Perfecting Paisley: How to wear this season’s hottest print
Paisley is the new season darling when it comes to fabulous prints. The Indian heritage swirly print was splashed all over the spring catwalks, much to our joy.
From delicious silk pyjama paisley print options at Stella McCartney to head-to-toe paisley mania at Jil Sander with tailored separates, we couldn’t possibly give it a miss!
Although the boho-inspired scheme of things at Matthew Williamson and Emilio Pucci had us in a paisley-induced daze, it’s no small feat sporting this powerful print. So, we decided to pick out the perfect piece that meets halfway for those print-phobics who can’t step out in a head-to-toe paisley ensemble but still want to stay loyal to the ‘ you shall sporteth all new trends’ commandment.
Our top paisley print pick is the JW Anderson Silk Paisley Print Shirt – a perfectly balanced take on the trend with a working wardrobe element that will transition perfectly from the office to after drinks, (or vice versa, if the latter is higher up on your priorities list!).
Paired with slim-leg cropped pants, a contrast blazer and colour splash clutch, the paisley print takes on a chic, not daunting guise.
