One of the hottest trends on the runway is mixing prints. Yes, once upon a time it was a huge fashion faux pas, but right now it is all the rage. That is, if you do it correctly. Online retailer, eShakti, offers customizable women’s clothing that can be easily personalized by size, measurement, and style and has shared with us four easy tips on how to mix prints like a pro.
Tip #1: When it comes to prints, stripes are just about as neutral as you can get. Treat a striped piece as if it was a solid one, and combine it with a bold pattern for a visually striking look!
Tip #2: Stripes and polka dots are the two most classic prints, so why not put the two together? The structure of stripes and the softness of polka dots makes them ideal complements of each other and always results in a flirty and elegant combination.
Tip #3: For a more composed multi-pattern look, combine two pieces that share a color in their patterns. This shared color will totally tie the outfit together, even when the patterns might seem to be a total mismatch!
Tip #4: Mixing colors and patterns can be overwhelming, so especially if you’re a mixed-print newbie, start with choosing pieces in the same color scheme. When you don’t have to worry about whether the colors go together, finding patching prints is no longer a daunting task!
