the art and science of Styling fabulous prints

Follow our tips for selecting and styling the right fabulous print for you.

Petite Women

• Opt for large prints in mini dresses or miniskirts paired with heels.
• Choose sleeveless styles to minimise and balance the impact of the print.
• Pair a floral top with a dark pant or skirt to elongate your silhouette.
• Embrace the leisure suit trend with a relaxed pant and a cropped top or bralette.
• Wear a boxy collared shirt with swimwear, shorts, jeans, or as a jacket over a slip dress.

Curvy Women

• Select a pattern that emphasises your curves.
• Break the pattern at your waist with a contrasting belt or by pairing a cropped top with a maxi skirt or wide leg pant.
• Choose a dress with v neckline and capped sleeves or padded shoulders.
• Look for asymmetric prints, offset centre seams, buttons or hems, like the Once Was dress with asymmetrical buttons down the front.
• Small prints are more flattering than large ones. The RWB sequinned Party Collection is a perfect choice.
• Floaty mini dresses with an espadrille are an ideal option.

Tall Women

• Take advantage of your height by wearing the current leisure/pyjama suit styles head to toe.
• Vertical prints will beautifully accentuate your height.
• Maxi lengths or full-length pants in a bold print will make a statement.
• Small or large prints with a lot of negative space can help you appear smaller.

Do not forget your accessories!

If choosing a subtle print why not consider making a statement with your accesories.

• Make a statement: wear bold jewellery, like colourful beaded necklaces or chunky gold bracelets.
• Neutral Outfits: Add a pop of colour with a brightly coloured tote bag or a colourful crossbody pouch.
• Beachwear: Tie a silk scarf around your sun hat or use it as a sarong.

Brands also offer bucket hats, sunhats and baseball caps featuring prints from their collections.

This is another fun way to add a statement print.
