Spring Summer 2022 Prints Trends: The Only Prints That Matter For SS22

I’m a self-confessed prints lover, so you can bet that if there’s a pattern trending for the season I’ll know about it.

While there’s something classic about neutrals, block colours and basics, I have an incomparable love for prints. More is more, if you ask me.

Gingham, checks, tie-dye, marble – you name it, I’ve worn it. So when it came to doing my research for the new season ahead, it barely felt like work.

While dopamine dressing is huge for spring summer 2022, so too are poppy prints. Some you may have noticed patterns like logos, which have been huge throughout winter, and animal prints, which are just timeless.

Wavy prints are a new addition to the most popular patterns however, and they’re so wearable.

Let’s delve further into the prints that matter for spring summer 2022 and how you can embrace them now.
