2018 sees the reintroduction of 7 refreshed prints to the wardrobe. Whilst familiar, the way they’re being worn may differ.

Brushstroke florals

Expect to see these bold patterns on anything from boots to dresses. Bright and defined, they are a departure from the more muted bohemian prints.

Checks

Whereas in the past checks were worn sparingly, this year’s trend is to wear checks on checks. The best contrast to create is wearing big checks combined with small checks.

Leopard or cheetah print

This print was popular in the 1980s and is set to make a big comeback in 2018. Expect to see electrifying animal prints in bright colors.

Polka dots

This year’s trends include combining dots of different sizes and opting for blurred or pixelated polka dots instead of conventional ones.

Camouflage

Camouflage pants, leggings, and boots are very much in style this season in tapered, tailored looks. Team camo pants with a simple white T-shirt.

Pinstripes

Prepare to see interesting interpretations of the pinstripe and its applications in the power suit.

Graphic color-blocking

Whether on one item or mixed and matched through separate items, color-blocking is in.
