The trending prints to wear instead of florals this summer
By now, florals are practically synonymous with summer dressing. But like The Devil Wears Prada's Miranda Priestly once said, florals aren't exactly 'groundbreaking'. Advertisement View this post on Instagram A post shared by Boden (@boden) If you're sick of wearing plain white or ditsy florals and want something less predictable – gingham, polka dots and unusual stripes are big patterns to sport this summer. But what's the best way to style them? British designers share their secrets on how you can revive retro prints and wear them well. Gingham This Fifties-inspired classic always returns in warm weather, but gingham can walk a fine line between being classic and twee. The trick is knowing where that line is . 'Gingham is such a timeless summer staple,' says fashion designer and podcaster Amanda Wakeley OBE, 'but to keep it chic rather than childlike is pretty tough. Advertisement View this post on Instagram A post shared by Laura Doyle (@doylediary) 'Silhouettes need to be sleeker and stay away from a plethora of ruffles.' She recommends a streamlined top, balanced with grown-up accessories that elevate rather than embellish. Softer fabrics can definitely help shift the tone when it comes to gingham, as Aspiga' s founder Lucy Macnamara notes, 'gingham can feel nostalgic, but the key to keeping it grown-up is all in the silhouette and styling. Look for organic cotton or linen blends in tailored shapes – shirt dresses, wrap blouses, wide-leg trousers.' (Zara/PA) Zara Gingham Check Top (H&M/PA) H&M Linen-blend Tailored Trousers (Stradivarius/PA) Stradivarius Set of Two Rigid Bracelets Retro vintage Nostalgic prints are a tricky one – as they can either feel cool and timeless or totally outdated. While the Eighties has made a comeback this year, the Mario Buatta-inspired chintz hasn't quite re-entered fashion. This season the runway has taken inspiration from the Seventies and Eighties rock scene, with animal prints in the form of snake, tiger and cow dominating collections. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maria Frazao (@mariaffrazao) 'Personally, I love a striking animal print or bold retro,' says Wakeley. 'I have a soft spot for Seventies-inspired motifs – they remind me of my travels in Kenya and India,' says Macnamara.

(H&M/PA) H&M Brown/Tortoiseshell-patterned Sunglasses (And Other Stories/PA) & Other Stories Cow-Print Leather Tote (Tu Clothing/PA) Tu Clothing Buttermilk Tailored Linen Blend Co-ord Waistcoat Polka dots Returning this year as a firm favourite is the polka dot. Loved by the Princess of Wales, last year this playful print dominated the high street with Pretty Woman-inspired mocha dresses.

'I adore them in monochrome palettes,' says Wakeley, who favours a dark navy or ivory as a base, 'in either medium-sized or small dots is really sophisticated. Advertisement View this post on Instagram A post shared by Caroline Cook (@carolinesstylehacks) '[They] work particularly well printed on chiffons and lightweight fabrics which can be cut with volume and movement which adds an element of romance.' Macnamara is drawn to understated tones too, 'to keep them elegant, I prefer a smaller, scattered dot on a neutral background like cream, navy or soft chocolate,' she says. 'A silk blouse or wrap dress in a mini-dot print can feel playful without being overpowering.' If you're looking for something more daring, the experts suggest picking fabric or colour when it comes to this print – not both – to avoid looking too gaudy. (River Island/PA) River Island White Sleeveless Polka Dot Mesh Top (Nobody's Child/PA) Nobody's Child White Polka Dot Linen-blend Tasmin Midi Dress Bayadere and organic stripes Stripes never really go away, but this summer, they've loosened up.

