Usually, when choosing a fabric for sewing, we immediately pay attention to its color and print. Yes, of course, it is necessary to take into account both the density of the fabric and the texture, based on what kind of product we are going to sew. And yet, first we focus on patterns and color palette.
Therefore, let's see what prints on clothes the designers preferred in their collections spring-summer 2024, and which of them managed to win the championship at the shows of the warm season. Among the popular fashionable prints were:
Strip in spring-summer 2024
The striped print was seen in many collections for spring-summer 2024. Yes, the stripes are different, but most designers preferred a thin, one might say, modest strip. But bright and unexpected combinations of different colors also met, because this is an ideal option for the summer.

The designers of Duro Olowu are enthusiastically considering striped prints. In the collection, they use both colored stripes in a chaotic arrangement and stripes in combination with other prints. The striped print suits all women, regardless of age and shape. However, in each case, this print should be selected carefully. The striped Duro Olowu print helps you choose the right fit.
The collection is bright and cheerful.

Classic horizontal stripes in black and white are not canceled, unless for curvy women of fashion do not use them. For such women, a vertical striped print is the best choice.

Cage and cage on fashionable clothes
The plaid is slightly inferior to the striped print. These two prints are a must in every season, but one of them tends to be inferior to the other.
Some women are wary of a plaid print, thinking that such a product will make them look fat. In this case, you need to choose the right cage, and also use fabric for either the top or bottom. And there is also an option - cut along the oblique. This cut makes many fabrics more pliable, and the rotated pattern acquires plasticity and becomes less strict.

In the new season, the cage is found in small sizes, including in the form of a checkerboard and Vichy cage.

Floral prints in spring-summer collections
Usually, in a floral print, many expect to see brightness, a riot of bloom and saturation of shades. But this is not always the case. In the new season of 2024, designers most of all liked small flowers, collected in bouquets. They do not have that color, but in many collections they turned out to be affectionate and delicate. If you think that flowers should be bright, and maybe also large, then go to the collections of Marchesa, Tadashi Shoji, Andrew Gn.

There is another type of floral print - watercolor, when bright inflorescences seem to blur in watercolors. Look at the Marchesa Notte models, maybe this is what you wanted to see on yourself this summer?

Abstraction
Abstract prints remain popular in the fashion world, however, their popularity is unlikely to fade. If today, for example, some abstract drawings are attracted, then tomorrow we will see several others. You can ponder and ponder over them as much as you like - what did the artist want to tell. And designers also know that abstract print is a mystery that you want to solve. What mysteries will we see in clothes in the new season?

Op art
Op art is the art of visual illusions created by geometric shapes in a plane or space. Repetitive shapes on the fabric create the effect of movement, and we perceive images depending on the characteristics of our vision and thinking.
For this print, the designers chose contrasting colors of repeating elements, including circles, rhombuses, wavy lines and other geometric shapes. Most brands show understated prints in op-art style.

Combined print
Designers combine everything with each other, including prints on one canvas: stripes, predatory motifs, peas, check and many other patterns. This idea is so interesting and exciting that from season to season, every time we see something unusual, and almost always bright.
For example, in the Dolce & Gabbana collection, more than a dozen different prints are combined in one set, and it looks like a patchwork. For those who love brightness, richness of juicy shades, this collection promises to fulfill your desires.

Similar ideas are often found in the collections of Anna Sui, they appeared in the new season at both Tom Ford and Versace.

Tropical print spring / summer 2024
A tropical print for the summer is sure to be the perfect solution. Whether it's flora or fauna, all the same, such interesting drawings will take their rightful place on beach sets.

Despite the fact that the designers worked in self-isolation, they had enough original ideas and fantasies. After all, those prints that we have listed are far from all.
For example, summer cannot be without fantasies on nautical themes, and here you should contact the Versace collection directly. The brand's designers opted for fun and vibrant prints that tell funny stories taking place at the bottom of the ocean.

But Naeem Khan remained faithful to the animal print, although other designers joined them, who believe that "wild" patterns inspired by the color of the leopard, tiger and other felines should definitely adorn the summer outfits of the most daring girls.

The designers have not forgotten the shawl print either. A beautiful scarf has always been a decoration on a woman's head. So why shouldn't he be on a skirt, dress, tunic?

Long, floor-length dresses with tiered gathers will look great with paisley ornaments. This print is so sonorous that it doesn't require intricate cuts. And the floral print on the fabric can be supplemented or even replaced with beaded flowers, but this idea will already belong to the luxurious evening version. And there are many such original models in the Naeem Khan collection.

I must say that the designers put a lot of work into creating original things, and we just have to choose our ideal model. After all, summer should be bright and, most importantly, happy!
