No. 2249 – How to mix prints and patterns

In this 7 day style series I will show you how to effortlessly mix prints and patterns. The key to mixing is the color scheme. As long as the prints can relate in color you are more or less free to mix as much as you like. But don’t choose more than two different prints or patterns at the same time, otherwise the outfit can look too overwhelming. In this example I combined a bell shaped scuba skirt with floral print pattern with a figure-fit off-the-shoulder striped top. The elegantly relaxed 3/4 sleeve knit jacket is sleek and structured and neutralizes the outfit. The braided two-tone court shoes and patent leather clutch complement the color arrangement perfectly.
