A woodland print need not be twee
Staff writer Laura Silver on her Related 'deep in the woods' print dress.
The twee trend has pretty much ruined loads of things - vintage knits, ballet pumps (unless you're doing a Hepburn Capri-pant thing), to name but a couple, and I'll be damned if tweedom manages to take gin like it's trying to.
Whimsical prints, especially those of a rustic ilk, have also gone the way of Pinterest, but with this dress, Related does a good job of rescuing them. Nothing can be cute when it's body-con, even with a bit of pink thrown into the print.
So essentially, all your favourite twee things need, to come back into the realms of acceptability, is a slight grown-up touch.
Leather bunting, anyone?
