Avoid turning heads for the wrong reasons and wear prints by the pool the cool way. These are the prints to adopt this season.
It’s the season for backyard braais, beach picnics and, of course, pool parties. And nothing shouts #summerswag quite like a great outfit to match. So it’s time to dive in, donning nothing but the season’s must-have prints.

ANIMAL PRINT
We’ve never seen an animal print we didn’t like. A departure from the expected palm print, animal print is the new summer neutral that you can pair with almost anything.

TROPICAL PRINTS
The warmer weather calls for brighter pops of colour and bold prints. Team a tropical printed shirt with a pair of brightly coloured shorts for for a seriously hot poolside look.
CLASHING PRINTS
The print-on-print trend is sticking around this summer and the key to pulling off the look is to go for big, bold and bright clashing prints – think tropical patterns paired with tie-dye details or striking stripes.

SHIRTLESS
Been working hard at the gym and want to show off your results? There is nothing wrong with letting the shorts do all the talking by going shirtless. Add a fedora and sunnies for good measure, and you’re as fit (pun intended) for the pool as ever.

SHORTS AND A GOLFER
Dip into more formal territory by teaming your shorts with a timeless golfer. Keep the rest of your outfit minimal and simple with solid colours. It’s the perfect ensemble to keep in your back pocket for when you need a polished look in a rush.
