The Pretty Spring Print Trends Brit Girls Are Really Invested In

Sponsor Content Created With Oasis

While the beginning of any new season brings the cathartic notion of reset with it, never before has a fresh start been more necessary than it is now. And with spring but mere days away, we reckon that our wardrobes are a perfect place to focus this positive energy. While joggers and leggings have served us well over the last year, we’ve decided that anything we choose to add to our rails from here on out should fill us with joy. Handily, there’s one place that has a plethora of pieces of such ilk. 

Oasis is known across the land for creating the prettiest prints in the land, and it certainly hasn’t disappointed us with its latest collection, Style for Every Moment. Born out of our growing want and need to feel connected to the world around us, Oasis invites the outside in with its nature-inspired springtime edit. Designed to make every moment (no matter how tedious it may seem) feel special, its array of beautiful motifs, set against feather-light fabrications, are guaranteed to boost your mood and make you feel significantly more put together than you have done of late.

As you’d expect for spring, there are florals, but that’s no bad thing. There are bold blooms set against contrasting palettes to striking effect, as well as ditsy petals that climb their way from tiered skirts to high, Victoriana necklines. Then things take a retro turn with paisleys painted in rich sepia tones, while ever-classic monochrome polka dots present a pared-back alternative for the minimalists amongst us. Throw in an updated, more elevated take on leopard spots, and Oasis has ticked off every printed trend of note this season. It turns out we’re not the only ones impressed by Oasis’s spring lineup, as it has caught the eye of some of our favourite influencers, too. 

Each with different sartorial identities, Eni Ilori, Holly Rebecca White, and Pascale Banks prove that you’re guaranteed to find an Oasis print to suit you, whatever your aesthetic may be. So much so, they’ve each spotlighted key items from the new-season collection to style up across a five-day period to see just how versatile the prints can be. The outcome? Let’s just say its incredibly chic. Scroll below to see how they’ve styled their favourite pieces from the Style for Every Moment capsule, read what they love about them most, and then start formulating your wish list accordingly.

"My advice for when it comes to wearing prints is, don’t be afraid to go wild. Clashing florals and leopard is definitely okay and can really make your look stand out.”

"When it comes to styling an outfit, I always like to link the colours of the clothing with my accessories. With this look, I made sure I picked out a pair of orange boots and a cream bag to tie in with the colours of the dress.”

"When it comes to patterns, I always gravitate towards ’70s-style florals—they are so fun to work with. My go-to pairings for retro prints always include gold earrings and the addition of some brown boots.”

"Polka dots are a classic print that work for every season. Come spring, I love to accentuate white polka dots with some statement earrings and a white textured bag. I love the way it creates a really put-together look with everything tying in together.”

"I’m a neutral lover through and through, but I do love to incorporate fun patterns, too. I really love paisley print, which is, again, so fun and ’70s. It’s a great piece to pair with a neutral skirt and weaved earrings—they really make the pattern pop!”
