All kinds of fashion accessories

Every season, there are a few prints that become popular trends. This season was no exception with animal prints everywhere. And while prints are great to add personality to an outfit, many women fear wearing printed clothing, fearing they look clownish and that patterns can add visual pounds. A great way to perk up a plain dress for work is to add print in a shoe, a scarf or handbag. Think of a solid dress for work as a blank canvas. By changing the accessories, you can change the whole look and feel of the same item. Adding animal print keeps this dress looking modern and relevant for the coming season with ladylike, sexy and slightly retro looks. This print looks great with kitten heels, framed bags and pearls. Be careful though — never pile on too much of the same print or it's just like wearing the trend head to toe! Keep it simple by choosing one or two pieces (they don't have to match exactly, just be in the same family) and add in a neutral piece to offset them.

Another big print trend this season was plaid. This is another great print to add to a work outfit — especially the menswear style — if you want something a bit more conservative and less girly. Try it with platforms and a wider leg trouser.
