Mixed prints is a big trend for Spring/Summer 20010! It is definitely one of those "tricky" trends that can be a little initimidating and many of us will just leave it up to fashion editorials to rock this style. Luckily, there are some tricks to making this work in the real world too!
Use Balance. If you use a bold print on the bottom pair it with a more subtle print on the top. For example, the first outfit matches up a high waisted geometric skirt with a pinstripe crop top.
2. Mix complementary colors together. Whether it is a warm or cool color palette when the top & bottom coordinate it makes the look more cohesive.
3. Pair variations of the same print in each piece. The third look has a flower graphic on it very similar to the one on the skirt.
I'm really excited to experiment with this look! It's definitely tricky, but has such an avant garde feel to it.
Will you be mixing prints this spring or is this look better suited to the runway?

Great post, Lauren! I don't own many prints myself, so I doubt that I'll be mixing them; but I absolutely adore the effect on the runway!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome - I just did a post on prints as well! They can seem hard to wear, but this is very helpful. I definitely need to buy some good pattern pieces for spring.
ReplyDeleteI love mixing prints, and a time or two I've done it with plaids. Your points above are great~

Great tips lauren. People are usually intimidated by the idea of mixing prints. It's one of those fashion rules that are meant to be broken but can only be broken with care. :)

I love mixing up patterns, I tend to just throw things together and see if it works, but might need to think about your advice next time I work this look.
