Earlier this year the Stella McCartney print dress was flying off the racks, after being seen on everyone from Nicole Kidman to Gwyneth Paltrow. If you thought print was dead, think again. The printed dress is back, back, back. This time with a more modern twist.
Bold patterns – think geometric, floral and tribal are definite winners but feathers and paisley and make it to the top of the class as well.The bolder the pattern, the bigger the statement.So make sure that the dress remains the focus by keeping accessories simple and polished – a skinny necklace, shoes and clutches in neutral or pale tones. If you really want to amp up the dress, choose a midi-length bodycon style, or a frock with sexy cut-outs.
Here are a few of our favourites, and a little inspiration for you to boot!