'There's a wonderful androgyny about wearing stripes – they're striking, eye-catching, but timeless.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nic & Liv | Dopamine Dressing + Colourful Living (@novasistas) While the Nineties bayadere stripe is making a comeback, 'We're also seeing more relaxed, irregular hand-drawn stripes which I love for a more artisanal, effortless feel,' says Macnamara. 'The key is to go for colours that lift your skin tone and keep the rest of your look clean and simple.' (Anthropologie/PA) Anthropologie Oversized Stripe Hair Scrunchie (Oliver Bonas/PA) Oliver Bonas White Lobster Graphic T-shirt (Damson Madder/PA) Damson Madder Chlo Trousers – Red Stripe The most flattering prints The question of what is 'flattering' often crops up when it comes to prints. While you should wear whichever print you feel best in, some can work better than others. 'Paisleys tend to flatter all shapes,' says Wakeley, 'I'd steer clear of overly large, bold prints if you're feeling body-conscious. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Daughters of India (@daughtersofindia) 'Smaller-scale prints can create movement and elongation.' Macnamara agrees, saying that 'they draw the eye without overwhelming the frame. Placement is also important – prints concentrated at the hem or sleeve can be really flattering.' (Aspiga/PA) Aspiga Aurelia Organic Cotton Block Print Dress How to print clash The resurgence of Seventies-style print clashing can be very cool, but definitely requires a certain level of conviction. 'This is a 'more is more' trend,' says Wakeley. 'There are no rules – so have fun and just go for it.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nic & Liv | Dopamine Dressing + Colourful Living (@novasistas) But if you want a slightly more strategic approach, Macnamara says 'the trick is to keep the colour palette consistent. 'Soft terracotta, blush, sand […] play with scale – pair a bold, larger print with a finer, more delicate one.' For the uninitiated, she suggests starting small: 'A printed blouse with a patterned scarf or headband can be a subtle way in.'

Man who pays £1,400 a month to live in one of London's smallest flat in millionaire neighbourhood reveals what the one problem is - and it's NOT the size
A Londoner who pays £1,400 a month to live in the smallest flat in a millionaire neighbourhood has laid bare the true issue with his home. Cesar Mendez, 47, lives in a 11.7 square-metre former janitor's cupboard, yet despite its tiny size, its lavish Kensington location means its worth around £250,000. The lodger says his miniscule flat warrants splashing out £1,400 a month due to its close locale to the Natural History Museum and regular sightings of the Royal Family. And although the 'amazing' flat offers little to no room, the Tenerife native is adamant that it is the perfect size for him, but there is one issue. Revealing the true problem with his humble abode, Mr Cesar shared that it becomes difficult to keep tidy, and a lack of washing machine also proves to be a challenge. Boasting of the pros, he said: 'The location is incredible - but there are pros and cons - there's no washing machine so I have to take my clothes to get washed. 'For me it's fine. I'm not very tall, so it's OK. The only problem is you have to keep it clean all the time. If it's not tidy, there's no space and you go crazy.' He quipped: 'Have you seen any other flat under 12 square metres? If I had a girlfriend, we would fight all the time because it's such a small place.' Despite the downside, Mr Mendez shared there are several advantages that outweigh his cleaning difficulties. The avid runner, who has participated in 100 marathons across seven continents for Water Aid, said his flat's proximity to Hyde Park was a major plus. He added that, due to its centrality in the capital, he regularly sees members of the Royal Family driving past, escorted by police motorcades. 'Having Hyde Park five minutes away from the flat is amazing,' Mr Mendez continued. 'I work in Mayfair, too, and it takes me 10 to 15 minutes to cycle to work. 'I have seen King Charles, Prince William and Queen Camilla around the area.. Police stop the cars for them to go through. 'I see them a lot - maybe once every two weeks. 'My neighbours are really nice; some of them are Chinese and some other neighbours are Italian - I think there's eight flats in the whole building.' The flat was recently put up for sale with a guide price of £230,000, due to its desirable location, and is now under offer from a prospective buyer. He also revealed, due to its centrality in the capital, he regularly sees members of the Royal Family driving past, escorted by police motorcades Even though it is due to be sold in the coming weeks by estate agents Purplebricks, Mr Mendez hopes to continue living in the beloved flat. Nick Minns, who is selling the flat that used to belong to his mother, harbours fond memories of the flat himself from when he lived in the tiny space for six months. He said he once even had a party - but held the main festivities in the hallway and used the property as a 'booze cupboard'. On another occasion he had a tall friend stay over and says he had a limb 'in every part of the flat'. 'We had a party on the stairwell once,' Mr Minns explained. 'The flat was just the booze cupboard. 'We had a friend stay over and he had a different body part in every room.' Nick Gaunt, a Local Property Partner at Purplebricks, admitted it was 'unusual' to have a property at a guide price of £230,000 in the area. 'To find any property, however small, with such a prestigious postcode and at this price is very unusual,' he said. 'As such, we're not surprised that it has got snapped up very quickly, especially given its location, investors are likely to see beyond its square meterage and to the fact it makes a smart investment for any buyer.'
