Paisley is a controversial pattern...love it or hate it! But it doesn't have to be such a terse distinction.

You'll see it in prints on cotton, silk, rayon, linen and synthetics. You'll see it in embroideries and jacquard weaves.

What creative tweaks have you used to incorporate it into your wardrobe?
