Tribal Inspiration

What are we loving? Bright patterns, edgy graphics and tons of accessories! The tribal trend is taking over spring and summer store windows with a vengeance. It's a fresh take on patterns and creates a sophisticated but bohemian vibe.

Choose colors based on your style from bright neons to dusty earth tones  Combine the bold patterns with solid colors to anchor the look. Spring weather can be somewhat unreliable, so stick to a recent wardrobe staple, your printed denim! choose a lightweight style with Aztec prints or geometric graphics. Simply pair a light knit sweater or dolman top over these to let the print pop! Go with natural accessories to build on the bohemian theme. You can integrate color such as turquoise or stick to your metals such as gold, rose gold, or silver. A day look calls for a simple sandal or short boot.

Planning to go out and about? These prints translate well even on cocktail dresses! Keep it short and sweet in a relaxed fit mini dress or even dress things up in cocktail attire. For the ultimate in comfort and style, go maxi! Pair either with a wedge or strappy heel to complete the evening look! As always, jewels can easily dress up the frock. For a more sophisticated look, stick to metals or gemstones.

As always, fit is important. Be aware of assets you want to draw attention to and ones you don't. Strategically place the print on an asset you are proud of! Prints and patterns are everywhere, but because of the drama a tribal print brings, tone it down and little and avoid mixing prints. If the trend is a little much for you, start with aztec jewelry or a tribal clutch to ease into it. As always, have fun with the trend!
