The Aztec Print

The hottest style for patterns this year is undoubtedly the tribal theme. Last year, we saw an infusion of African-inspired prints hit the runways and major stores. This trend has trickled down to the masses and evolved-somewhat appropriately-for 2012 to feature Aztec and estern designs.

When wearing a tribal print, your look is instantly trendy. These fashion-forward pieces give you street-style flair with a cultured edge. This look stirs up dreams of far-off lands and ancient civilizations. Incorporating a few statement patterns will add a new dimension to your fashion sense.

Key characteristics of tribal prints include bold geometrical shapes, daring color combos, and a mix of patterns and lines. The colors can range from bright neons to dusty earth tones, depending on your taste. This trend looks great paired with denim, and combining it with solid colors can anchor the look. Donning natural accessories, like leather and feathers, will build on the bohemian traveler theme. Silver accents with a touch of turquoise can especially accentuate the South American feel of this trend. This look calls for simple sandals by day and boots or statement platforms by night.

Currently, these fearless prints are dominating all realms of apparel. From skirts and dresses to leggings and shoes, this is one style that continues to grow. Some women are even sporting tribal and geometrical prints as chic nail art.

If you decide to go tribal with your next outfit, remember to invest in pieces that you'll actually wear. Follow your instincts. Some fashionistas will be able to pull off outrageous looks and still look stunning(@Momestar) - but if classic is more your taste, opt for something timeless like a black and white skirt. Or add an attractive dress with a simple chevron pattern and try it out on the weekend. This isn't a look that you'll want to show off daily.

Wearing a tribal print signifies that you're in vogue and demonstrates that you have fun with fashion. Don't over-think it by focusing on more than one piece at a time. Consider buying some Aztec jewelry or a geometric print clutch if wearing the clothing seems like too much for you at first. A little can go a long way with this trend, so have fun with it!
