From zesty oranges to the Sorrento lemon, freshly-picked fruit prints are the new-season way to tap into the tropical trend. Find the delectable design on easy tea dresses and one-shoulder tops, with all-black backdrops and bright bursts of colour creating a vibrant contrast. Stronger statements come in the shape of oversized citrus fruits on long, languid maxis, adorned with ruffles for a feminine finish.
Animal prints have been amplified for SS19. Neutral hues have made room for high-octane colours, as seen on this season’s key midi dresses and cami tops. Here, the classic print is reinterpreted with a luminous yellow base and bold graphic spots in red and blue, showcasing a new print story that captures the palpable energy of warm summer days.
Bohemian prints have resurfaced for yet another summer – and this time, they’re cooler and more considered than ever before. Oversized botanical florals with paisley-print details are placed against warm sunset palettes, with safari-style silhouettes making them feel new, refreshed and altogether more modern.
Playing with proportion, colour and print, clashing florals are one of the key statement-makers of SS19. Take on the trend with a wind-blown satin kimono and wide-leg trousers, spliced with blocks of colour, and patterned with a mix of small-scale and larger florals. Wear both at one or separately, balancing out the boldness with soft neutrals.
