A geometric print in blue is cleaner and more contemporary than florals without sacrificing any of the visual interest. Stripes or abstract shapes or color blocking all read as intentional rather than decorative which means they work for both weekends and work weeks. The geometric structure also means the pattern actually helps create the illusion of a better-proportioned silhouette in a way that random prints just cannot match. We look for versions where the contrast between the blue base and the printed elements is strong enough that the pattern actually reads from across a room. These are the geometric printed blue dresses that dress up easily and work just as well worn completely casual.
