Naturalness, simple silhouettes, laconic forms are in fashion, and in the coming season the main highlight of exquisitely elegant or everyday universal clothing is print. Famous couturiers have already thought through the strategy to the smallest detail and presented all sorts of color combinations in their collections. Fashionable prints 2020 are an expression of bright colors, clarity of geometric lines, abstract motifs, blurry transitions and halftones, intricate floral and graphic patterns. A selection of photos will help you not to get lost in the magnificence of the pictures, create your own image and be on trend.
Floral print with a new look
The timeless floral print remained at the top of the fashion charts, but, compared to the last spring-summer season, it slightly changed its face. The main background has shifted to a dark palette. Black, brown, dark blue tones were preferred by Cucci, Calvin Klein, Burberry Prorsum, Victoria Beckham. Although some designers remained faithful to light shades - Tori Burch, Erdem, Alexander McQueen.
The division into realistic and abstract drawings is clearly visible. Slightly blurred compositions by Calvin Klein and Jason Wu are reminiscent of impressionist paintings. Dolce & Cabbana, Temperli London, Michael Kors offer to choose your favorite flower, as if picked from a meadow, and decorate your summer wardrobe with it.
Spring-summer geometry on fashion catwalks
Geometric prints are another traditional colorway. Checks and amazingly curved lines are still relevant in summer clothes. But nothing stands still, and the geometry on the fabric has also undergone changes.
The cage has become larger, more voluminous, and is located in different directions, like Victoria Beckham and Stella McCartney, which gives the models a certain amount of creativity. The old one is not forgotten either. Kind – Marc Jacobs.
Stripes along, across, diagonally - any direction and color combinations are acceptable. Particularly interesting are non-contrast solutions from Mara Hoffman, Emporio Arvani, Max Mara.
Optical illusions created by fancy lines make the silhouette slender and mysterious. Black and white compositions are used by Daks, JW Anderson, color ones by Jasper Conran.
Abstract prints: a journey within yourself or just beautiful dresses
If you are a creative person, and clothing is one of the ways to express yourself, decorate your hot spring-summer season with abstract prints. Both large and small drawings are relevant. And without going into the depths of philosophy, abstraction is original, fun and creative.
There is plenty to choose from: smooth patterns and clear graphics of Christopher Kane, futuristic black and white compositions of Loeve, Hawaiian vegetation of Rochas, small peas and floral patterns of Etro.
Images of animals are a bright feature of next summer
Animal motifs, in the form of the skins of cats and reptiles, are almost always present on the catwalks. But this time the designers went further and decorated women's clothing with images of the inhabitants of the African savannah.
Gucci prefers snakes, Valtntino prefers elephants in Indian style, Roberto Cavalli prefers lions in a contrasting image. And MM6 Martin Margiela was not content with the fauna of Africa and depicted the head of the winged horse Pegasus on the dress.
Fashionable geography and entertaining astrology
There is so much unknown and unknown in the world - long journeys, the secrets of human destinies. Gucci transferred an ancient map to fabric, Dolce & Gabbana - wonderful views of sunny Italy. Flying stars reveal their astrological secrets in Karen Walker's creations, and at Giamba they are softly combined with lace.
Tenderness and rich palette of marble stains
A variety of shades, tones and unexpected transitions combine in an interesting, relevant and incredibly beautiful marble print. Interesting solutions in this direction were presented by Giles, Valentino, Roberto Cavalli.
Models Emilio Pucci, Altuzarra, Pako Rabbane are decorated with soft halftones and patterns. Outfits from Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Prabal Gurung evoke the feeling that an artist’s light brush has been passed over them.
Let's read the newspaper, play with words
Fashionable newspaper and game prints are presented in the spring-summer 2020 season in all their originality and in great variety. Bright and monochrome, they can be formal and quite fun.
Ashish suggests wearing a T-shirt with images of internal organs, a contrasting outfit from Lanvin is replete with large inscriptions, calligraphic script covers a red Gucci dress, Dolce & Gabbana combined black flowing chiffon and catchy colored letters.
The designers have tried to cover all styles and trends, and all you have to do is choose a fashionable print that is close in spirit and conquer the whole world this coming summer.
The New Year is just around the corner, but fashionistas are already looking for spring and even summer new clothes. I suggest you find out what prints will be in fashion in the coming warm season. So, what will be fashionable in the spring and summer of 2016?
Crazy stripes
Crazy - because they are not just horizontal or vertical: stripes that are fashionable in the coming season go diagonally, overlap one another, and combine completely different colors. Cardigans, dresses, skirts – everything will be trendy with stripes. In addition, designers suggest combining, for example, a blouse and a skirt with different prints - but with stripes. True, in order to skillfully wear two different striped wardrobe items at the same time, you need to try - to study the shades for their compatibility, because in this case it’s easy to make a mistake.
The animal print has been trending for the third season in a row, and yet the designers still managed to squeeze something new out of this famous pattern. This season, not only drawings of animal skins or scales are relevant, but also images of them themselves. So it’s now fashionable to appear with a tiger’s face on a T-shirt or jumper, but to wear a dress where both images of a tiger and its fur are mixed is generally a hit!
Romance: flowers
Bright flowers layered on top of each other, combined with stripes and geometric shapes - this is what the doctor ordered for fashionistas in the spring and summer of 2016. Such delicate colors are suitable both for clothes that are close to the body (dresses, skirts, trousers, etc.) and for outerwear - trench coats and cardigans. Abstract flowers are not modest and restrained now - the buds have blossomed, large open flower heads alternate with small ones. In short, summer in all its glory! It’s great if the flowers are combined with lace or translucent fabrics – purple and silver shades are especially relevant.
The check has not gone out of fashion for almost three years - not a single fashion season has gone without it. However, in the coming spring it will change a little - it will be larger and more creative: it is fashionable to combine a check, for example, with lace in a pajama style, with various decorative elements - such as contrasting collars. It will also be good if in one outfit the cage changes its direction sharply on individual parts.
