10 Ways to Wear Square Prints Trending Now

After a successful Fashion Week in Paris, we went as far scouting what’s trending now; and we noticed the squares were everywhere.

The rise of the chess-inspired look began in Paris Fashion Week, when Raf Simons’ first ready-to-wear show for Dior was staged in a giant white cube built especially for the occasion that featured a series of interconnecting white rooms linked by square windows.
This was followed up with Louis Vuitton’s presentation, where paired-up models in squares-clad ensembles descended down the escalators and stepped onto a giant checkerboard catwalk in white and yellow.[via HelloFashion]

 

That  being said, the nod to the 60’s continues with mod-inspired square shape patterns.  Geometric prints are a chic option if you want to make a statement and add some variety to your look.  There are a couple of options when it comes to pairing geo-shape patterns.[via Styleblazer]

Go Bold: Pattern on pattern is a more elevated fashion statement, and whilst it can be incredibly chic, it is not for the faint of heart.  Mixing prints takes it a step further, and as with any other look in fashion, the key here is balance.  Pair a smaller print with a larger similar print, and don’t be afraid to add color.  This really depends on how much of a statement you want to make.

Go Minimal: Combining the zeitgeist of both 60’s mod and 90’s minimalism is a safer option to pull of square patterns.  You can anchor a solid shirt with square pattern pants, or play up plain bottoms with a square print blazer.  Metallic accessories are a great addition to toned down square patterns as well.
