Bored of polka dots and ditsy floral prints? Then the latest print design to hit the high street will have you chirping from the trees. Conjuring up images of enchanted forests and fairytales, the bird print trend is feminine, cute and almost dreamy. With those sweet little birdies looking just as good on a tote bag as they do on a sheer, floaty blouse, this print’s versatility has made it an instant hit with the high street. After featuring in Mulberry’s A/W show, our favourite highstreet stores have taken the print under their wings just in time for our Autumn wardrobe overhaul. The look has even gained the seal of approval by our favourite princess come style icon; Kate Middleton, when she visited Canada earlier this year in a monochrome bird print Issa dress. So for a whimsical look fit for a princess, take a look at these beauties.
Dorothy Perkins Black Bird Print Shirt Dress
Dorothy Perkins has really come up trumps with this gorgeous Black Bird Print Shirt Dress. In fact, finding just one piece to choose from good ol’ Dotty P proved fairly difficult, with numerous pieces endorsing the trend. However, what really made this dress stand out was its uncanny resemblance to Miss Middleton’s favourite Issa creation. Channelling the 1940’s vintage look, this bird print shirt dress is incredibly flattering with its nipped in waist accentuated by a knot twist detailing. But with the odd splash of hot pink, and the adorable bird print, the dress remains modern and fun.
Miso Bird Print Blouse
Who said black with brown was a cause to call the fashion police? This sheer Miso Bird Print Blouse is the perfect statement piece for Autumn. In an earthy colour reminiscent of the fallen leaves of the season, this bird print blouse can be dressed up with leather leggings and black suede platform heels for a great going out ensemble. Incorporating a masculine element with a sharp black collar, the blouse even touches upon the masculine tailoring trend which can be followed through with the addition of a black box jacket or blazer. Pretty much an all-rounder!
John Lewis Bird Print Wool Scarf
With colder days and nights to contend with, keeping warm and stylish at the same time can be quite a challenge. But with this John Lewis Bird Print Wool Scarf, you’ll want to be outside facing the elements. Made of wool, this bird print scarf will be sure to keep you warm during walks in the park and Christmas shopping trips. Available in black or cream as the base colour, this scarf has fringed edges and a faded print which almost gives it a hand-made look. Worn with another print on your top half, the outfit could look chaotic. So keep things simple with a cosy wool jumper or chunky knit cardigan in muted tones.

Marks and Spencer seem to be catering for an ever more youthful consumer base and this jumper certainly seems to do just that. This Limited Collection Bird Print Cropped Knitted Top with Mohair with its oversized print is a bold choice. As the jumper is cropped, this piece is great for layering- a must if another harsh winter is on the cards. Wear a neutral colour underneath to keep all eyes on the bird print and black skinny jeans and biker boots for a casual rock chic daytime look. If you’re uber keen on the trend then why not pair this jumper with a statement bird ring from Accessorize?
