đ A little history
Patterned shirts became popular in the 1960s with the explosion of Hawaiian-inspired floral prints. They were then reinterpreted by punk, grunge, and streetwear trends. Today, they are no longer associated with a single style. They are just as common in business casual wear as they are in summer and winter wardrobes.
đ This season's star prints
Stripes revisited
Always present, they are becoming more creative: multicolored, asymmetrical, unstructured. Their strength? They elongate the silhouette and are just as suitable for the office as they are for a night out on the town.
The bold tiles
From subtle gingham to bold, updated tartans, plaid shirts are making a strong comeback. Layered over a white T-shirt or worn buttoned up with slim-fit pants, they balance out athletic builds.
Micro-patterns
Polka dots, minimalist geometrics, abstract symbols... Discreet yet refined, they appeal to those who appreciate subtlety. Perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to a professional look.
Bold florals
Inspired by resort wear, they are now making their way into the city. Paired with light-colored chinos or linen pants, they become chic and modern.
