Leopard print: Take cues from Roberto Cavalli and pair leopard print separates with shades of inky midnight blue for daywear.
Abstract: Impressionistic patterns are a good entry for those reluctant to experiment with wildly patterned prints. Look for unobtrusive tonal versions, such as this dress by Akris, that can be livened up with statement accessories.
Colour riot: For those unafraid to experiment, opt for vivid patterns in standout hues. Keep silhouettes simple like this Emilio Pucci column dress in order to avoid overcomplicating.
Modern Mod: Update nostalgic motifs by styling with striking block-coloured separates such as this retro turtleneck and marabou-trimmed skirt combo by Prada.
Op-Art: Optical illusion-style patterns are a jovial way to experiment with both colour and print. For the sartorially-brave, wear head-to-toe coordinates or select a blazer or tailored trouser and tone down with neutral separates

The spring/summer17 runways had plenty of prints on show. From dizzying op-art style patterns at Mary Katrantzou to retro-style florals at Prada and many more in between, we explore the ways to wear five of the most striking prints.
