SYBIANNA | HOUSTON | MODEL, PHOTOGRAPHER AND PAINTER | THE DREAMER

Tank:Vintage|Nala Jungle Print Skirt:Vintage Byer|Boots:Vintage

Always understated in style, Sybianna pairs a great graphic skirt with a heather grey tank. The cognac boots we saw earlier in her tenure on See Your Style make another appearance to great effect.

ILANKA | ROTTERDAM | FASHION BLOGGER | FASHIONNERDIC

Blazer:New Look|Top:H+M|Skirt:H+M|Booties:Asos

Ilanka bumps up her neutrals with a striking graphic print. When wearing something that undoubtedly will catch the eye, make sure there are no competing elements elsewhere in the outfit.

SIMONE | BROOKLYN | FOUNDER OF STANTON + WILLIAMS STYLE THERAPY/BLOGGER

Cardigan:Alexander Wang|Top:Martin Margiela|Pants:Vintage|Sandals:Pierre Hardy|Bag:Louis Vuitton|Necklace:Vintage

This evening in Brooklyn the temps were a little too cool for shorts and far too warm for a coat. The Style Therapy/SYS remedy for a transitional weather? Light layers.

IRIS | THE NETHERLANDS | FASHION STUDENT | FASHION ZEN

Jacket:Zara|Leggings:H+M|Boots:Zara

Like Shannon did in one of yesterday's posts, Iris adds a medley of hues (in the form of leggings) to a cool-weather outfit. Staying warm doesn't mean resorting to the sleeping bag jacket.

MARLA | JOGJAKARTA | STUDENT |VERSICLE

Cardigan:Zara|Dress:Bought at local store in Jogjakarta|Booties:Bought at store in Bandung|Bag:Vintage|Belt:Vintage

Marla's entire palette is quiet and neutral, but she's beautifully incorporated prints (in the dress) and texture (in the beaded bag and suede booties).

NINI | DALLAS | FASHION CONSULTANT+BLOGGER | NINI'S STYLE

Tunic:Junya Watanabe|Leggings:Balenciaga|Faux Fur Jacket:ABS|Booties:Fendi|Sunglasses:Super|Gloves:Barneys

Nini does a wild print in a ladylike silhouette. While keeping the rest of her outfit balanced and equal in ebony, she allows her print to shine!

AURELIA| PARIS | MEDIA |FASHION IS A PLAYGROUND

Cardigan:Urban Outfitters|Dress:Zara|Sandals:Zara|Bow:Made by Aurélia |Bag:Zara|Socks:H+M

This feline print has proven to be one of the most popular features on SYS. Iris wore the dress with her own self-made collar and Alice cleverly used it as a top with high-waisted shorts. Above, Aurélia pairs the dress with a blooming bow-tie she made herself. What all three ladies did was take a Miu Miu-inspired dress that has become a Zara bestseller and made it their own with personal details.

ALICE | KRAKOW | BLOGGER | ALICE POINT

Parka:Reserved|Top:H+M|Skirt:H+M|Wedges:Queen's Wardrobe|Bag:Zara

Floral is a given in the spring. If you don't want to look like a walking botanical garden, take a page out of Alice's book and balance it out with neutral pieces and accessories with an edge.

NINI | DALLAS | FASHION CONSULTANT+BLOGGER | NINI'S STYLE

Romper:Vintage|Bag:Lanvin|Wedges:Yves Saint Laurent|Necklace:Vintage|Bracelet:Vintage

Nini is pretty in prints with this superb-for-summer romper. She's kept the colors of her accessories neutral, making the floral pattern radiate even more.

GISELLE | UK | FASHION RETAIL MGR |STYLE OF A FASHIONISTA

Blouse:Ronit Zilkha|Skirt:River Island|Boots:Topshop|Necklace:Miss Selfridge

If you're not game for a literal animal print, opt to take a walk on the mild wild side by wearing a print in muted colors, like Giselle.

NICOLE | AUSTRALIA | VINTAGE BOUTIQUE OWNER
| GARY PEPPER VINTAGE

Blazer:Vintage|Lace Blouse:Vintage|Scarf:Vintage|Loafers:Vintage|Bag:Mulberry

Like Iris below, Nicole's outfit also has military-inspired details. Here it's in the brass buttons. But to wear the trend from head-to-toe would require a dishonorable discharge, so Nicole adds a playful leopard print and heeled loafers.

EMMA | SYDNEY | VINTAGE COLLECTOR + STORE OWNER | SPIN DIZZY FALL

Top:Vintage|Shorts:Lucky 13|Tights:Purchased on eBay| Booties:Vintage|Bag:Vintage

Emma, SYS' Queen of Casual, adds some pop (with dots) to her outfit by wearing a pair of textured tights.


NINI | DALLAS | FASHION CONSULTANT+BLOGGER | NINI'S STYLE

Top:Forever 21|Skirt:Erdem|Pumps:Yves Saint Laurent|Necklace:Janis Savitt

If you think you've seen this skirt before, you're not having a bad case of déjà vu. Fellow SYS mainstay Sarah wore it on Easter Sunday in New York, while Nini puts it to work for a wedding in Vietnam. Great sartorial minds think alike!

SHANNON| MINNEAPOLIS | ROCKET SCIENTIST | DIRTY HAIR HALO

Tank:Forever 21|Pants:Thrifted|Belt:Thrifted

Nothing adds texture to an outfit like actual tapestry pants! Shannon stumbled across these at her local Savers—which goes to show that it pays to be thrifty.

ISA | FLORENCE | STUDENT | 7 HEURES DU MAT

Blouse:Vintage (Mother's)|Skirt:Vintage (Mother's)|Belt:Vintage (Grandmother's)|(Head) Scarf:Vintage|Heels:Fornarina

Isa executes vintage in the loveliest way because her pieces were handed down from her mother and grandmother. Pre-loved clothes can often evoke the spirit of the original owner. When you're blessed enough to own pieces from loved ones, the clothing becomes even more beautiful.

IRIS | THE NETHERLANDS | FASHION STUDENT | FASHION ZEN

Blazer:River Island|Blouse:H+M|Skirt:H+M|Heels:H+M

See Your Style mainstay Iris neutralizes brilliant, bold hues with sweet, blanched out accessories. Quieter tones make vivid colors even more luminous.

SHANNON| MINNEAPOLIS | ROCKET SCIENTIST | DIRTY HAIR HALO

Blouse:Thrifted|Leggings: Forever 21|Ankle Strap Heels:Forever 21

It takes a rocket scientist like Shannon to rock bold, out of this world floral patterns. The secret to wearing prints with prints is to keep scale and color family in mind.

ALICE

Blazer:Zara|Dress Worn as Top:Zara|Shorts:H+M|Booties:Jeffrey Campbell|Rings:H+M

Alice is all about the felidae. This posh Pole subtly mixes two distinctly different cat compositions to great effect. What better way to do this than with an outline of an actual cat and the pattern his fur?

IRIS | THE NETHERLANDS | FASHION STUDENT | FASHION ZEN

Dress:Zara|Collar:Self-made|Clogs:JC

Iris takes a fabulous feline print and adds her own self-made collar for an even more lovely effect. See alternate images of this dress.
