Patchwork has evolved, here are 20 new ways to wear the trend

There's no denying that summer is the best season for prints. Floral prints, bright tropical prints, paisley prints - they're all made for wearing in the sunshine, with a cocktail in hand and a carefree attitude to match. 

But this season it's not the question of which print to wear, but how to wear it. There are three different ways you can style your prints - matching co-ords (the same print on top, and the same on the bottom half), clashing prints (guaranteed to turn heads, works well if you're in the business of being photographed by street style photographers) or the easiest, one garment, multiple prints. It's essentially a reworking of patchwork, but with bold, graphic prints sitting next to unexpected prints like florals, and the key to making it work is the contrast - hard vs soft, colourful print against black. It's extremely easy to wear - denim, crisp white cotton all look great with the trend.
