Skirts are such a great way to rock prints and batiks especially if they have large scale motifs. You can go for simple A-line, pencil or flared skirts and let the fabric do all the work as it were.
You can wear them with block colours too for a nice fresh look. Pair with a t-shirt or blouse in a complimentary colour, put on some heels or trainers and you are good to go. A white or black t-shirt/blouse/shirt will go with pretty much any print and colour.
Another thing you could do is pick a colour that is in the print fabric and wear a top in that colour.
