Paisley Perfection

Paisley’s swirling teardrops feel just as at home on a breezy July day as they do against the first crisp notes of September. Endlessly adaptable, the motif bridges summer ease and fall polish—pair a gauzy paisley sundress with espadrilles now, then swap in knee‑high boots and a cozy cardigan when the leaves begin to turn. Whether your style skews preppy with neat button‑downs or leans bohemian with flowing silhouettes, this time‑honored pattern delivers color, texture, and heritage charm that carries seamlessly through the seasons. Find my roundup of the best paisley styles below!

• Silk scarves are your closet's secret weapon and can be styled 100 different ways. I styled this red, white and blue paisley scarf as a top for a dinner on Nantucket, but it will look equally chic tied at the neck with a button up shirt and navy blazer come fall. (Side note, my little wicker clutch is finally on sale!) Another favorite paisley scarf is this rosey Chloe number which looks super chic paired with autumn's rich camel hues.
• These paisley embroidered trousers are too much fun! Pair with a white tee and these espadrilles for an easy farmer's market look.
• Paisley works especially well on silky, billowing tops. This luxurious blouse can be worn with white shorts now, or trousers and these chic woven heels as we head into fall. (Last season's version on sale here!)
• This navy sundress gets rave reviews and is on sale for $36?!
• This paisley slip skirt is a great 4 season staple. Pair with a fresh little knit tank now and a chunky sweater and boots later.
• I just snagged this cotton maxi dress (on sale!) and it moves beautifully. I love the sunset hues that feel fresh with white accessories now, and I'll pair with these brown suede sandals as we approach September.
• Flat espadrilles are summer MVPs, I love that they slip on and have the comfort of sneakers but look a little more elevated. This gorgeous paisley woven pair would make any shorts + shirt combo feel special.
• This silk mini dress is on major sale and works with simple sandals on your next getaway, and knee-high boots come fall.
• This patchwork paisley skirt is on major sale and would look chic with a simple white tank.
• My love affair with silk trousers continues, and this opulent red pair is just gorgeous. Wear with this camel crochet top now, and the matching blouse later.
• I love the bohemian allure of paisley on a swimsuit, opt for this splurge-y number or get the look for less with this swimsuit!
• Rosewater House is a beautiful new-to-me brand with incredible quality (my first dress from them can be seen here!) and this romantic paisley maxi dress is next on my wishlist. I'd pair with this simple thong sandal (love this brand!) and hair slicked back into a bun.
• This bias cut silk gown is begging to be worn on an elegant night out.
• I got this paisley pareo for our trip to Italy and it's such a great buy at under $60!
