Fashion 101: Pattern Mixing

We don't know about you, but there can be some scary things about fashion. It's usually when a new trend is comes in-- like pattern mixing. Pattern mixing has been around for a while, but it's hard to make sense of it. What pattern goes with what? What's too busy? What works and what are some pattern mixing don'ts? Don't worry, because we've got you covered here. We'll teach you all about the basics of pattern mixing!

1. Combine patterns of different sizes. Make sure you have one big print, and one smaller print. Mixing two big prints makes your outfit really loud and we definitely don't want that! They don't need to be incredibly small or big, but mixing patterns of different sizes will make your outfit look so much better and more pleasing to the eye.



2. Mix patterns in the same color family. Don't be incredibly matchy, but make sure that the shirt you're wearing has a similar color in the skirt you're pairing it with. Check out the examples below to show you how.



3. Look for patterns that complement each other. Some of the easiest patterns to mix without fail are polka dots, stripes, floral, and plaid. As long as you follow the rules above, there's no way you can fail at pattern mixing!
