How to Wear Bold Colors and Prints This Spring and Summer

Hey, BK fam! This spring and summer, we want to make sure that you are looking and feeling your best. In 2022, we’re saying goodbye to just the same old neutrals and saying hello to bold pieces that will elevate your street-style look. Whether you are looking for a sweatshirt or patterned sweatpants for a day lounging around the house or some bold new swim shorts for your boardwalk fit, we’ve got you covered.

We know that bold colors and prints can feel overwhelming. Figuring out how to match them to make the best outfit can be challenging, and that’s why we are here to help guide you through what’s trending for Spring and Summer 2022.

 

The Colors of the Season

First, let’s start with the basics, what are the must-have colors for this season? Right now, saturated bold colors are the way to go. This includes bright greens, yellows, orange-reds, and peachy pinks. Wearing these types of bright colors is a great way to energize your day and opens endless opportunities to create cool looks all summer long.

These bright colors can be intimidating at first but pairing them with neutrals is a great way to test the fashion waters. The simplest way to pull this look together is by adding a pop of pattern somewhere in your look to make it feel cohesive. This can be something simple like a hat or scarf, or even bold patterned shoes.

 

How to Wear Bold Patterns

If you want to rock bold prints this spring and summer, the key is to not go overboard. We love lots of colors and patterns, but if you want your look to be cohesive, limit your color palette to only three different colors. You can always add elements of your pattern into your look by using a color in the pattern as an accent.

Allowing the rest of your outfit to be subdued will truly allow for your bold pattern to pop in your outfit. Incorporate the colors within the pattern in your outfit so that they will flow seamlessly into each other.

If you love patterns but don’t want to overpower the rest of your outfit, utilize accessories as much as possible. The same goes for wearing bold colors - use scarves, hats, and bags that are easy to remove if you want to change it up throughout the day.

 

Find What Colors and Patterns Work for You

When working with bold colors and patterns, it’s not one-size-fits-all, and it’s important to find what makes you feel your best. While more petite bodies might feel more comfortable in smaller prints, taller bodies with longer torsos might enjoy larger and bolder prints.

The key with fashion, as always, is to experiment with a trend until you find what works best for you. Playing around with different colors, fabrics, textures, and patterns is sure to elevate your style.

We here at Brooklyn Cloth want to make sure that you have all the best colors and patterns, so we put together some of our favorite finds from our spring and summer collections for you!
