Portuguese tile pattern: how to use it in your looks

Gone are the days when the full patterns of the tiles were just on the walls of the houses. The meticulously adorned design of the Portuguese tiles ended up in women's clothing and even accessories.

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

She still warns about the use of this print in looks: If you intend to venture into this trend, it is good to know that, having a clear background and a contrasting pattern, this is a pattern that draws attention, so the ideal is to use it in the body part you would like to value.


Fernanda advises that, for example, if you have a heavy trunk and full breasts, you should choose a skirt or pants with a print and a flat blouse. And if you have plenty of hips, butt or thigh, the print should be worn on a blouse, shirt or blazer.

• For the boldest (and those with a fit body) a sophisticated print look is possible and sophisticated. If you decide to use a production like this, combine it with neutral accessories and heels to lengthen the silhouette? suggests the consultant.

As for accessories, Fernanda recommends choosing only a striking or colorful accessory to compose a printed look. This prevents production from getting too busy.


Suggestions of looks with portuguese tile pattern

If you want to look like this in your look, don't be afraid to think that print clothes are hard to match, because there are many different ways to create looks with this print. Check out some suggestions and tips:

Look with blazer

To create a look with tile print blazer, bet on plain pieces and complementary colors. For example: white tailoring pants, a navy blue satin blouse and porcelain print blazer. For accessories, bet on discreet gold earrings and a neutral structured handbag. A heel is ideal for maintaining the sophisticated style of the blazer, but nothing prevents matching the look with a sneaker.


Look total porcelain print

For this look it is important to remember that the print covering the whole body will leave you with more volume, giving a fuller look. It is ideal for women with low hips and leaner bodies. A suggestion of total porcelain print look is short + shirt and another option is skinny pants or tailoring + shirt. Adopt discreet accessories with this look. On the feet, a heel or scarpin sandal will help lengthen the silhouette.

Look with Portuguese tile blouse

The blouses with this print are easy to match. They can be worn with dark jeans, tailored or noble fabrics in neutral colors, as well as plain skirts and shorts. These looks would be the easiest alternative to sticking to the porcelain print print. As the print only goes on the blouse, the 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 garment worn below, from high heels to low sandals.

Look with stamp hunting

The print when worn on the lower body part values ​​women with a triangle silhouette (trunk larger than hip and legs). If you are tall, bet on straight cut trousers and if you are short, bet on flare cut coupled with heel. This gives you more volume to the leg and hip area without flattening the silhouette. This type of print looks better with tailored pants and looser pants. Very tight models, such as leggings, may be more difficult to combine harmoniously. The rules for accessories are the same as the previous look.
