One of the essential fashion trends for the Spring is print. Prints can be spotted on handbags, clothes, shoes, and jewelry. Popular prints include animal prints (such as leopard and snakeskin), floral prints, and graphic arts.
Many designers, such as Dolce & Gabanna, Marc Jacobs, Oscar dela Renta, Roberto Cavalli, and Stella McCartney, have launched their unique print items for this season.
When it comes to wearing a print, it’s better to minimize the number of the print items on you. Do not wear the print head-to-toe. For example, if you are wearing a snakeskin print dress, don’t pair it with print shoe or handbag. Instead, pair the dress with a mono-tone accessory, such as black pump or light colored handbag. If you want to wear a print shoe, avoid wearing eye-catching clothes that will divert attention away from your shoe. In another words, the print shoe is the focus and rest of your outfit becomes the accessories.
Below are a few examples of the prints launched for the Spring.
Leopard Print
The Marc Jacob belted leopard-print dress is a classic. (left) The black belt and sleeves add the balance to the leopard pattern. The dress by Roberto Cavalli is very sexy. (right) The leopard print in the middle blends well in the mixed print. And the silk material makes the dress stand out.
Marc Jacobs – Belted Leopard-Print Dress $895
Roberto Cavalli – Mixed-Print Dress & Metallic Belt $5,260
Snakeskin Print
I really like the Python print dress by Gucci (left). The mixture of green and dark snakeskin makes it a sexy dress for Spring. This Valentino snakeskin bag (left) reminds me of a leopard bag Valentino made for Fall. They are equally nice in an eye-catching way.
Gucci – Light Green Jacquard Python Motif Tunic Dress $2,250
Valentino – Rockstud Medium Snakeskin Tote Bag, Ivory $4,695
Floral Print
Floral print is in for every Spring. The dress by Versace (left) is ideal for a night out. The gorgeous floral python platform by Jimmy Choo (right) is perfect for the season. I’d pair it with a simple white dress, such as Herve Legaer’s Cap-Sleeve Bandage Dress to show off the floral print on this shoe.
Versace – Cutout-Waist Floral Dress $2,250
Jimmy Choo – Lola Floral Python Platform Pump $1,001 (original $1,495)
