Want to add little jazz to that Summer wardrobe? It’s late in the shopping season. So how about adding an item that wll take you through Fall? Right now, you’ll bring both your Summer and Fall closet bang up-to-date by picking something in print.
Your choices are funky florals, preppy plaids and awesoeme animal prints. Take a look…
Yes, florals have gone graphic. Large prints, often with no discernible pattern, dominate the changing season. Here’s an 80s inspired tunic from SuzyShier.
You know the rules, ladies. Pair an item as powerful as this with plain pieces, such as straight jeans and black leggings. Keep accessories simple, and the very petite beware, scale down the size of the prints you pick to avoid getting lost in the foliage.
Want a more conservative print – then go mad for plaid. You’ll see it everywhere this Fall. If you find tarten a bit too twee, go for tone on tone, as seen in this transitional top from Banana Republic. Or take advantage of the plethora of plaid accessories – a great way to update any look. Here’s a scarf from The Gap.
Alternatively – go wild with an animal print. Snake, zebra and leopard are the dominant species of style. Feeling brave? Hunt for a trench or dress in your favourite fauna. This is from Guess Canada:
Or stay on safari with animal-inspired accessories. Faux snake bags and shoe from The Shoe Company…
