It’s raining outside now and how! If you’re stuck indoors most of the time, you need some cheering up. Speaking Chic brings some fun prints to excite you in this gloomy weather.
Nature-inspired prints
Bright leaves, butterflies and peacocks… indoors or outdoors, wear nature on your sleeve.

Graphic prints
Still bang-on-trend, abstract or otherwise. We love these in colours that pop.

How to wear prints
If you think you might end up looking like a fancy teapot or a mural with prints, here’s some tips for wearing prints from Kanika Kapoor, a fashionista associated with Emilio Pucci (a brand known for its prints).
- It’s not difficult to carry off prints, though you need to complement the prints or tone down the print with plain colour footwear. And oh, avoid over-accessorizing.
- At present I’m really into accessorising what I wear with printed scarves and shawls. Also, I like “printed” shoes with a plain dress or relaxed day wear.
- You can also tie a printed scarf around your bag to add a touch of print to your attire.
