We love to talk about our prints (how about floral, stripes, dots or chess) and we love the wear them as well! As it is May, the season of prints is here and we’re too excited to gush in the world of patterns. But wearing print is not an obvious choice to everyone, and too many believe that prints are not something for them (we don’t believe them honestly). So folks, this is how to begin to wear print!
Pick your print
A good pattern can be anything from small dots, stripes and squares to paisley, floral or different motives. By
that said, you can find anything that suits you. From minimalistic to maxi, there are prints and patterns out there just waiting to be worn by you. So first step is to track down some prints that suits you. Don’t be afraid to go for the one you really want regardless if you dare to wear it or not (you’ll get around it eventually)
Know how to match it
If you don’t want to head for matching pattern with pattern, the best way to start is by playing it down. By playing it down you pair your print with a neutral color such as black, grey or white. By doing so, you’ll tone down the intensity in your outfit that prints often causes. If you want go be a bit bolder than that, try the tips we talked about in this post! It’s quite genius.
Another way to begin to dare is letting the printed clothing piece be the supporting piece in the outfit. For instance, it can be a floral tank top matched with a blazer. The tank top will be a detail and not a statement. Or
a printed dress beneath a jacket where only a part of the dress is visible. It’s all about playing it down!
Just do it
Start now. Spring and summer are truly the best season for print, they’re fun, vibrant and goes well with the style of spring and summer clothes. You dress for yourself, and no one else. If you’re still not sure about beginning, why not start with a simple scarf? A scarf will give your outfit an extra touch but still not dominate your outfit. It will also get you used to seeing yourself in print without taking over completely.
There are too many perks of prints than for people to ignore their existence if you ask us. So dare to begin to wear print, life kind of gets funnier with it (not a scientific proof, but definitely worthy!). What are your tips for wearing print? Comment below folks!
This is really useful post, this is the perfect season for floral prints.

I am very shy about wearing prints, I just don’t feel comfortable with it. I have been more open to the idea though but I’ll probably start with a scarf or another small item first.

Starting with a scarf is a great tips for beginning to wear print! Another tip is to pick a print that’s very subtle (almost hard to notice) and get comfortable with wearing print on a very basic level! Xx
