How to Wear Navajo Prints For Summer

Whether you're hoping to expand on this year's friendship bracelet trend or nostalgic for a good game of cowboys and Indians, one great way to feed your fancy is to invest in a few bold, colorful Navajo-print pieces. One of our favorite trends this season, the Native American-inspired look was shown on the runways by designers like LAMB, Proenza Schouler, and Isabel Marant — and satisfies our need to look cool, polished, and a little tribal. Balance the striking colors and prints with simple, solid separates and natural hair and makeup, to keep the look from veering too far into Pocahontas territory. Read to go West?
