The Only Prints That Matter This Summer
As someone who doesn’t veer into the world of prints, patterns, or even colors very often, when I do, I like to make it count. After all, if I’m going to buy into something outside my general wheelhouse of jeans and white T-shirts, it better be worth it. If you’re reading this and nodding because you’re exactly like me, or even if you’re the complete opposite but still care to know what the season’s biggest print trends are, I advise you to keep reading.
Today I’ve rounded up the only five print trends that matter this summer, complete with styling suggestions and, of course, shopping picks—because why else would one come to Who What Wear? From the stripe of the animal print world to the highly specific florals you should be paying attention to right now, just keep scrolling to see what made the cut.
1. Fruits (& Veggies)
The whimsical print comes in all shapes, forms, and foods, and we're into it.
2. Soft Florals
What makes a floral print soft? Think lighter colors, less-defined shapes, and white backdrops.
3. Tie-Dye
But you already knew this, didn't you.
4. Zebra
The stripe of animal prints is a top contender for summer's biggest trend overall, with even Kendall Jenner approving it.
5. Bold Tropicals
On the opposite side of the spectrum from soft florals, we have the go-big-or-go-home option: tropicals.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
