Prints - Spring-Summer 2014

One of the main elements of clothing design is a print. With its help create a variety of visual effects, place accents and set the general mood. Also, using the print, you can adjust the shape, hide its shortcomings and emphasize the advantages.

In this article, we'll talk about which prints are in fashion in 2014.

Fashionable prints of 2014

The main trend of this year are patterns that repeat the skin or fur of different animals.

The most fashionable animalistic print of 2014 is leopard print . The pattern that imitates the skin of a carnivorous cat decorates not only clothes, but also handbags, shoes, headgear, scarves and scarves, underwear, as well as a variety of jewelry and costume jewelry.

The second most popular - snake print - is found in clothes in 2014, not only in the traditional color scheme, but also in alternative versions. Especially popular are raspberry, azure, red and lilac shades.

This year, many designers were inspired by the canvases of artists - on the catwalks we meet elements of Suprematism, Expressionism, abstractionism and even whole fragments of the works of the masters of painting. Particularly relevant in this year are images of landscapes and portraits on cloth.

Classic peas are the third popular type of print in 2014. It can be both black and white and color. In this case, not only monotonous peas on a monophonic background are acceptable, but also multi-colored versions. The size of the peas also varies from small, with a pinhead, to a large one - 10 cm in diameter and larger.

Flower print in 2014 adorns most collections. The popularity of floral motifs in the spring-summer period has been preserved for several years in a row, and it is unlikely that in the future summer dresses and flower skirts will go out of fashion. Surrealistic compositions based on a floral print, as well as fabrics with hand-embroidered and painted, are especially relevant this season.

Choose the type and color of the print according to your shape and appearance type. For example, a very full of girls should not wear clothes with a very small bright pattern - often it looks variegated. But a large floral pattern on the fabric can help visually hide too full of breasts or hips.

In place of the winter total obsession with the checkered pattern came a massive love for the strip. Striped jackets and skirts, pants and blouses - no fashion collection Spring-Summer 2014 was not without at least a couple of striped things. It is the striped things that have the greatest potential for the possibility of visual correction of the figure. A vertical strip - slender, diagonal stripes around the waist or hips are able to emphasize the femininity of the figure.

How to wear prints in the spring-summer of 2014?

In contrast to previous years, prints in 2014 are not only possible, but also need to be combined. True, to do this competently by force is not all.

Leopard print in 2014 combines with oriental patterns, stripes and floral motifs.

The ban on combining bright prints (for example, a strip and a cage) has remained in the past. Today, girls with pleasure combine checkered jackets with striped skirts, and blouses in polka dots with skirts in a cage, strip or with an oriental pattern. Of course, for experiments of this kind, great courage is required, and besides - common sense and good taste. If you doubt your ability to competently and stylishly combine catchy prints - use long proven methods: select one key pattern, and as partners to it use monophonic things.

As you can see, there are enough options for fashion prints in 2014. Our gallery presents examples of images using prints that will help you easily use fashionable patterns when creating not only everyday, but also business or solemn images.