Abstraction
Abstract motifs made in different shades are another trend for the coming season. Black and white, bright multi-colored and monochrome versions of abstraction will be at the peak of popularity. Let your outfit look like it was made by an impressionist artist, and the black background of the product will be especially relevant.
Divorces
Sequins are another trend for the spring-summer 2016 season: delicate pastel colors and soft flowing lines without sharp corners are more relevant than ever.
Many Hawaiian people associate the style with the yellow-green-blue shirts with huge flowers worn throughout the former Soviet Union. For those who think Hawaii is all about these men's shirts and nothing else, it's time to learn something new: there are plenty of botanical (rather than floral) women's Hawaiian prints that are much calmer in tone.
We're used to star prints on clothing that feature the American flag. However, now the stars are not only that. Stars are, first of all... just a starry sky. Large and small, in different colors, in combination with other trends (such as broken lines, geometric shapes and combinations with lace) - all this will be relevant.
Various lines that dazzle the eyes can be not only black or white - colored options are also welcome. By the way, this print is perfect for women with an undefined waist or a small tummy - the print will hide these imperfections. Well, it wouldn’t be out of place to say that such an active print can only be complemented with monochromatic accessories.
Marble is one of the most interesting prints of the new season, and its appearance on the catwalks is not the most frequent occurrence. Fabrics with this print look rich and noble, and it can be used for dresses, sweaters, vests, skirts, and accessories.
This unusual print looks as if the artist began to paint a picture. Let the strokes go in different directions, and be either bright or, on the contrary, gentle. If you choose delicate shades of strokes, then make sure that the cut of the product is touching and feminine - a low collar line (so that the collarbones are exposed) or strapless dress models will help perfectly with this.
TO Every season, designers rack their brains over ideas for new styles and the revival of old ones, deciding which colors and fabrics will be relevant. But there is another aspect that makes the almighty world of fashion think. These are prints. It is incredibly difficult to create something original, think through dimensions, motifs and details. But designers always cope with their creative task, and we would like to present you with the latest fruits of their creativity, on the basis of which we have identified the key trends in the field of prints for the spring-summer 2016 season.
Trend 1. Abstract floral print
IN You will say that we see floral prints from season to season, but there is one “BUT”. This time they began to look very alive. The buds have blossomed on light fabrics of discreet colors (black, brown, burgundy). Basically, designers presented short dresses with abstract floristry, but there are also special options. For example, we were captivated by the luxurious flowy trousers from Calvin Klein.
Trend 2. Graphic marble
E These prints look, like the material that served as their basis, very luxurious. Marble patterns decorated trousers, accessories and magnificent maxi dresses in the collections of Valentino, Roberto Cavalli, Giles. Basic colors: cream, all shades of brown, soft pink.
Trend 3
M The inspiration of distant travels, be it to distant shores or even to the stars, penetrated into fashion houses and gave rise to original and dynamic images. Karen Walker, Giamba, Lacoste, chaotically scattered stars in rather daring and revealing outfits. But Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci worked out the images of cities in detail and even created real card dresses. If you are attracted to travel and long journeys, then this trend should perfectly suit your preferences.
Trend 4. Animals
E If previously prints imitating the skin and fur of animals (leopard spots, python scales) were popular, now the designers decided to depict the inhabitants of the wild world themselves on things. Lions, snakes, elephants, giraffes, horses - these are the main representatives of the current fashionable zoo.
Trend 5. Hawaii
U When you saw these outfits, you were probably surprised, because the phrase “Hawaiian print” brings up the idea of beach shorts and funny shirts. The designers decided to deliberately abstract from this, take the key elements of Hawaiian prints as a basis and somewhat represent them. The result is dresses that you would want to wear not to go to the beach to sunbathe, but to go for an evening walk along the sea coast.
Trend 6. Optical illusions
E that print may irritate the eye, may even have a strange psychological effect, but this is its incomprehensible charm - it will not go unnoticed, it will always attract attention. Basically, the illusion is created by lines writhing like snakes, as well as the use of two colors.
Trend 7. Psychedelic abstract prints
H Often types of art intertwine, borrow something from each other or mutually influence. This is how modern abstract painting influenced the spring-summer 2016 collections and formed a new trend in the field of print. It is a little similar to the previous plot, in that it creates a special psychological state in the person looking at it. Tom Ford, Maison Margiela, Christopher Kane and others turned to the theme of pictorial abstractions on clothing.
Trend 8. Paint spots
E that print looks as if the artist was tired of drawing perfect lines, depicting familiar landscapes, and he decided to simply wave his brush over the canvas, making chaotic strokes. This is how the hero of the film “1+1” Driss painted his “masterpiece”. Despite some chaos and abstraction, fabrics with such prints are fascinating, because beauty can be hidden in disorder.
Trend 9. Power is in the word
IN In the current autumn-winter season, bags with all kinds of inscriptions are very relevant, but in the coming spring-summer season the word will expand its boundaries, and the texts will cover dresses, tops, tunics and even trouser suits. This print can be a phrase with an interesting meaning, or it can be in the form of various words scattered across the fabric. It is important that fashion will become even more telling.
TO Tape, like stripes, is perhaps the print that will be present in every season. This time she became very colorful. The main feature of the season is that checkered items should be combined with wardrobe items decorated with other prints (floral, for example). And checkered clothes are increasingly ceasing to be part of a strict, noble style; they have become friends with sporty chic and feel great with denim shorts.

