Style Science: How to Create Outfits with Mixed Prints

When it comes to mixing prints, you've always been told its a big fashion no-no. This fashion myth is totally wrong! There are endless combinations and ways to get creative when mixing prints. But knowing what works? That's a little tricky.

Our stylists have pulled together three tips on how to mix the classic fall prints for any great look this year.


Color

Stick with prints in the same color palette. If you’re nervous about two prints being too loud together, add black and white patterns for a more subtle take on the trend.

Size

One print should always be bigger than the other, to avoid having the print wear you! Playing with different colors can help to distinguish size and breakup a monochromatic look. Learn more about size in Style Science: Should I Wear Striped Clothing?.

Classic

Go for classic pieces to complete your look. A black bag and matching booties or pumps are always timeless accessories. You can also add more flair to your classic pieces by incorporating what's Love Snakeskin Print? Here's how to wear it.
