Checks
From blazers to suits to handbags, check prints are showing up everywhere and anywhere this season. A check print packs a serious fashion punch for an effortlessly put-together, considered and fashion forward look while also being easy to style. Checks work with all washes of denim and are just as at home with a corporate look as they are with a weekend dress. Stylish, check. On trend, check. Versatile, check...puns all intended.

Gothic Florals
Sound like an oxymoron? Well, it isn’t. Gothic Florals are the answer to all your edgy, quirky dreams. Think bold, dark and luxurious, gothic floral prints add depth and drama to an otherwise feminine, seen-it-all-before look. In rich tones like burgundy, purple, forest green and charcoal, you can be sure a print like this will give you serious edgy appeal. To work this print go for dramatic shapes and textural fabrics - wide shoulders, billowy sleeves, ruffles and collars in silk, brocade and satin. To maximise the effect, style back with ultra-skinny jeans, black biker boots and a smokey eye.

Animal Print
Spots are finding their way into stores worldwide as the runway shows in 2019 offered up a million and ones way to do animal print without verging into tacky territory. A long line coat is a great way to kick things off but for something a little more wild consider a leopard print silk midi skirt, a pointed ankle boot or a faux fur coat.
