This trend can be a little bit tricky to pull off but when done right , it will allow you to make use of different prints in your closet.
I wore my polka dots blouse (seen here) which I paired it with a tropical print pencil skirt (seen here), long beaded necklace and brown heeled sandals for a fun mixing print look.
How to mix prints
If you’re new to this trend start by pairing neutral prints with colourful/bold prints. To pull off this look you can pair animal prints/stripes (which are neutrals) with floral prints (bold). It’s easy to mix polka dots with stripes/animal prints for a maximum impact on your ensemble. Always mix large prints with small prints but if you’re filling adventurous you can wear two prints of equal scale.
Wear two prints simultaneously to avoid having a busy looking outfit, however this rule can be broken by the fashion forward individuals who can wear three prints together. One should be cautious when wearing three prints together, if this is not tastefully done one could look like a Christmas tree.
Go for similar colour family to help blend your prints/patterns together. Don’t be afraid to incorporate printed accessories into your outfit for a statement look.
