Prints Charming: How to Master Florals, Stripes, and Everything in Between
A playful and practical guide to styling bold prints with flair (and without fear).
There’s a reason they say fashion is the most fun form of self-expression — and nothing says "I’ve arrived" like a bold print that turns heads for all the right reasons. Whether it’s flirty florals, timeless stripes, graphic motifs, or sassy animal prints, prints are your wardrobe’s built-in mood boosters.
But let’s be honest — styling bold prints can sometimes feel a little intimidating. You love the pattern on the hanger, but then you think, "Can I really pull that off?" The answer? Yes. Yes, you absolutely can. And Style Boutique is here to help you do it with confidence, colour, and a little bit of sass.
Prints aren’t just about making a statement — they’re about embracing personality, creativity, and your own unique fashion rhythm. Ready to master the art of mixing and styling prints without overthinking it? Let’s dive in.
Say Yes to Florals (Again and Again)
Florals are a classic for a reason. They’re feminine, flattering, and incredibly versatile. But forget the old cliché — today’s florals are anything but predictable. We’re talking about vibrant, statement-making blooms that bring your outfit — and your day — to life.
Enter the YEW tops at Style Boutique. If you haven’t discovered them yet, where have you been? These tops are known (and loved) for being bold, bright, and totally joyful. Many feature gorgeous floral prints in high-impact colour palettes that flatter all skin tones and make styling an absolute breeze. Pair them with neutral trousers or denim for an effortless look, or go full bloom and match them with a coordinating skirt if you're feeling adventurous.
And let’s not forget Elena Z dresses — the queens of bold floral fashion. These pieces are perfect for weddings, brunches, or simply adding joy to a rainy Tuesday. The flowing silhouettes and powerful floral prints make them an instant standout — no accessories required.
Stripes That Don’t Steer You Wrong
Stripes are timeless — but they're also incredibly modern when styled right. Whether you're after nautical chic, Parisian cool, or casual weekend glam, there’s a stripe for that.
Our current obsession? The Barbara Lebek striped linen trousers. Lightweight, breathable, and seriously stylish, these trousers are your warm-weather MVP. The vertical stripe elongates the leg (yes, really!), making them a dream for flattering your shape. Wear them with a solid-colour blouse or tee to keep things clean, or throw in a pop of print for the perfect high-low mix.
Contrary to popular belief, stripes are not the enemy of curves. In fact, when styled intentionally, stripes can define the waist, elongate the torso, and draw the eye exactly where you want it to go.
Graphic Tees = The Hero of Summer
When the heat rises, the style should stay cool — and nothing nails that balance quite like a well-chosen graphic tee. They’re playful, on-trend, and effortlessly cool.
Style Boutique has stocked up for the season with an incredible selection of graphic t-shirts that are perfect for summer days, garden parties, and spontaneous road trips. Pair them with denim shorts, tuck them into a midi skirt, or layer under a blazer for a cheeky twist on smart-casual.
What we love most? Graphic tees make it easy to introduce prints into your wardrobe if you’re not quite ready to go full floral or leopard. They’re your gateway to bold — and you’ll be addicted in no time.
Wild Side, Unleashed: Animal Prints That Roar
We need to talk about animal print — because it’s not going anywhere. And honestly? We don’t want it to.
Whether it’s a classic leopard print, a bold zebra stripe, or something a little more exotic, animal prints are a fabulous way to inject attitude into your look. At Style Boutique, we’re seriously stocked with options — from I’CONA’s stylish separates to the ever-popular Robell Happy Jacket (a must-have if you want to add a fierce edge to any outfit).
Feeling bolder? Check out Hope & Ivy’s dreamy collection, where subtle animal-inspired patterns meet feminine cuts and rich fabrics. It’s glamour with a growl.
And don’t believe the old myth that animal prints are “too loud” or “too much” — they’re as neutral as beige when done right. Pair them with solids, layer them under structured jackets, or even mix prints if you're feeling extra confident (a leopard top with striped trousers? Yes, you can).
How to Make Prints Work for You
Now that you’re eyeing up all the bold options, let’s talk styling. The trick to mastering prints isn’t about following strict fashion rules — it’s about trusting your instincts and learning what feels good.
Start with one statement piece — maybe it’s a YEW top, a pair of Barbara Lebek trousers, or that killer Robell jacket — and build your outfit around it with more subtle or neutral pieces. Over time, you’ll get more comfortable mixing and matching prints, textures, and tones.
Think of it like cooking: start simple, then experiment. You might be surprised how addictive (and empowering) it becomes.
The most important piece of advice? Have fun with it. Fashion should never feel like a chore. Prints give you permission to play, to express your mood, and to remind the world — and yourself — that you are bold, beautiful, and unapologetically you.
