Closet Must-Have: Prints, Patterns and Popovers

Closet Must-Have: Prints, Patterns and Popovers

Every season we see a plethora of multi-colored prints and patterns in various clothing pieces. Checks, logos, flowers, leaves, animal prints, and so on. No matter what the design, we all love a good print and enthralling patterns to mix and match with our plain-colored clothes.

Prints or patterns add life to clothing so invest in nice ones that will enhance your outfit. We recommend an easy-to-wear popover that can be worn at any time of the day and on multiple occasions. They can also be wardrobe staples that will last for years to come.

At Steinmart, we have plenty of clothing choices with beautiful prints and patterns that you can choose from. Take a look at some of those we’ve selected for you. 

Go Crazy With Prints

Lilac Shirred Off Shoulder Mini Dress

A print can be singular or in multiples. It can be abstract like splotches of colors, or organic like flowers or leaves. It can be hand painted, printed, stamped, embroidered, and so on. Prints are like an add-on to plain clothing to give it more visual interest.

Look For Patterns

Patterns, on the other hand, are a repetition of a certain print. What usually falls under patterns are geometric shapes like lines or stripes, circles or polka dots, rectangles or plaid, and so on. Normally, patterns cover the entire fabric. It’s always good to have a certain set of patterned clothing in your closet so you can mix and match them with your basics and staples once in a while.
