6 Celebs Show us How to Try Bold Prints This Spring
When it comes to spring prints (and nail art and ice cream toppings), we've got a mantra: "Go big, or go home!" Tropical motifs and bright colors are synonymous with warm-weather dressing, but this season our favorite stars have been stepping up their style game with bigger, bolder prints. Click through to see how they're wearing the trend, and get inspired to work it into your own look.

Shorts and blazers have emerged as one of the season’s most versatile looks. A full suit in a matching print may seem a little intimidating—but in fitted proportions it’s a cinch to pull off. Plus, both pieces become wardrobe staples when worn separately—don’t you just love when your clothes do the multitasking for you? Zendaya shows us how it’s done with a crisp, white shirt and covetable heels.

Crop top, maxi-length, peplum ruffle: Bella’s red carpet outfit has three major trends going on! While the head-to-toe poppy print makes a statement on its own, it also pulls all of these elements together for a whimsically glamorous look.

To work a killer print into a low-key look, pick one part of your outfit to rock a standout pattern and pair with solid, coordinating colors. AnnaSophia’s bright yellow tank and red carryall complement the shades of her blazer, rather than overpower it.

While we saw the pajamas-as-daywear trend burst onto the scene last year, Selena proves that it’s still going strong. Seriously, how cute are those floral pants? Paired with her sheer, graphic tee featuring an oversize version of the same print, her overall look is fresh, unexpected, and impossibly chic.

While layered patterns and unconventional color-blocking are certainly not for the faint of heart, this is a take on the trend that’s worth trying. The key is to keep accessories and makeup understated—we love how Julianne’s sleek bob and white, pointy pumps let the dress do all the talking.

We’re loving this red carpet take on a shirt-dress. The cap sleeves, Peter Pan collar, and simple white belt are all vintage-inspired touches that are synonymous with the summer staple, but the floor-length skirt and large-scale print are undeniably current.
