Resort 25 Key print and pattern trends
Aug
According to print manufacturer Vogzy, beyond their aesthetic appeal, wearing prints and patterns can have a profound psychological impact, shaping our mood and influencing our style choices in subtle yet significant ways. Studies have shown that wearing vibrant and colorful prints can elevate mood and boost confidence, while more subdued prints may have a calming effect.
The Resort 25 collections were filled with a wide variety of trends and the same could be said for the prints and patterns on offer. As previously stated here, animal prints such as leopard and snake led the way but there were a myriad of other options.
