Shopping the Incredible Prints

Looking for some incredible prints to add to your wardrobe this spring? While many amazing printed pieces will be hitting stores in the next couple of weeks along with the new spring collections, there are some great pieces you can shop now as well. Here are some I have gathered from the web... take a look!

Carven Printed Silk-Habotai Top / O'2ND Floral Tank / ACNE Jody Printed Taffeta Top

For a simple printed addition to your wardrobe, look no further than a printed top or blouse. Instant style with minimal styling efforts. Like we saw at Dries Van Noten, a landscape print is an awesome statement, especially when pasted on a loose-fitted tee. Throw on a jacket or blazer and you're good to go. For something a little more feminine, try a printed silk tank or taffeta top and dare to show off your mastery of the prints by mixing them with printed shorts or trousers.

J Crew Jules Floral Print Dress / Topshop Rosey Posey Dress / Stella McCartney Hawaiian Print T-Shirt Dress

For a really effortless showstopper, look for a printed dress. J Crew and Topshop have some great affordable options this season while the coveted Stella McCartney takes us to a tropical paradise with her exotic creations. However, if you're looking to invest, the best of the printed dresses have yet to arrive with the spring collections (cue the Dolce & Gabbana).

Topshop Hieroglyphic Silk Joggers / Dolce & Gabbana Floral Print Pants / Thakoon Rose Print Pants / Rag & Bone Racine Printed Wide Leg Pant

For a bold printed statement, look for a great pant or blazer. The above and beyond print for me this season is Céline's resort floral prints (trust me, the stitching is even more beautiful in the flesh), but Zara has some great and affordable printed jackets in their new collection, perfect for adding a little punch to a casual jeans and tee-shirt uniform. In the pant category, ACNE and Thakoon have turned out a fabulous, subdued black and white printed trouser or two this season (check out Topshop's for a more affordable option), while Rag & Bone's gorgeous yellow/navy print and D&G's colorful florals are the ultimate statement standouts.
