Tie-dye, stripes, florals, ornate geometrics, fabulous swirls and spots – the catwalks were literally brimming with prints of every size, shape and colour for SS12. A sure-fire way to gain some fashion credentials this season, don’t hold back and don’t be scared to mismatch your patterns. Just look to the glamourous prints at D&G and Mary Katrantzou for inspiration and be bold. If your’re a little wary alternatively keep things crisp and clean with a uniform print from head-to-toe, like Diane von Furstenberg and Erdem.

L/R Rhianna, Jessica Alba, Poppy Delevigne & Diane Kruger

Maximize your print’s potential! Take inspiration from Rhianna, Diane Kruger, Jessica Alba and Poppy Delevigne and mix bold patterns with sharp tailoring, relaxed jumpsuits, structured dresses and heels for round the clock statement style. But who wears it best let us know below?