Cool
Summer is a great time for fashion experiments, bright colors and a variety of prints. Famous designers work hard on the last point every season. It is especially difficult to imagine the summer season without prints. After all, it is during the hot season that we think of sensual floral prints or classic stripes or checks. But besides these popular prints, fashion houses also offered new ideas. For example, what do you think of the new print that has exploded on the catwalks this season - “tie-dye”? Or maybe you prefer the romantic watercolors that decorated the looks in the collections of Chanel, Dolce&Gabbana and Prabal Gurung? Or have your imagination been captured by optical patterns? Even if you haven’t looked closely at summer prints yet, it has already become clear that this summer season 2016 there is plenty to choose from. Now let's take a closer look at fashionable prints in the spring-summer collections of famous designers.
Floral prints
Floral prints have not left the imagination of designers for several seasons in a row. The summer season is dominated by femininity and tenderness, which means that floral patterns once again have a dominant place in collections. Moreover, floral prints “bloomed” so much on the catwalk that fashion critics had to divide them into as many as four directions. The first and most unusual are abstract flowers. In second place are small floral prints, evoking rural romance. The next floral theme is large prints. And finally, the designers suggest paying attention to realistic floral prints.
Abstract flowers
Floral abstractions were presented on the catwalk by the fashion houses Jason Wu, Mary Katrantzou and Burberry Prorsum. In the Jason Wu collection you can see bright poppies, blurred into a colorful abstraction. And the designers of the fashion houses Burberry Prorsum and Calvin Klein, on the contrary, focused on a neutral palette close to dark shades.

