Few patterns carry as much history as paisley. Originally known as the Boteh motif in Persia, it adorned luxurious carpets and cashmere shawls for centuries. In the 19th century, the droplet-shaped design found its way to Europe via the Scottish town of Paisley – and became a global success. Today, the pattern from 1001 Nights is one of fashion’s most beloved prints. Paisley dresses add a touch of oriental charm to your wardrobe, ranging from flowing maxi styles to elegant shifts.
The beauty of paisley lies in its intricate, ornamental structure. Whether bold and colourful or subtle in pastels, paisley print dresses always stand out. Summer calls for flowing maxi dresses with ruffles and boho appeal, while in the office a paisley shift dress adds a touch of playful sophistication. Styled with sandals and a straw bag they feel relaxed, with pumps and a clutch instantly elegant. Paisley adapts effortlessly to any mood or occasion.
Paisley isn’t just a revival of the hippie era – it’s a modern classic. For summer parties, beach holidays or business meetings, a paisley dress is always a statement. Earthy tones, berry shades and soft pastels dominate the 21st-century look, making the pattern fresh and wearable. For festivals and leisure, long boho dresses are ideal, while darker designs in navy or black turn into elegant eveningwear.
Paisley had its first big fashion moment in the 1960s, when the hippie movement embraced the pattern as a symbol of freedom and openness. Flowing dresses, tunics and psychedelic colours defined the look. Today, paisley is experiencing a renaissance in boho chic – more subtle, yet just as expressive. Paisley dresses represent individuality, joie de vivre and a hint of exotic charm – making them an essential part of Ana Alcazar collections.
