I’m usually one for big, bold prints but this season I’m all about the pretty painterly feel. It’s a softer approach – and it’s speaking to the romantic in me. These printed dresses are so gorgeous you can practically hang them on your walls. But it’s so much for fun to wear something beautiful! My top picks of this season’s prints will be the new masterpiece in your wardrobe.
1) Oscar de la Renta Printed Silk A-Line Dress: I am in love with this sun-drenched meadow print. I would love this as wallpaper, how would one get that done? At Bergdorf Goodman for $2,290.
2) BOSS Black Graphic Dress: Thick, forward brushstrokes have an enigmatic effect on this silk-cotton shift, with an A-line silhouette perfect for festive afternoons. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $550.
3) Jonathan Saunders Renton Printed Cotton and Silk-Blend Dress: Play the part of the impeccable fifties housewife in this pleated confection, with a decorative pattern that’s nice and subtle. On Net-a-Porter
4) Roberto Cavalli Printed Cotton Gown: This collage-like summer dress is a mix of modern and classic, with a swishing skirt in a smashing floral print. On Net-a-Porter
5) Antonio Berardi Printed Silk-Georgette Kaftan Gown: Part dreamy watercolor, part vivid oil painting – with a splash of blooming purple that catches the eye – this is perfect for Valentine’s Day. And then you’ll have it to enjoy all season. On Net-a-Porter
