Understanding how to execute this trend will allow you to create so many new looks from items already hanging in your closet. Here are a few tips to get you started!
STRIPES ARE YOUR FRIEND
In fact, they'll be your bestie. Stripes are considered the neutral of prints and will complement almost anything. I especially love stripes paired with floral, but also consider polka dots, checked or animal print!
BUSY BUT NOT DIZZY
Don't wear two prints that compete with each other. Pair a simpler print (like black and white stripes) with a busier print (like my crazy pants.)
KEEPIN' IT IN THE [SAME COLOR] FAMILY
Your contrasting prints should fall into the same color scheme. Focus more on matching colors than matching prints -- it's all about the overall visual image! If your polka dot top has blue in it, make sure your floral skirt also has blue in it.
If you don't feel ready to tackle a full ensemble yet, experiment with prints while accessorizing -- add a patterned scarf or a printed clutch! I hope these tips have you walking into your closet with adventure in your eyes -- Share your thoughts below :)
