Patterns always make for the most fun looks, in my maximal-dressing opinion. But they are admittedly harder to wear and style. There are evergreen patterns like leopard, florals, plaid, stripes, and polka dots, but these get trendy updates season after season. For 2023, some of your favorite patterns have evolved, and I’ve pulled the best of these for your maximalist shopping pleasure.
Designers update these mainstay patterns for collections, and spring/summer 2023 was no exception. Some of the prints I saw on the runways were tropical florals, colorful checkers, and rainbow stripes among others. These vibrant prints are always a playful closet addition, even if you wear them more minimally with basics. Ahead, I’ve picked the top prints for 2023 and the best items to shop them now
