{"heading" :" Summer has always been linked to rebirth, vibrancy and colour. We are finally letting go of the wintery, neutral tones, for brighter, more vivid and colourful pieces. It’s time to start looking at lightweight dresses, linen shirts, palazzo trousers, shoes and bags featuring a thousand different patterns and motifs. Are you ready to dive into a kaleidoscope of colours and shades this sunny season?
For Summer 2022, a famous pattern from the 70’s has made a comeback, one which has inspired designers all over the world thanks to its blend of textures and fabrics. You guessed it; we're talking about Patchwork. Engineered Garments has made it the star of their collection, featuring it in two cotton shirts, in brown, white and beige: one being a more colourful option and the other being more neutral. In addition to EG, Beams Plus also has an option for those who love colourful urban style with a vintage vibe: their Long-Sleeved Patchwork Cotton Shirt, accentuated by its contrasting warm and cold tones.

Another pleasant comeback this Summer is Camouflage. This iconic pattern, along with its casual and edgy style, is great to spice up any outfit. Inspired by British workwear, Garbstore has come out with a matching camouflage jacket and pair of shorts, both very practical and comfortable. Not only that, but K-Way has also made camouflage the focus of its summer collection making it available in three different styles: a parka, a bucket hat and a pair of cargo pants, all of which are made from ripstop nylon. Ideal for those who love hiking and walking in the outdoors, making them the perfect attire to protect against rain and humidity.
While Patchwork and Camouflage have resurfaced for Summer 2022, there is one pattern that has never left its place as a Spring/ Summer staple: stripes! Sporty, casual, but also chic and elegant, stripes are an absolute must have in every summer wardrobe. As a versatile pattern, it’s found on almost every piece of clothing. Barbour and Nanamica offer short and long sleeve navy striped T-shirts, while A.P.C., Garbstore and EG reinterpret stripes in a more contemporary way. Aodress have also chosen stripes as the focus of their collection, mixing them up in different widths and colours, bringing about a fresh and unique look.

Let’s not stop there, these three patterns are also accompanied by colourful and fun prints, just like on Anntian's blouses and dresses, perfect for those looking for an original and quirky look. As well as this, floral print, which comes in all shapes and sizes, is back again this year. You’ll find this summery pattern in A.P.C.’s collection of light skirts and blouses in warm and bright tones. Sea New York, on the other hand, has beautiful midi dresses whose eccentric flair complement its refined and elegant design. This colourful symphony of patterns and motifs is matched with its light and breathable fabrics: linen, cotton and Indian Madras. The vibrancy of madras is expressed both by B.D. Baggies, with its long-sleeved American style shirts, and by Injiri with its uniquely beautiful and elegant dresses. The Indian madras is also seen in Baracuta, which offers a patchwork version of the iconic G4.

Lastly, all you have to do is choose the right accessory to complete your outfit!

As well as this, Clarks presents its Trek Mule in cow print, which are elegant and snazzy at the same time. For your afternoon strolls in the city or by the sea, Needles proposes a shopping bag with an all-over butterfly print, the brand's iconic logo, giving off classic and elegant vibes. For those who want to try a more out there and fun look, En Shalla bags are an absolute must.
