1. Balance It Out

2. Make Your Print Pop

What is summer without loud and colourful prints? Your summer look can be sorted very easily with a printed maxi like Alia Bhatt's. Just do not go overboard by adding endless colours to your look.

Pro tip: Choose a well-proportioned dress that shows off one feature and keeps the bold pattern from being overwhelming.

3. Go All-Out Bright

With summer around the block, our love for pretty prints and bright colours is here. Hina Khan's tropical printed dress is a perfect choice for stealing the limelight. The flowy silhouette will make you ready for summer outings in no time. We love how her sunglasses and hat add the right finish to her look.

Pro tip: Be brave and add vibrant accessories in colours that complement the print.

4. Make It Versatile

Mixing two different prints is something that comes to mind when you think of print-on-print fashion. But what about wearing similar pattern outfits? Mixing similar prints can give you a different look. Dia Mirza's maxi dress with cut-out feature gave a subtle edge to this overall look and we are in for it.

Pro tip: When wearing an unconventional pattern, go glamorous with statement-making touches like earrings that accentuate a flashy pattern.

5. Tone It Down

Animal prints are all the rage and the more we see it, the more we want to grab chic outfits and nail this trend. Take cues from Kiara Advani dressed in a leopard prints in vivid red and black. A statement-making accessory would be an embellished belt cinched at the waist to help break the monotony of her head-to-toe print.

Pro tip: Tame the wild vibe of animal print with sophisticated accessories.
