A Guide to Timeless Fashion Prints

May 22, 2024
Laura Kate Lucas - Leopard Fashion Outfit

Fashion prints can add fun and personality to any outfit. From classic stripes to elegant florals, patterns in fashion have stayed on trend for as long as I know. There’s something about a good print that just has a timeless appeal. 

I wanted to explore the most iconic fashion prints and share ideas on how to style them for any occasion. So whether you’re looking to make a statement or add a subtle touch of fun, hopefully these tips will help you elevate your outfit game with a style that suits you.

Leopard Print

Leopard print is an obvious one to start with. It’s super on-trend right now, although I have been a lover of this print for as long as I can remember. It seems to ooze boldness and confidence! This exotic pattern can adds a touch of wild sophistication to any outfit. 

To style leopard print, I’d balance it with neutral tones like black, white, or a classic denim. For example, a leopard print skirt pairs well with a simple black or white oversized tee. You could also add accessories like leopard slides to elevate a more basic outfit. For a bolder look, you could try mixing leopard print with other prints or statement colours.

Geometric Patterns

Geometric prints are actually a good combination alongside leopard print. OR as a great alternative if leopard print isn’t your thing. These structured prints look equally bold and modern, but are available in many more varieties. 

From simple shapes to intricate designs, you can find different geometric patterns to add interest to any outfit. Choose pieces with clean lines and solid colours to create a balanced look. I’d also advise sticking to classic colour combinations like black-and-white or monochrome if you’re new to the print game and want to test the waters!

Floral

Floral is a feminine print that brings a touch of nature and romance to fashion. It comes in a variety of styles, too. From delicate and romantic to bold and vibrant, there is a floral print available for all. 

You can wear florals in all types of clothing pieces, though it’s usually preferred in dresses. This is because the dress forms the centerpiece of your outfit, especially when paired with neutral accessories.

Stripes

Another timeless print that made it to my list is stripes. This classic and contemporary pattern is a favourite for everyone.

If you want to try stripes, play with direction, size and colour. Vertical stripes are typically more preferred because they elongate and slim the figure. I’d probably pairing a striped top with solid bottoms for a balanced look.

Polka Dots

I think polka dots are so playful and cute! This print can be dressed up or down, which makes it an easy choice if you’re venturing into print for the first time. Also a great option that can fit with any style, as you can wear it really subtly, or go bold. I’d say smaller dots for a classic, understated look, and larger dots for a more bold and maybe whimsical look.

Summer is definitely a great season to experiment with prints, so it’s the perfect time to try! I’ve definitely gotten a little braver recently in my print and colour choices, and its such a fun way to change up your wardrobe. Why not try a little dopamine dressing yourself?!
