Whether you are opting for a full printed look, or one patterned item whether it’s trousers, a top or outerwear, maybe even just your footwear, handbag or other accessories, a printed garment is not to be feared.

Cow print is a welcome alternative to the popular leopard print that has filled our closets in recent months. Cow print is, of course, a nod to the western theme, and why we love it is because it is a softer, tonal print thanks to the tan, chestnut brown and off-white tones.

Polka dot print has been a timeless trend that has been popular throughout the decades dating back to the 1940s. Spot print is commonly in monochrome colour scheme, though it can be in any shade. Plus, the size of the polka dots can vary from large to minuscule dots. It’s a simple trend and one we recommend investing in because it is not going anywhere fast. Timeless, feminine, and effortlessly chic – a polka dot blouse is a must-have in any wardrobe, and you are guaranteed to get your cost per wear out of. This blouse offers a vintage vibe, though it is still a classic staple to make an outfit look chic and sophisticated. The delicate puff sleeves and soft fabric offer a flattering silhouette, making it perfect for both office wear, casual outings, as well as an evening date night. Style with skirts, trousers, or jeans, this number will complement any outfit.
Add a playful twist to any outfit with these Black Polka Dot Tights. The classic hosiery item has been given an update with the small polka dot pattern, which will easily elevate any outfit.These tights are perfect for layering under skirts, dresses, or shorts for added texture and warmth during the cooler months. Snake print has been a new trend to come on our radar, and a welcome alternative to zebra print, though it offers warmer neutral tones instead of the harsh contrast of monochrome. But snake print in leather fabric is dominating the fashion scene, and it’s perfect for the winter months for extra warmth. Snake print trousers, boots, or bags are all the craze, so you can opt for a subtle injection of the trend or go bold with printed trousers to take centre stage in your outfit.
Sleek and edgy, the Beige Denim Seamed Snake Print Barrel Jeans are a bold addition to your trouser collection. The snake print is a slightly softer colourway than the usual snake print trousers I have seen, but this means they are more versatile and easier to style, in my opinion.The barrel shape means this garment ticks two style trends in one as the curved silhouette has been hugely popular among content creators of late. The high-waisted fit is ultra flattering too as it cinches you in in the right places and elongates your legs despite the balloon cut. Pair with a classic white T-shirt, shirt, a chunky knit, with trainers or heeled boots depending on the occasion.
