Female empowerment, romantic French sentences or a simple provoking word all belong in the text print category.

2. Graphic print

Graphic prints have arty appeal that just makes you keep coming back to them - no matter if it concerns the organic-shaped or geometric type. Bright colors are often teamed with neutrals, while tonal prints create harmony. Graphic prints are often applied all-over on a garment; opt for an all-out graphic look by mixing prints, or create a balanced look by teaming graphics in tonal palettes.

3. Floral print

A floral print evokes romance - and this counts for all forms: from enlarged designs to aquarelle and an 1-on-1 photo print. Flowers equal femininity and even the type of flower you choose tells something about your classic, modern or minimal dress style.

Tip: adjust the size of the print to your body length. If you’re on the short side, then opt for a refined print. When you’re tall, a larger print will create better balance.
