Floral designs, fruit stripes, and camo prints are just some of the biggest fashion trends we expect to dominate the winter season, having been heavily featured at this year’s Fashion Weeks and collections.
Of course, not all patterns, prints, and styles exhibited in the winter fashion shows will find their way onto the main streets in the precise form we witnessed them on the runways.
But the elements of the outfits on the catwalks – be they a pattern, print, color, fabric, or design – have been used by fashion designers, fashionistas, and everyday jane. That’s why it comes as no surprise that most of these elements are trending right now.
If you need inspiration for spicing up your wardrobe for the cold weather, here are the most elegant and chic prints and patterns that everyone is falling for right now. There has been a trend going on Instagram and Tiktok and those are customized socks with faces.
Camo Print
The camo print is one of the most popular patterns making a comeback this winter, along with checkered-style designs. From shades of gray to navy blue to khaki to green, the camouflage print is the best trend this winter, and it’s printed on just about any clothing item.
The print is featured on pants, t-shirts, parkas, socks, denim jackets, scarves, leggings, joggers – you name it! The timeless print is one of those styles whose popularity shows up in waves, and this is the perfect time for it.
We’ve already seen many celebs rocking the camo prints, including Victoria Beckham, Gilda Ambrosio, camo queen herself, Hailey Bieber, Caroline Daur, and Rihanna. The pace at which the camo trend is picking is impressive, and we aren’t complaining – the military print is so versatile that it goes well with everything.
While you can certainly wear a full camo dress or camo pants, this is a remarkable print that works strikingly well in small doses, like on belts, handbags, purses, and even sneakers, as stated by LA’s Sanctuary brand.
Floral Prints
Although floral prints have always been in vogue, this year’s fashion collections and runway shows took the evergreen pattern to a whole new level. Blooming with bold, bright flowers and intricate designs, these pieces will add an extra edge to any look, whether you are rocking a blouse, dress, pants, or anything in between.
For this winter season, almost all sorts of floral prints attract attention, be they for their exciting texture, creative use of embroidery, enormous sizes, or lively colors. The trick when wearing floral prints is to pick something that will pay homage to the beauty of flowers and stand out from the crowd.
While retro florals are having a moment this winter, we think grandma and Paisley floral prints deserve the most attention. They are not only flattering and fashionable but also practical and versatile.
Zebra Print
There is something to say about zebra print that makes fashion designers go crazy for it. The animal print was all over the runway circuit, making notable appearances in Michael Kors and Bottega Veneta’s winter collections. This is also one of those trendy patterns that have filtered down to mid-tier and lower brands.
The zebra print has been extensively featured on wide-leg pants, knee-high boots, clutches, scarves, and dress shirts. It also looks great when paired with neutrals elsewhere for a truly stand-out outfit.
Artscape Prints
Florals and camo prints may be the clear winners this winter, but Artscape prints are having their small moments in a big way. This emerging trend is already lighting up Instagram and other social media platforms, and it is the sort of pattern that has the potential to be picked up by the trendsetters.
Artscape prints usually feature beautiful cityscapes, shades, and light backgrounds. The print often is featured jackets, winter dresses, blouses, and even leggings.
Nordic Patterns
There’s something about Nordic prints that reminds us of the holidays. It is Christmassy, jolly, and helps set the right mood for the merry-filled season. Often appearing in knit sweaters, cardigans, socks, and beanies, the pattern has actually been around for more than half a decade. These are the Holiday seasons’ most popular patterns.
You can wear these patterns with other winter-friendly patterns like checkered, camo, and darker floral prints. If you truly want to make your outfit pop, try combining bright colors or opt for dark colors on chromatic shades for maximum effect.
Leopard Print
Like the zebra print, leopard print is an ever-popular winter pattern that’s the talk of the town this season. From Arab Fashion Week to New York runways, the animal print is truly the ultimate in clothing patterns.
One of the leopard print draws is the versatility that comes with incorporating it into outfits. You can style it in so many ways, and you can wear the print anywhere from poolside parties to the office. It looks best paired with heeled knee-high boots and faux jackets.
Checkered Print
The checkerboard pattern is experiencing a major renaissance right now. And it’s appearing in shades beyond the classic white-and-black pattern. The traditional skater print sports checkerboard squares in denim, pick-and-choose pastels, and contrasting blues – just to mention a few.
Instagram pages and feeds are awash of fabulous Vans sneakers, tee, cardigans, dresses, and pants in this print. Although you can rock a full checkered shirt or pants, you may as well leverage the print on details like tote bags and belts.
Paisley
We have been witnessing a lot of retro-inspired paisley patterns blessing our timelines, and Instagram feeds this winter. Our absolute favorites are Paisley prints that reference the silhouettes of the 1970s.
You can never go wrong with wide-legged pants, pussy-bow tops, and flowy midi dresses if you want to wear the print. When it comes to styling, soft jewelry, structured handbags, and uggs will do the trick.
Polka Dots
The polka dot is another pattern that we absolutely adore on winter clothing items and accessories, especially on sweaters, blouses, shirts, and socks. It is a nostalgic print that exudes a ton of charm when appropriately paired.
This winter season, team your polka dot blouses and pants with overcoats and heeled knee-high boots. Although the pattern comes in a wide range of colors, you would better stick with classics like white & red, white & black, and white & blue.
All things considered, this winter people want to stand out more than ever before, and these are the patterns to do so.
