How To Wear Prints For Spring

By Lauren Larsen @EnsembleCalgary · On May 4, 2015

Spring is here and if you haven’t started thinking about what new pieces your wardrobe is missing to suit the warmer weather, I’ve got you covered! Covered in prints, that is. Because a great print helps you make a style statement, in a big way. Whether you decide on a vintage floral design or opt for something sportier, such as stripes or a geometric print, the key is to keep the rest of the look minimal to ensure the focus is on your shirt and you aren’t print overloading.

Key prints to look for this season include: tropical prints, geometrics, dots, camo, tropical prints and microprints.

Blue My Mind
This look is all about the blue. Blue detailing on the shoes to pair with the blue shirt and blue tint on the sunglasses will ensure your look is put together just enough to turn heads (without looking overdone).

Shirt: River Island | Shorts: River Island | Shoes: Common Projects | Sunglasses: Warby Parker

Canadian Tuxedo Sexy
Who ever said the Canadian Tuxedo is a fashion faux pas was definitely not up to speed with the latest trends. Pair an awesome geometric print button-up, like the one shown below, with a denim jacket and raw denim jeans, and accessorize with a cool pair of sunglasses and some awesome sneakers.

The Stylin’ Hawaiian
If you think Hawaiian prints are just for over-the-top dads, this seasons top prints will prove you wrong. Step out in this micro[ish] Hawaiian print shirt, toss on the latest and greatest Taylor Stitch jacket and a pair of brown Chelsea boots to match and you’re set!

Jacket: Taylor Stitch | Shirt: Freemans Sporting Club | Jeans: The Gap | Sunglasses:  Garrett Leight California | Boots: Vagabond Linhope

Cool, Goes Without Saying
A great pair of chino coloured raw denim, a understated print button up, and a black bomber jacket, paired with your choice of sunglasses (I like the pair shown below by Warby Parker) will create an effortless yet put-together ensemble. Style tip: cuff the sleeve on the shirt!

Your personal style is what sets you apart – it is what defines the type of first impressions you make.  Putting a bit of thought into what you wear, or asking someone’s opinion if you are unsure will have a huge effect on the way the world perceives you. You never know, you might start turning heads and achieving those big goals. Confidence is a result of how you feel about yourself ,and when you feel great in what you’re wearing, you will radiate confidence and the world will notice!
