The Oui Lemon Print Edit: How We're Wearing It This Summer
There is a quality to a really well-done Oui lemon print that lifts everything around it. Not loud, not trying too hard, just quietly, cheerfully right for the time of year. From knitwear to blouses to scarves, the edit covers every way you might want to wear the print, and we have loved styling our way through it.

Where the Print Feels Easiest
If you are new to wearing a print like this, start with a shirt. The lemon print shirt is our quiet favourite of the whole edit. The combination of light green and yellow is fresher than it sounds on paper, and it works worn open over a white T-shirt or tucked into wide leg trousers. For something a little softer, the lemon print blouse does the same job with the volume turned down. Its stone background takes the edge off the yellow beautifully, which makes it smart enough for lunch and easy enough for the weekend.
The Lemon Print in Knitwear
A lemon print jumper sounds like a statement, but the yellow and white knit is anything but. The yellow is warm rather than sharp and the fit is relaxed, so it is the kind of piece you reach for without thinking. The chunky knit takes the same idea somewhere more textured. Those who love their knitwear whatever the season will understand it straight away, and the depth of the knit gives the yellow something to sit against.
The Pieces That Pull It Together
Not everything here is strictly a lemon print. The white and yellow stripe cardigan is the piece the edit is built around, the layer that ties the rest together over a blouse or a simple tee. And the lemon motif T-shirt is the everyday base, the most useful thing in the edit, with a motif that is subtle rather than an all-over print. It is lovely under the stripe cardigan or worn simply on its own.
The Easiest Touch of All
If you would rather just dip a toe in, the lemon print skinny scarf is the way. Tie it loosely at the neck, knot it on a bag handle or wear it in your hair. A small thing that does a lot, and the easiest way into the print.
Why the Oui Lemon Print Works
Oui has been one of our most loved brands at Olivia Grace for years. They have a particular gift for colour, finding combinations that feel fresh without ever straying into territory that is hard to wear. The lemon print is a perfect example of that thinking. Every piece works on its own, and every piece works together, which is harder to achieve than it looks.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy Oui lemon print clothing in the UK?
Olivia Grace Fashion in Wetherby is an authorised Oui stockist. You can shop the collection in-store at 23 Market Place or online at oliviagracefashion.co.uk, where you will also find the wider Oui range as new pieces arrive through the season.
What is in the Oui lemon print edit?
The edit brings the print across a summer capsule of pieces, from a light green and yellow shirt and a softer stone blouse to lemon print knitwear, a white and yellow stripe cardigan, a lemon motif T-shirt and a skinny scarf. The tones run through yellow, white and soft green, so the pieces sit together easily.
How do you style a lemon print?
The trick is to let the print lead and keep everything else simple. White, denim and soft stone are all natural partners, and a single lemon print piece is usually plenty in one outfit. A scarf or a motif tee is an easy way to wear a little, while a shirt or jumper lets the print do more of the talking.
Is lemon print difficult to wear?
Not the way Oui does it. The yellows are warm rather than sharp and the prints are balanced with plenty of white and green, which keeps them wearable rather than loud. If you would like to start gently, a scarf or the motif tee is a lovely first step before a full print piece.
