Power prints

The easiest way to wear prints is to choose one as the focal point and build your outfit around it, pairing it with complementing hues. Feeling gutsy? Play with different prints and textures for an extra tricked-out look. -
Keep the size of the print in proportion with the size of your body – a too-small print can get lost on a voluptuous silhouette, while this season’s fabulously oversized patterns are perfect for a curvaceous bod.

Highlight your waist with a top or dress that nips in at the waist or call on your new best friend: the wide belt.
