Prints, florals, and stripes are in this spring!  Prints and florals may seem scary but if you match them with a solid colored short they can look great. Always try to get shorts that match one of the less prominent colors in the top to pull it out and give the outfit dimension.  Strips can sometimes look awful, if you are a little wide go for small horizontal strips or vertical stripes. If you are thin and think you can pull off the bigger horizontal strips then that's great, I say try it out and see if you like it. Also color blocking with bright colors like pinks and oranges look great. Maybe try a solid colored pant with a solid colored shirt and then accessorize to bring in any extra color you want.  This year in the Milan fashion week, a lot of the outfits displayed different ways you can wear these types of clothing and accessorize them.  This is a video of one of the Dolce and Gabbana fashion shows from that week.
