One of our favorite checkered print versions comes from Alessandra Rich in the shape of an off-the-shoulder dress with flowers, emphasizing how beautiful checks are for spring! It's available at Moda. The key to making any print work for spring is to find pieces that have a lot of color and pattern, but not too much. If you wear something colorful or patterned, it can make any look your own without being overwhelming. Also useful are items with a high neckline or short sleeves. They help keep the focus on what matters most - the clothes themselves! Finally, if you want to go all out, prints work best when they're muted. So choose pieces in pastels or whites instead of reds, blacks, and greys. It will make everything feel fresh and new-like spring itself!