Small flowers
Small floral prints remind us of romance and youth. Perhaps that is why designers use a similar print for romantic light floor-length dresses. For inspiration, you should pay attention to the collections of Alexander McQueen, Erdem and Marissa Webb.

Large flowers
You should be careful with large prints; unfortunately, they are not suitable for every figure. But in any case, such prints always attract attention and look elegant. This fact is proven by the collections of Mara Hoffman, Kate Spade, Alice+Olivia and others.

Realistic flowers
It seems that these floral prints are about to begin to smell, they are depicted so realistically. Similar prints can be found in the collections of Dolce&Gabbana, Temperley London and Michael Kors.

Striped print
Another hit of any summer season is a striped print. It can be safely called one of the most popular, it appeared in the new collections of Ralph Lauren, Mara Hoffman, Salvatore Ferragamo, Christian Dior, Emporio Armani, and this list can be continued for a very long time. The most popular color stripe. Striped print is used in different styles, for example, in the Ralph Lauren collection, stripes decorate beautiful dresses in evening style, and in Max Mara, large stripes are ideal for the smart casual trend.

Gingham cage
This plaid print was at the peak of its popularity in the 50s. It was associated with youth, romance and freedom. Now this is one of the current retro prints. In the summer collections, designers combined the gingham check with a modern cut, and not a trace remained of retro romance.

Hawaiian print
This is a truly summer print, inspired by the tranquil nature of the Hawaiian Islands. The Rochas and Paul & Joe collections combine Hawaiian prints with beautiful summer sunset hues. And in the collections of Guy Aroch and Giambattista Valli, grassy colors are used.

Geographic prints
This summer the fashion houses Gucci and Dolce&Gabbana gave us an unusual new print. Handwritten maps and beautiful landscapes now have a place not only in frames on the walls.

Watercolor
Beautiful watercolor strokes of the brush decorated images in the collections of Dolce&Gabbana, Chanel, Prabal Gurung. Watercolor prints will not leave creative people indifferent. And in terms of color intensity they can compete with any floral pattern.

Fonts
Another unusual print for the summer season is fonts on clothes. In the Gucci collection you can see beautiful calligraphic handwriting, which encircled the entire image like an ornament. The fashion brand Loewe decided not to be shy and printed the brand name on the clothes from head to toe. And in the Lanvin collection, the print reminds us of contemporary urban graffiti art.

Optical prints
These prints are based on optical illusions: black and white contrasts, repeating lines, diamond patterns. It's hard to take your eyes off clothes with such a print. Op art this season inspired the fashion houses of Daks, Dries Van Noten and J.W. Anderson.
Our imagination is constantly amazed by the latest trends in the fashion world. Therefore, in order to be ready for the new season, any girl must be able to adapt, know what will be relevant and what needs to be put aside.

Original color solutions do not leave the catwalks, but, on the contrary, appear in new interesting images. According to leading fashion designers, the most popular is the combination of one print with another. If you think that an ensemble of two or three drawings is unacceptable, then you are deeply mistaken.
What do designers offer in 2016?
- Throughout last season, calm shades predominated in the models, and the same trend continued in the collections of this year. Thanks to this, designers are able to create original, fashionable and relevant images. At the new shows, real masterpieces made precisely in this color scheme were demonstrated. A new successful solution for this year is the transfer of various photographs to clothing. In their collections, famous couturiers actively used materials of different textures and colors on which they printed portraits and landscapes. This print is perfect for business girls as casual wear, as it harmonizes perfectly with business style.
- Prints in the form of flowers are a big favorite of many fashionistas. That is why it has remained at the peak of popularity for several years in a row. In 2016 he also took first place. Fabric strewn with flowers that vary in shape, size and color can emphasize the femininity and uniqueness of the image. There are a variety of combinations: small and large patterns complement each other perfectly. An ensemble made up of a large number of small flowers will add detail to the image, making it look more complete.
- Most designers this season decided to give their preference to animalism, which most clearly emphasizes femininity and feline grace. A style that, according to leading experts, is very fashionable is prints in clothes 2016, which in many cases cannot be imagined without hot animal images. Animals such as the tiger, zebra and snake have retained their popularity. Having given your preference to such ornaments, you will continue to amaze others throughout the current season.
- Patterns made in ethnic, graphic, and abstract styles are also characteristic of many New Year collections. Such bold decisions will appeal to bright and romantic girls. The shades of the ornaments can be any: bright and rich, or gray and black. This season, compared to the previous one, designers used fabrics of rich and intense shades to create their models. They did not leave a single fashionista unattended, but when choosing an outfit you need to start from your own preferences, as well as the characteristics of your figure.
- Plaid is still considered fashionable. This year, designers only changed the size and color palette, the bright combinations of which are considered very relevant in our time. By experimenting with materials of different textures, fashion designers have created many interesting variations.
- Designers also do not change the polka dot print, as it has been popular among the weaker half of humanity for many years. This is confirmed by its presence in almost any type of clothing: trousers, hats, jackets, sweaters and even stockings. Things with a similar pattern are in perfect harmony with each other. The main thing is not to forget the basic rule - the color of the fabric and the size of the pattern can be different, but the peas themselves must correspond to the same tone.
- Girls who love to be the center of attention will certainly love the outfits offered by designers with star prints. This pattern appeared back in 2008, but at that time only a few people adopted it. Despite this, in the new season of 2016, popular fashion houses presented clothes with a star in their collections. Desperate fashionistas will certainly appreciate such “star” outfits.
To summarize, it should be noted that prints and decor in clothing will perform an important task in the 2016 season. They will dilute the boring monotony of products thanks to the combination of various ornaments in a single image. A huge selection of models will allow you to choose the thing that really suits you. If you don’t like the classics, you can choose bright and daring models.
