A hot trend right now is pattern mixing – but how can you learn to mix prints and not look like a clown?
Here are some simple tips to abide by in order to make sure that your mix-and-matchin’ is still in fashion!
1.) Pick colors in the same family, or, colors that are at least complementary.
2.) Make sure that the mixed prints are distinct enough from one another.
3.) Try to stick to 2 or 3 patterns — too many more and you will look like you chose your clothes with your eyes closed.
4.) Vary the scale of the prints, if you can. For example – a large floral print with subtle, thin pinstripes.
5.) When mixing patterns, go light on accessories…..your outfit will steal the show.
6.) Most importantly, rock that outfit with CONFIDENCE!
Here are some inspirations for you to get started …enjoy some looks from Proenza Schouler, Roberto Cavalli, Prada, Forever 21, and more…
