How to Wear Aztec and Tribal-Inspired Prints This

How to Wear Aztec and Tribal-Inspired Prints This Fall

Lately, it’s been impossible to walk into the mall without being completely bombarded with tribal and Aztec-inspired prints — and I’m not just talking about throw blankets or ponchos. From accessories to sweaters, dresses to tights, there is nothing that you can’t find in these prints. Tribal print dresses in the summer are a no-brainer, but I’m LOVING that this print is transitioning to cooler weather clothes as well. Bold prints like these give winter ensembles a rustic vibe that reminds me of log cabins, curling up by the fireplace, and sipping hot chocolate.

As with any other trend, it can take a while to get a firm grasp on the proper way to style it. Here at CF, we believe that fashion rules are made to be broken — but wandering around in the dark or depending on runway models for guidance can be a little difficult.

On board with the trend, but need a little style inspiration? Not to worry, CF is to the rescue!

Tips and Tricks for Rocking Aztec and Tribal-Inspired Prints
  • Practice moderation. Tribal motifs look awesome alone or with one other loudly printed piece. However it’s important to wear them moderately (and respectfully), by not pairing them with moccasins, feather earrings, a fringe vest, and/or a turquoise statement necklace.
  • Mix prints. Maybe I’m crazy, but I’ve seen tons of fashion bloggers mix tribal motifs with plaids and stripes and I think it looks AMAZING! Keep the rest of your outfit simple to avoid an overload.
  • Look to the streets. Street style blogs have been featuring this look for years now. Blogs like Lookbook and the Sartorialist are two great places to scope out for inspiration.
  • Wear them with boots. Accentual the rustic vibe of these prints by pairing them with combat, leather, or Sherpa boots.
  • Add texture. Aztec-inspired and tribal prints look amazing with (faux) fur, leather, and suede.
  • Accesorize. As with any other trend, try this look out by sampling a scarf or bag in a tribal print to see if it works for your style. I recently purchased a tribal print scarf from Forever 21 and I absolutely love it — it’s large enough to double as a blanket at chilly football games, or wrap around myself and belt.
