Bold prints—florals, animal motifs, geometrics, statement abstracts—are more than a trend. They’re a powerful form of self-expression. Whether it’s a vibrant co-ord on a summer getaway or a statement blazer for brunch, bold prints radiate confidence and creativity. But to pull them off, fit is everything: a slightly off size can distort the pattern, shift the proportions, or make the piece unwearable.

How to Style Bold Prints with Fit You Can Trust

1. Statement Maxi Dresses & Kaftans

Flowing maxi dresses printed with oversized florals or tropical motifs look stunning when tailored just right—err on over-length if you’re tall, or tidy the hem if petite. Tellar helps you choose the right size to keep the print proportions balanced.

2. Printed Co‑ords & Matching Sets

Matching tops and bottoms in striking prints are easy to style—but only if the fit syncs. Tellar ensures your waist measurements match the crop top and skirt length—no awkward gaps, no tight seams.

3. Bold Trousers & Skirts

A-line skirts in polka dots or culottes in vibrant abstracts need accurate hip and waist sizing to maintain their silhouette. Use Tellar to ensure seams sit where they should—not riding up or sagging.

4. Statement Jackets & Outerwear

Printed blazers or trench coats (think oversized geometrics or animal prints) are best when shoulder seams align perfectly. Tellar helps you select the ideal size for structure and polish.

🔧 Why Precise Fit Matters with Bold Prints

  • Scale of print – Large-scale florals on petite frames may overwhelm if the garment is oversized. Conversely, tailored prints can look drab if too tight.

  • Fabric type – Stretch prints hug the body; woven prints need precise waist/hip measurements to avoid pulling.

  • Seam and print alignment – Chevrons, stripes or animal cores should line up at seams—proper sizing ensures patterns don’t shift or distort.

Tellar removes all guesswork. Input your measurements once, then check each brand—no returns, no wasted time.
