Patterns with Tribal or Aztec flair are new and happening this spring. Here’s 5 reasons we love them and why you may too.

1. They’re bright: Vivid colors are in this spring, and while you’ll find  a few tribal prints in more neutral tones most are in strong solid hues or bright, unusual color combinations that add a burst of life to your appearance.2. They are Exotic: We love cool ethnic vibe these patterns communicate. Whether they’re the focus of a dress, bracelet or whatever, they’re fun, mysterious and exciting.

3. They Camouflage the Problem Spots: The tunic or loose blouse  is a perfect style to complement these exotic patterns and colors, and what better way to camouflage a midlife waist or tummy? Just be sure to wear any blousy top with skinny or slim fitting pants. A  wide pant paired with a wide bottom doesn’t work.

4. They are Comfy: Speaking of  looser silhouettes another advantage, of course, is comfort. These ethnic tops are loose without being baggy, and also lightweight and breezy.

5. They Draw the Eye Up: Tribal and Ethnic patterned clothing is being shown with lots of embellishment like beads and sequins, especially around the neckline. What a wonderful way to draw the eye up towards the face, or in the case of sandals, highlight your legs, and who doesn’t like a bit of bling.
