How to Style Bold Prints for Curvier Figures in 2025
Because confidence is your most fashionable accessory.
If bold prints have been calling your name but you’ve shied away thinking they’re “too extra,” 2025 is your year to strut your stuff. Prints are louder, prouder, and scream inclusivity — and yes, they look fabulous on curvier figures.
From oversized florals to artsy abstracts and retro patterns making a dazzling comeback, bold prints can uplift your wardrobe and your confidence when styled just right.
Let’s dive into some easy, wearable tips for every body type.
1. Scale It Right
To rock bold prints, focus on print scale that flatters your body.
- Bigger prints can balance out curvier figures without overwhelming.
- Smaller prints shine if spaced out or set against a neutral backdrop.
Trust your instincts and try different styles — it’s all about how you feel in them.
2. Highlight or Play Down
Want to flaunt your waist, bust, or legs? Use bold prints to spotlight those areas.
- Printed tops like our Susan + solid bottoms = spotlight on your top half.
- Printed skirts like the Courtney or bottoms like the Animal Print flared leggings = flaunt those curves below the waist.
For jumpsuits or dresses, go for styles with defined waists or wrap designs similar to our Loxley — they help prints highlight your shape, not hide it.
3. Mix Bold with Basics
New to bold prints? Ease in with simple pairings try:
- A printed blouse with black wide-leg pants like the Sunset Nights
- A bold maxi skirt with a plain top like the Valerie
This approach lets the print shine without being “too loud.”
4. Fit Is Key, Not the Print
Regardless of the print’s boldness, fit is paramount. A great fit means the print complements you, not the other way around. Look for:
- Pieces that hug the waist or glide over your body
- Adjustable elements (wraps, ties, ruching)
- Structured shoulders or necklines that provide balance
Don’t hesitate to tailor printed pieces for that perfect fit.
5. Confidence Completes the Look
The ultimate secret? Confidence. Bold prints are all about personality, not size. If you love it, wear it. Add statement earrings, a killer bag, or your favourite lipstick. No more blending in with neutrals — it’s time to step up and stand out.
