Try a pleated dress
For an easy, chic way to incorporate the trend, try a pleated maxi dress. The slinky cami top is very noticeable, and the pleated skirt gives it an unexpected texture and movement, making it flattering. For chilly evenings, add a neutral-toned cardigan over it.

A button-down is super chic
Ditch the basic white button-down and go for this delicate pink paisley shirt. Tuck one side into the waistline of your jeans for a chic twist on a timeless look that can work at the office and out at night.

Make a statement in cropped trousers
There is something so elegant about a pair of cropped, wide-leg trousers in a classic print. Vivid paisley designs blanket the entire piece, so this is a good opportunity to mix and match. Paisley pants pair surprisingly well with a variety of tops. Try a solid color option, or experiment with contrasting patterns of different sizes, like tiny polka dots, on top.

A classic tank is always a good start
When it comes to sleeveless, the answer is always a squared neckline. This top features a belted waistline that will flatter your silhouette, and the vibrant print means you can wear this with jeans, trousers, or even a pencil skirt.
