Tribal prints were all over the runway at many of the spring 2010 shows. It’s easy to go from chic to costume-y in this look-at-me print, however, so remember that less is more. If wearing a blouse in a tribal print, opt for a classic trouser pant or pencil skirt in a solid color to balance the look. Wearing a dress? Pair it with nude heels and instead of going all out on the accessories, choose a single statement piece like a cuff bracelet or earrings.
When incorporating runway trends into your everyday wardrobe, what works on the catwalk doesn’t necessarily translate well into real life. Editing yourself when putting together a stylin’ outfit is key.
