One Pattern, 11 Outfits: How I’m Wearing Kaleidoscope Print. Meet the print that got me out of my wardrobe rut and excited to get dressed. This January, I found myself in a place I’d hoped I’d never see again: a wardrobe rut. All my go-to outfits felt tired, and even the pieces I love most had lost their luster. The horror! I needed a dose of inspiration—and luckily, when our spring collection launched, my muse arrived in the form of a new print called kaleidoscope. I’m usually pretty picky about prints, but this one hit the mark for me. It’s floral-adjacent but abstract enough that it doesn’t feel too sweet; it’s eye-catching without being overpowering; and the knit itself is a floaty, stretchy dream. It also doesn’t hurt that it comes in four elegant, artfully designed silhouettes. Styling outfits with kaleidoscope print not only infused my wardrobe with a welcome pop of pattern; it also prompted me to create new ensembles using pieces I already owned. Below, find 11 ways to wear our latest print.

The Aisling Dress: Since living in Texas, I’ve struggled to find dresses that I can truly wear year round. There’s nothing wrong with having season-specific styles, but I get a sense of comfort from clothing I know I can turn to no matter the temperature. As soon as I tried on the Aisling dress, I knew I’d found my missing piece. The printed jersey knit felt ultra lightweight and cool against my skin, but the stretch and buttery smoothness made it cozy, too.

Plus, kaleidoscope print can read as vibrant and summery or moody and autumnal, depending on how you style it.

I knew I wanted to try kaleidoscope print with one of our Interweave jackets to see how the patterns got along—and I was so excited by how good they looked together!

The dress’s chic midi length and bold pattern balance out the “properness” of the Lilia jacket for an ensemble that’s classic, but also fun. What really tied this look together for me was the bright white shoes (my wedding shoes, incidentally, which I was excited to revive).

They bring out the lighter shades in both the jacket and the dress, making the whole outfit look fresh.
