These Prints Are No Prediction — Everyone Will Be Wearing Them in 2018

Mixing and matching your plaids, contrasting big checks with small, is where it's at. There will be no such thing as tartan overload, but instead, a push to come up with the coolest combination on the block.

Your favorite childhood print is back in a big way, and it will travel through 2018 in all different iterations. You can shop standard black and white polka dots that are round and perfect in shape, or opt for blurry, pixelated takes on the pattern.

Whether they're plastered on your utilitarian jumpsuit or mixed and matched with separates, graphic shapes in kaleidoscopic patterns should be kept on rotation. It's perhaps the most fun way to get inventive with your look when stripes don't stand out enough.

Power suits that feature bold pinstripes or blazers loud enough to scream "boss lady" are how you should be wearing the print in 2018. Striped, tailored coordinates rarely go out of style, but interesting colorways and oversize silhouettes with exaggerated shoulders are a welcome change.
