Can you mix prints?
Mixing prints can be a really tricky trend – but I am informed that by learning a few simple tricks you can soon be pairing pattern like an expert.
As a beginner, I have started by mixing a soft pattern with a bold check and keeping my colour scheme simple in black and white.
A safe way to mixing patterns is by keeping the same colour scheme throughout the outfit. If the colours work together, the prints should work as well. Choose your combination and carry it through the main pieces.
Layer in solids – this way you will still feel ‘put together’. Wear a neutral jacket or minimalist accessories. Breaking up the pattern on pattern with these simple basics will help you avoid overload.

I almost think it gets addicting to mix prints. Not that I do it every day, but it makes putting together outfits so fun and challenging!!
I love this combo Jill!!

Thank you Jodie. Not too confident about this when many colours involved but quietly confident when only 2 colours.

I love adding interest to neutral colors by mixing some prints! I love how your top is textured, too! It’s a great outfit!

Wow Jill, we were definitely like minds! I love the print on your pants. You nailed it by sticking with the same color scheme, makes it a lot less risky and easier to do. Sometimes I’m subtle but more often than not I’m bold!

Black and white is a fantastic combination for pattern mixing. Jodie is right, once you start, it gets quite addictive – I find patterned tights are fun to add to a patterned skirt! Thanks for joining #WowOnWednesday.
