I have noticed a rising trend spanning multiple runway designers and retails stores lately, although I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it. Printed maxi dresses are fairly common but now we are seeing other ways of wearing head-to-toe print: rompers and tailored suits. Anytime I see a matching printed suit I can’t help but picture the fabulous elderly women I’ve seen at the grocery store, you know, the kind that wear leather driving gloves when they go into town. I’m not sure whether this printed pant-suit trend will catch on among my generation, but I’m kind of hoping it does. I want to be that little old lady wearing flamboyant, printed suits one day.
