Whenever a new year begins, a fresh crop of flash-in-the-pan trends makes their presence known on social media and it can be hard to determine which ones are worth investing in for the long haul. With April arriving, I think it’s safe to say that 2021’s top trends have been decided, so we can now splurge away. Gingham, checkerboard and more have solidified themselves as the top print trends of the year—and I have a good feeling they’re here to stay.
If I know anything for certain, it’s that minimalism is officially out of style. We want big, bright patterns and tons of color! Gone are the days when I would get by wearing a pair of neutral trousers, a basic t-shirt and a pair of white sneakers. If you’ve taken one scroll through TikTok in the past few weeks, you’d see that color (and lots of it) reigns supreme.
It’s all about prints in 2021—and I’ve got you covered when it comes to which ones you should be trying out right now, as well as the best ways to wear them. I’m talking everything from silky button-downs decked out in wild ’70s-inspired prints to a sweet-as-hell midi dress in shades of lime and black gingham.
And of course, I can’t forget the patchwork trend that makes everything in your closet look like you had a hand in DIYing it, nor the checkerboard trend that reminds me of that one summer when all I listened to was Blink-182. This year’s print trends have range, people! Options run the sartorial gamut, so I can promise that you’ll love at least one of these patterns—even if they’re all a little bit out of your comfort zone at first glance.
Read on to shop a few of the biggest pattern trends of 2021 (so far) and shop ’em all, too.

Patched Up
If the last year has taught us anything about fashion, it’s that sometimes, DIY is the move. Legions of users on TikTok have taken to chopping up their closets and flipping their old items into a slew of new, fun pieces. If you lack that level of skill, don’t worry—you can still look like you’ve mastered the trend courtesy of these patchwork pieces.

Checked Out
Damn, The Queen’s Gambit looks really different here. Checkerboard prints are the new stripes—that’s how popular they’ve become. Trying wearing a basic black-and-white option or give something a little more colorful a try, like a neon cardigan. The options (and colorways) are nearly endless. And yes, even your old checkerboard Vans are cool again.

Whether you like them big or small, you’ll have no trouble finding a version of this adorable little flower that you’ll want to wear day in and day out.

You will look like the cutest picnic blanket ever in one of this spring’s gingham pieces—and I mean that in the best possible way!
