How much colour is too much colour? Some people stray away from having too much colour on them, much less colourful prints, to avoid looking gaudy or distasteful. But this season’s colourful print dresses are not only fun, but chic and stylish as well. Here, we’ve picked out dresses with just the right amount of everything on them to add some vitality and spice your look.
Look extra chic in flared long sleeves while keeping cool in this dress made of airy, patterned silk and cotton weave. The splashes of solid colours against the white is a visual hybrid of outgoing and reserved.
Gently flared at the bottom, this short patterned satin dress is great for a girls night out, especially when paired with a pair of heels or boots.
This calf-length, straight cut dress is bursting with personality with its multi-directional stripes, block-colours and asymmetrical seam at the waist.
We’re loving the gathered seam at the front which playfully disrupts the otherwise vertical stripe print going on. Pair it with a straw handbag and cute boots and you’re ready to hit the streets.
This light polyester dress is the perfect blend of colour and patterned strips. The no-button V-neckline retains the femininity of the look and compensates for the boyish straight sides. This piece is great for days when you’re lazy but still want to look made up – just put on a pair of sneakers and you’re good to go.
What’s not to love about this elegant metallic dress with pleats that emphasise the vertical stripes? With its cinched elastic waist and bareback feature, it’s both fun and sexy.
This pastel dress is almost like an artwork that oozes grace and sophistication. It’s the perfect sweet, pretty and chic.
To encapsulate the designer’s perspective on surf culture, this dress daringly displays wave patterns that helps to disguise the fact that the dress is body-hugging and you just had too much dessert to eat.
