This zigzag wax print is one of those ones that initially looks like it may be difficult to work with. With such a bold geometric design, you might not be able to imagine what it would look like as a finished garment. This does not seem to have fazed Suzanne! This is the first time I have seen this fabric made up and it is really quite clever.
We maintain that skirts are great way to wear wax prints. Not only do they hold the shape of many types of skirts beautifully, they are also easy to wear with block colours and incorporate into your existing wardrobe. Suzanne has paired her skirt with a basic white T, narrow orange waist belt and blue espadrille wedges. Now that sounds fab.
The skirt has pockets in it too, which gives it a lovely casual feel and the high waistband makes me stand tall!
Thank you very much for sharing your creativity with us. Hope some else is inspired to go bold.
