Wearing prints to the office is professionally and evidently fashionably acceptable. I wouldn’t go too eccentric, but it is definitely doable for the workforce. In order to keep you on track for wearing the most professional prints, we have listed our top 3 favourite prints to wear that are appropriate and trendy for your everyday ‘work’ look.
Windowpane checks
The great thing about wearing windowpane checks is that instead of squares, it is essentially slightly elongated rectangles, giving you a lengthened and slimmer look on your body.
Stripes
Stripes are always a simple, classic and easy print to pull off. A tip to remember when wearing stripes is that horizontal stripes will elongate the area where worn, and horizontal stripes will widen the area wear worn.
Leopard print
Wearing leopard print is a head turning, ‘riskay’ print to wear, when wearing it with confidence you’re bound to make heads turn. This is the ultimate statement print.
