There seems to be something invariably more masculine about Fall prints than in the Springtime. This patchwork mash-up of traditional menswear motifs is the perfect example of that notion. Staying within a limited color palette and keeping your print elements small will allow for maximum harmony in this mixed print trend.

Although there are different ways of interpreting [and naming] this trend, you can’t deny that it’s out there. I am quite fond of the term foulard, although I’m not sure it covers the whole breadth of the style. It’s part scarf, part menswear, and has a strong cross-over with the geometric styling of Islamic patterns. I love seeing how these designers have incorporated such a classic element into their spring collections.
