Bananas

The French have a saying, jolie laid, to describe a woman who isn't classically pretty or beautiful but has an interesting face. This translates in English literally as "ugly beautiful," which is the best way I can describe summer's wild print trend.

Miuccia Prada was the first designers to go bananas and virtually spearheaded the wild-print trend. These banana prints from Topshop & Asos are super fun and totally affordable.

Grecian

Only Donatella Versace can get away with incorporating a Greek key motif with bold splashes of color.

Birds

Next year we will all probably look back on this trend and question our sanity, but for now I say partake in the fun via this Christopher Kane bird-print top!

Tribal

This print may be crazy, but this bag will be in style for years and years. Alexander McQueen always does pretty insane prints, so I love that this bag will not be so identifiable with this season—which means you can bust it out any time to give your outfit a little splash.

Citrus

Forego last year's floral sweetness and dress like a tart! (I kid, I kid.) Stella McCartney printed this summer's citrus trend on everything from bikinis to dresses. Pucker up to the look with this adorable tank from Asos.

Zigzags

I'm a huge Missoni fan and love the brand's zany zigzags, so I am very excited about this collaboration with Converse.

Floral

The halter style on this Milly dress is great for busty gals. If you really want to accentuate the waist add a contrasting solid belt.

Funky

These Aldo wedges are a safe way to take part in the trend, since they are a small part of your outfit but will still have a huge impact. Try this with denim shorts or capris and a solid top.
