There’s no right or wrong when it comes to wearing prints in 2021. No particular patterns could be considered “out” and there’s a great deal of freedom when it comes to jazzing up your daily wardrobe with all manner of motifs. Stripes? In. Polka-dots? Yes. Florals? Naturally. If it’s printed and you like it, wear it.
If, however, you’re a pattern and print fiend like me, you’ll want to know what’s looking especially new and lively for the spring/summer season ahead. And unlike other trends that require warm weather or even—whisper it—a holiday, you can jump right into print and colour ideas whilst the weather is still grim. In fact, now is a time when designers and stores are really backing the concept of joyful fashion, offering up a range of ideas that help brighten dark days and the sombre outfits we’ve come accustomed to. And you’ll even find these details extended to other areas of your life, like with manicures and interiors, so there are plenty of opportunities for cheering oneself up.
So there’s nothing particularly classic or subtle on the menu, but that’s just how I want my fashion right now. Keep scrolling for the new print trends we predict will be big business in 2021…
