S/S ‘12 Trend: Paisley Printed Vintage Clothes
Paisley Printed Vintage Clothes
Last season was all about the 70s, with high street stores stocked full of midi skirts and pussy bow blouses. And our obsession with the decade that brought us flares doesn’t seem to have changed for Spring/Summer. The difference is, now 70s shapes have been replaced by 70s patterns. By next season, we’ll all be going crazy for paisley! But you needn’t wait until then; get ahead of the fashion pack and buy vintage clothes.
But stop right there, before you head down to your local vintage shop or scour the web, take a look at the Spring/Summer shows for some inspiration. Paisley was used by all of the top designers in a number of creative and inventive ways.
Both Matthew Williamson and Paul & Joe were on the same wave length with their boho designs and beautifully crafted maxi dresses. Stella McCartney and J W Anderson created paisley printed pyjama pieces. It remains to be seen whether wearing pyjamas outside of the house will catch on! But elsewhere Jil Sander’s paisley printed cotton day dresses were a much more wearable alternative. And Emilio Pucci created paisley pieces in a range of eye popping hues, from scarlet and pink to turquoise and lime. So when you’re searching for those vintage clothes look for eye catching colours.
Look out for vintage maxi dresses and bold paisley printed shirts. The best thing about buying vintage clothes is that you’re unlikely to be seen wearing the same outfit as anyone else. Most vintage retailers only stock one of each item due to the nature of sourcing vintage, making it easy to create a unique and stylish look. Try mixing new pieces from the high street with your vintage pieces for a modern twist, or try vintage accessories such as a paisley printed scarf for a more understated look. Just remember if you do opt for paisley printed vintage clothes next season, pair with minimal accessories to avoid pattern overload!
