Fashion Brew

As every fashionista knows, if it’s summer, it’s got to be prints! We’ve rounded up a few of the most significant trends from the season and found you easy, affordable ways to incorporate them into your wardrobe.

 

 

1. Polka dots

Polka dots are enjoying a big resurgence this year. Matched with midi skirts, tie neck blouses and nip-waist dresses, they create a delightfully feminine 1950s vibe. For a more modern take, wear the classic print in the form of a sassy playsuit or an elegant, bold red skater dress. You can also mix and match separates with two contrasting polka dot prints or clashing prints.

 

 

For a little bit of edge, you can try pairing your delicate polka dot tops with distressed jeans or match your feminine polka dot dresses with sneakers.

 

2. Snake print

Animal prints live in our closet in some form of other, season after season. This time around, it’s the turn of the snake print. Since the print itself is so busy, we suggest keeping the silhouette simple, like in this slip dress or this midi-length shirt dress. If you don’t want to commit to a full look with this trend, why not start small with accessories? For instance, these snake print sandals are sizzling right now.

 

 

3. Scarf print

We first saw this print on runways and the ‘gram a couple of seasons ago, and they continue to be hugely popular. It’s not hard to see why. Scarf prints are luxurious and flowy, conferring an instant feeling of haute couture glam. We think this gorgeous black shirt with gold chain print is a wardrobe must-have!

 

4. Florals

Florals for summer? We know that this recommendation is a no-brainer, but there are ways to keep it fresh, pun intended.  For instance, this pretty dress allows you to combine two trends at one go – mustard and delicate florals.

 

 

In fact, this season’s floral looks involve a lot of pastels in delicate prints, with shirt, midi and skater styles dominating. With Ramadan coming up, it’s a great way to do modest style as well.
