The Return of the Paisley Pattern

Few prints carry the storied charm and soul of the paisley pattern. Rooted in ancient Persia, reimagined for 70s bohemian fashion, and revived again for today’s free-spirited woman, paisley is having a moment. And at Saint and Sofia, we’re celebrating its bold and beautiful return.

This August, we’ve woven paisley into the very heart of our latest collection as an ode to 70s boho style – but this time, with a contemporary twist. Think soft tailoring, flowing silhouettes, and rich textures in earthy hues. Leading the way is our new Brown Paisley, a standout motif featured across several key styles, including the Naya V-Neck Dress, a relaxed showstopper with flattering lines and fluid movement.

Paisley Pattern Midi Dresses

The Naya V-Neck Dress in Brown Paisley is effortless elegance. The flowing midi cut, the cinched waist, the soft drape of sustainable fabric; this dress doesn’t just nod to the 70s, it channels it with grace and intention. Whether paired with boots for autumn wanderings or sandals for late-summer soirees, it’s a piece that moves with you.

Our paisley print also features across boho blouses and statement pleated skirts for a chic co-ord. Pair the Everly Pleated Skirt with the Joselyn V-Neck Blouse or Turn Up Contrast Tee for a paisley pop, or wear them separately for a more relaxed vibe.

Brown or Beige: Two Ways to Wear

For those drawn to softer tones, the paisley comes in an elegant beige colourway; a delicate alternative to the richer brown. The neutral version pairs perfectly with soft knits and our signature leather accessories, making it a versatile base for transitional dressing. Find it across our Eliza Pleated Skirt or the endlessly wearable Lila Hanky Hem Dress.

Why Paisley?

There’s a reason the paisley pattern endures. It’s a symbol of freedom. In the 70s, it was worn by rock icons and style rebels. Today, it’s being embraced anew by women who want their clothes to tell a story.

At Saint and Sofia, we’ve always believed in clothes with stories. The August Collection, steeped in bohemian influences and finished with tailored precision, is our ode to that legacy.

What to Wear with a Paisley Pattern?

Thanks to its vibrant swirls and statement shapes, paisley patterned garms work for themselves when it comes to creating looks. Pair a paisley tee with a staple pair of denim jeans for a dressed-down look, or play into the earthy tones and style it with a brown suede skirt for something more chic. As for the beige print, its more neutral hues offer greater versatility, but we have to admit it looks great with a black tee and leather jacket.
