Trend: Paisley Park
Some recall paisley as the psychedelic apostrophe that dotted dad’s ties. Others know of its prouder provenance as a botanical-inspired pattern woven into shawls in Paisley, Scotland, in the 18th century. Whatever your associations with this old-school motif, it’s back for another whirl. Showing up in new colors and incarnations, it feels both hip and historical.
