Portuguese tile print: how to use it in your looks

Gone are the days when the prints full of details of the tiles were only on the walls of the houses. The meticulously embellished design of Portuguese tiles found its way into women’s clothing and even accessories.

“The theme of this print is inspired by Portuguese tiles, that is, the predominant colors are blue and white and black and nude contours can also appear”, explains image and style consultant Fernanda Maranho. The print is also known as porcelain print, due to the fact that the designs resemble Chinese porcelains.

She also points out about the use of this print in the looks: “If you intend to venture into this trend, it is good to know that, as it has a light background and a contrasting pattern, this is a print that attracts attention, so the ideal is to use it on the part of the body you would like to value.”

Fernanda advises that, for example, if you have a heavy torso and full breasts, you should opt for a skirt or pants with the print and a plain blouse. And that if you have a lot of hips, butt or thighs, the print should be used on a blouse, shirt or blazer.

“For the most daring (and those who are in shape) it is possible and sophisticated an all-printed look. If you decide to wear a production like this, combine it with neutral accessories and heels, to elongate the silhouette”, suggests the consultant.

As for accessories, Fernanda recommends choosing only a striking or colorful accessory to compose a patterned look. This way you avoid production being too loaded.

Suggestions for looks with Portuguese tile print

If you want to adopt this print in your look, don’t be afraid to think that printed clothes are difficult to match, because there are several different ways to create looks with this print. Check out some suggestions and tips:

look with blazer

To create a look with a tile-print blazer, bet on plain pieces and complementary colors. For example: white tailored pants, a navy blue satin blouse and the porcelain print blazer. For accessories, bet on discreet golden earrings and a structured handbag in neutral color. A heel on the feet is ideal to maintain the sophisticated style of the blazer, but nothing prevents you from combining the look with a sneaker.

Total porcelain print look

For this look, it is important to remember that the print covering the entire body will give you more volume, giving you a fuller appearance. It is ideal for women with little hips and with a leaner body. A suggestion for a total porcelain print look is shorts + shirt and another option is skinny pants or tailored pants + shirt. Adopt discreet accessories with this look. On the feet, a heeled sandal or pumps will help elongate the silhouette.

Look with Portuguese tile blouse

Blouses with this print are easy to match. They can be used with dark jeans, tailored pants or fine fabrics in neutral colors and also with plain skirts and shorts. These looks would be the easiest alternative to sticking to the porcelain print. As the print goes only on the blouse, accessories can be more striking, such as maxi earrings and colorful clutches, but choose only one accessory to highlight and choose neutral pieces for the rest. The shoe will depend a lot on the piece worn underneath, which can be anything from a high heel to a low sandal.

Look with printed hunting

The print when used in the garment that goes in the lower part of the body values ​​​​women with a triangle silhouette (torso more voluminous than hips and legs). If you’re tall, bet on straight-cut pants and if you’re short, bet on the flare cut combined with the heel. Thus, you bring more volume to the legs and hips without flattening the silhouette. This type of print looks better with tailored pants and looser pants. Very tight models, such as leggings, can be more difficult to match harmoniously. The rules for accessories are the same as in the previous look.
