One basic rule of fashion is always about having an elegant balance to your outfits, and this will only go perfectly with this mixing technique if you understand the balance between scales, colors, and themes of the patterns. When you’re mixing your own patterns, look for a connection. It could be a color, a shape, or a silhouette.
The key is to stick with only two prints and pair your outfit with basic solid accessories, such as a bag, belt, jewelry, or heels. Or you may mix two similar-scaled prints—but not two super-big ones—as long as you break it up with something solid. Make sure your patterns and textures won’t compete with each other.
Theoretically, mixing textures and prints can be a daunting task, which often results in the wrong combinations that don’t look that good. This is why most people say they’d never do it. But seriously, with lots of practice and if done correctly, you can get out of your comfort zone and mount amazing looks using the technique of mix and Match.
This technique is pretty easy to do if you’re willing to think outside the box and take style risks. Not to mention, it has the added bonus of extending the versatility of the wardrobe you already have.
So, here is a perfect way to mix patterns and textures.
