Fabulous Prints for the Seasons

Either R, Light Spring. Boxy never crosses our mind. This feels more like bits of paper floating in a breeze.

YangR, any Spring. When a garment is this 'amazing, fantastic, omg' as Rachel said, one doesn't quibble too much about colour. Every Spring has plenty of outfit possibility. Even on a Light, there is not enough black to steal our attention from the beauty.

YinR, True and Bright Spring. Dark Autumn came to mind but the product photos from buyers look more Spring.

YinR, Bright Seasons.

YinR, True and Bright Spring. Lovely to see a Spring print with a warm background, rather than white.

YinC, Bright Spring

YinG, Bright Spring.Also Black for all Winter, Cabin Blue for True and Bright Winter, Mallard for True Summer, Grey Blocks unsure, and Navy Blocks for True and Dark Autumn.

YinG, Bright Spring.

YinG, True Spring. Also in Night Combo for Soft Autumn.

YinG, Bright Spring.

YinD, Bright Seasons.

YinD, Bright Seasons.

YinC, Bright Spring. Some Winter influence is needed to bring the black petals in to the print, but too much takes over the delicate pinks in the flowers.

YangN, the rare intersection between True Autumn and Bright Spring. Seasons have more complex reach and relationship with many Seasons besides their immediate neighbours.

YangC, Bright Spring, also in Navy Tweed for Dark Winter.

YinN, an example of where Bright Spring and Dark Winter can intersect. Both have many outfit options.

YinN, so beautiful, Light Spring or Soft Autumn can create lovely outfits, Spring aiming for a lighter final look than Autumn.

YangN, Bright Spring and Bright Winter.

YinR, True Summer. That clean laundry feeling.

YinR, Soft Summer. So pretty and easy to shorten.

YinR, beautiful swirls of Light Summer colours, with excellent and effective use of the burgundy neutral.

YangR, Soft Summer.

YinG, Soft Summer or Dark Winter. The waistband is closer to Winter, showing the muting effect of prints whose elements are small enough to blur together at social distances.

Ying, Soft Summer. Nice with the boots.

YinG, Soft Summer.

YinG, True Summer.

YinG, Soft Summer.

YinG, True Summer, True Winter. A Summer might wear a pink or aqua top. A Winter in white or a more contrasting colour (note that the shoes are not muting the skirt). Compare also how icy this looks with the blue YinG skirt nearby.

YinG, Soft Summer.

YinG, True or Soft Summer.

YangG, True and Soft Summer.

YangG, Light Summer (and Bright Winter for the white, which works with the clutch, the print being fine with room to saturate further).

YinD, True and Soft Summer.

YinC, Soft Summer. An example of a print whose component colours may be Winter but in a small scale print or weave, the final effect comes from an average.

YinC, any Summer.

YinC, True or Dark Winter.

YinC, True Summer. May need to be shortened.

Diagonals are usually associated with Spring, but the repetition and symmetry, use of a traditional colour scheme, and small print elements work better in Summer.

YinN, True Summer and True Winter, both of whom have coolness and moderate darkness in common.

YinN, Light Summer.

Blur element of Su prints, merge together from a distance.

YinN, Soft Summer and Dark Winter. On a border with Dark Autumn also, depending on the top.

YinN, good casual outfit options for any Summer with her right T-shirt. The small orange accent is easy to integrate in Natural effects.

YinN, Soft Summer.

More modern and abstract, yet quite appropriate for Soft Summer's Patron of the Art Gallery.

YangN, Soft Summer.

YangN, Light Summer. Also in Gunmetal for Dark Winter.

YangD, Dark Autumn.

YinN, Soft and True Autumn.

YinN, the Dark Seasons.

YinN, the Dark Seasons.

YinN, Soft Autumn.

YinN, no easy match for Season and still a pretty skirt. The very muted earth background may be causing the colours to appear brighter than they are. We could approach this as, "who would not wear it?" True and Light Summer, the 3 Springs, and Bright and True Winter.

YangN, Dark Autumn.

YangN, both Dark Seasons.

YangN, Soft and True Autumn.

YinR, Dark Winter. Notice that the colours are slightly more muted than next door. Bright Spring could make outfits here as well.

YangR, Dark Winter.

YangR, Dark Winter and possibly Soft Summer.

YangR, Bright Winter.

YinR, Dark Winter. Dark Autumn almost worked, but comparing the lemongrass to the centre of the flowers, you will see the difference, the greens in the skirt being too clear and lime.

YangR, absolutely amazing print for True and Bright Winter, reminding of the thorns and vines around Aurora's castle - the danger of Winter in a floral print.

YangR, Dark Winter.

Either C, any Winter. How amazing and wonderful is this skirt? Rachel called it "looking prepared for every occasion", a Classic hallmark.

YangG, any Winter.

YangG, Dark Winter or True Summer. The red will be strong on Summer, but this is Gamine. A rebel vibe is expected and normal. We might miss it if it were absent.

YangG, True Winter or Dark Winter. The brightness of Bright Winter colours might fade the skirt into looking Summer-y.

YinG, Bright Spring. This skirt appears up in the Spring section also. As with Pinterest boards, we can't predict exactly how colours will work together, we have to try it. I find it more pleasing in Spring. Another might like it better here. This is the level where it does not matter any more and it's up to the woman herself.

YinG, True Winter, or at this level of wit, any Winter.

YangG, Dark Winter. Beautiful lining and use of the lighter, warmer reds in the palette.

YangG, True Winter.

YangG, Dark Winter. A nice coral.

YangG, True Winter. With those shoes.

YinG, Dark or True Winter.

YinG, True or Bright Winter, though it may need shortening. Possibly for YinN but the shape is stiff.

YinG, True Winter. The acidic yellow-green of the flowers is dominant and belongs in True Winter.

YinG, True or Dark Winter.

YinG or YinN, Dark Winter or Soft Summer.

YangG, any Winter.

YangG, Dark Winter.

YangG, Dark Winter. Gamines specialize in bringing opposites together. The contrast is Winter, the background more Summer. A print will generally harmonize with the most intense colour, as will the rest of the outfit or wardrobe.

YangD, any Winter. The Winter greys have little obvious colour till they are held next to greys of other Seasons.

YangC, in Blue Biscuit for Dark Winter, Blue Black Mint and Aqua Mint Yellow for True and Bright Winter.
