Pineapple Print
Pineapples are the international symbol of hospitality, so it makes perfect sense that this friendly pattern has ended up a seasonal favorite among the stylish set. It's welcoming, inclusive, and eye-catching, but if you ever feel that the motif is too strong, you can always tone it down with a white jacket.

Graphic Black and White
Black-and-white prints get a vibrant boost with abstract kaleidoscope-inspired shapes. Dress down the trippy pattern with a black t-shirt, or up the ante with another Summer trend: the fringe jacket.

Oversize Florals
Flowers for Summer are decidedly obvious, but what makes this pattern so special right now is the sheer size of them. You can't go wrong with massive perennials paired with jeans.

Stripes in Alternating Directions
With the continued popularity of contrasting patterns, black-and-white stripes have found a permanent place in many closets, consistently proving that they work well against solids, prints, and — if you dare — even more stripes.
