Aztec Styles: Putting Modern Twists On Ancient Patterns

Influenced by the designs donned by the Aztec Empire, which flourished in central Mexico from 1300 to 1521 AD, Aztec fashion is a bold and vibrant style, featuring vibrant colours and geometric shapes. With each design being different to the last, this exuberant and expressive way of dressing is a great way to showcase your personality. 

Our new menswear collection has a whole range of Aztec style clothing that puts a modern twist on this ancient pattern. Keep reading this guide to discover all the wonderful ways you can style Aztec clothing for the season.

Aztec Shirts For Smart Casual Flair


Looking forward to a summer of beach strolls, barbecues, and sun-soaked beer gardens? You’ll want an Aztec print that reflects that carefree spirit, whilst keeping you looking suave no matter the dress code.

 

Crafted from cosy woven fabric with an earthy colour palette, our Enjoy the Adventure Shirt seamlessly blends versatility with a bold style. Layer it over a plain t-shirt for an elevated everyday look or button it up for a polished fit.

 

Style your Aztec shirt with chinos for a smart-casual touch that’ll work for anything from garden parties to Al Fresco dinners, or keep it relaxed with denim shorts and pumps.


Cool and Colourful Knitwear


When the temperature drops, keep cosy with a cardigan that showcases your personal style while keeping you warm during cloudy days and cooler evenings. Not only do Aztec print cardigans bring vibrancy to any outfit, they’re a layer that can be worn all year around.

 

Throw our Amazing Aztec Cardigan over a tank top or graphic tee. Just add some denim shorts and sandals, and you’ll have the perfect outfit for seaside adventures. Spruce up the look with a beaded bracelet or some layered accessories.

Hoodies For Aztec Adventures


If your summer holidays involve hiking nature trails and camping under the stars, an Aztec hoodie is the perfect travelling companion. The eye-catching designs bring a sense of individuality to your outdoor adventures, while the cosy fabric keeps you warm as you huddle around the fire.

 

Our Fun and Free Woven Hoodie has a bright print, mimicking the hues of blue skies and sunsets. Wear it over cargo trousers and finish it off with some boots for an adventure-ready look that’ll take your summer style to new heights. 


Joe's Top Tips For Aztec Styling


Streamline With Simple Colours


Aztec-inspired clothes are a statement piece on their own, so you’ll want your print to be the focal point of the outfit. This means pairing them with solid colours and more neutral tones.

 

Aztec stands out especially well against whites and light greys, but if you prefer darker tones, t-shirts and denim jeans in shades of blue or black create a deeper palette, whilst keeping your look structured and streamlined.

Accessorise Like An Aztec


Accessories played a huge role in Aztec culture as an indicator of power and wealth, and a symbol of religious devotion. From the elaborate gold jewellery of the nobles to the simple pieces worn by the common people, each accessory was both bold and deeply meaningful- just like their clothes!

 

When styling your Aztec outfit, feel free to go all out with your accessories. Opt for necklaces, bracelets, and earrings in gold, jade, and turquoise, which were popular amongst the elite. Aztec men often wore stone bracelets, strung with beads and shells. So this would be a fabulous option if you’re going for an authentic Aztec look.


Now you’ve read our guide on Aztec Styles, it’s time to pick your prints so you can put your own twist on this astonishing ancient trend.
