Ever since Missoni whipped up a sold-out and much coveted collection for Target, everyone has been mad for zigzag. The pointy, eye-catching pattern was seen all over the fall runways from Proenza Schouler’s velvet dresses to Marc by Marc’s mod 70’s designs. The trendy zigzag fashions are inspired by Native American textiles. And, though they may have Navajo roots, most zagged pieces set a retro tone, like this stripped zigzag maxi ($43.99) from Macy’s. When paired with platform wedges ($80) from Aldo, they’ll swear you’ve raided Twiggy’s closet!
Key to weaving this print into your wardrobe: Pick one color in the pattern, and pair it with a solid garment in that tone. Here’s how to add some zig to your zag:
Pair these fun taupe and black hot shorts ($17.80) with a solid black top ($7.80) both found at Forever 21. If you missed out on Target’s Missoni collection, no need to pay top dollar on eBay. Pick up these look-alike styles for less: a smocked sweater dress ($22.80) at Forever 21, and cross-body bag ($50) at Aldo.
For those who prefer a low key approach, shop for a subtly-shaded design like this Lucky Brand cardigan ($129.99) from Macy’s.
However and wherever you decide to zigzag, don’t be shy—this flame print is on fire!
