2013 celebrates bolder prints during the Spring/Summer season. From cute whimsical animals all the way to Aztec-inspired tribal prints, it’s definitely a smart move to go the printed way this season. Here’s a list of the top five prints we’ve been seeing on the streets and in our favorite stores.

Chevron
Chevron made its way into the style scene just last year during summer and it’s still a stylish look to rock this year! Choose to keep it simple with monotone shades, or add a little more life to it with colors, chevron is certainly our pick. If you’re not bold enough to wear it on your clothes, incorporate chevron prints into your accessories like your manicure.

Leopard Print
Leopard Print is here to stay. Leopard prints is almost like the new black, and you can pair it with just about anything you have in your closet, and that even includes other prints. Pair it with minimalist prints like nautical stripes and you can give your laid back feel a little touch of safari vibes. Just look for subtler prints so that it doesn’t come off as too tacky when you wear it out.

Abstract Floral Prints
Floral prints have taken a step back from demure romanticism and it’s given a new vibrant facelift that’s perfect for women of all ages. Abstract floral prints can give a little touch of edge to a simple outfit, but the key is to keeping the rest of your outfit minimal. For makeup, a bold lip, and groomed eyebrows is pretty much all you need.

Tropical prints are truly the perfect look to transition from spring to summer. After all, aren’t we all excited to find solitude in a tropical paradise?
