This season prints rise to a whole new level. Take your pick from abstract, psychedelic or feminine to suit your style. A head-to-toe flower power outfit is no more taboo.Prints like cameras and sunglasses on jackets and trousers are en vogue. If conventional is not your cup of tea, clash your prints while maintaining a uniform colour palette. Soften an androgynous silhouette by sporting it in a pastel floral print. Here’s a trend that can flatter any body type.

STRIPE tease

Go back to your geometry notes this summer
Get linear with stripes in all shapes and sizes to add some symmetry to your wardrobe. Tricky as they are, stripes can lengthen and slim you down if worn the right way. Bias-cut stripes can shape a waist and create curves while thicker stripes add volume to a petite frame. The classic black and white gives way to brighter combinations for the season.
