Zigzag print shirts pulse with chevron and zigzag lines, from Missoni-style waves to sharp graphic chevrons. The pattern is energetic, modern and eye-catching.
The V-shapes draw the eye up and down, which flatters and elongates. Multicolor zigzags suit bold dressers; tonal zigzags are easier to wear. The rhythm of the pattern skims kindly.
Pair with solids in one of the zigzag colors for harmony. A chevron blouse with dark denim is modern casual; tonal zigzags can work for creative offices. Let the pattern’s energy set the outfit’s tone.
Shop printed shirts by considering where you will wear them: subtle prints like pinstripes and tonal patterns suit offices, while bold tropicals and graphics belong to weekends and vacations. Look at the reverse side of the fabric — quality prints penetrate the fibers rather than sitting plastically on top. Wash printed shirts inside out in cold water to keep colors vivid. When in doubt between two prints, choose the one whose colors already appear in your wardrobe; it will earn its keep.
