If you are in the habit of keeping up with what's in and what's not, the smarting "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking" will instantly flash in your mind as yet another guileless soul walks past in something covered in flowers.
We show you how to work some of the trendiest prints of the season.
Two's a team
Two is twice as good—and who better to take cues from than Kangana Ranaut and Cara Delevingne. Wear separates in the same print to make double the statement in half the effort.
Bohemian rhapsody
Don't save your kaleidoscopic prints for beach raves and weekend getaways; incorporate them into your daily wardrobe with saturated printed kaftans, kimono jackets and maxi dresses. If you want to inject prints in your work wardrobe, incorporate the element in either the top or trousers—and throw on a subtle jacket.
Summer dress 2.0
It's impossible to think of summers without lightweight dresses. Take a style lesson from star blogger Chiara Ferragni and opt for a colourful, geometric print shift dress. A vividly printed dress speaks for itself so refrain from further accessorising it. We recommend a pair of stilettos for the night, and backpack and beach waves for the day.
Print on print
If you're going to take on summer without any flower power, you better be armed with double the ammo. Get ready to clash, because pairing different prints is a sure-shot way to make heads turn. Stick to different prints of the same color family like Deepika Padukone. Chevrons, polka, stripes and tartans work well with most other patterns for day outfits, but if you're looking to dress up after dark, experiment with vivid graphic prints, embellishments and bright pop-prints.
Safe bet
If you don't want to go all out, include print in your wardrobe in scant quantities—a graphic printed top with jeans, printed pants and skirts with plain blouses. This is also the perfect way to take the look to the workplace—toned down with a solid blazer or tailored pants. Or go military like Jacqueline Fernandez in a camouflage jacket.
