We don’t want to contradict ourselves—we absolutely think curating a concise edit of timeless staples is of the utmost importance to prioritise the buys you’ll come back to again and again, season after season. But it’s also important for your personality to shine through your clothing, and, let’s face it, there’s only so much a white linen shirt, classic-cut denim, and loafers (as chic as they may be) can do to signify who you are. In reality, the secret of any well-balanced wardrobe is to offset classic items with characterful pieces—pieces that are fun, playful, and fill you with joy.
Now, it’s up to you to decide what constitutes playful. For the minimalists among us, it could be a black beaded bag or perhaps a pair of sunglasses in an abstract shape. But for those with a more eclectic approach to style, one of the simplest ways to refresh and refine your springtime look is with an on-trend print. And this season, there are three new, inherently jolly motifs to consider. From the new take on checks to the grown-up alternative to tie-dye, keep scrolling to see the cheery spring pattern trends everyone is wearing right now.
