The concept of mix and matching patterns is daunting as it is something we seem to fear, but it shouldn\u2019t be. Maybe it scares us because it\u2019s the fear of the unknown – you\u2019re not sure where to start and it seems as though you would need to take some kind of masterclass in perfecting the trend. Another contributing factor to the scariness of it all is that you think there is no way that you could pull it off and you\u2019re scared of other people judging you, but I\u2019m here to help, as I will explain how to mix and match patterns and present to you my personal favourite prints available on the high street. Mix and match patterns are nothing new, just look at the runway – fashion designers like Versace, Kenzo and Dolce and Gabbana find a way to incorporate several different patterns within their looks and make them work and there is no reason why you can\u2019t do the same.<\/p>\n

Design Influence<\/h2>\n

Because of the designer influence, patterns are everywhere in fashion right now, from midi skirts to play suits, even patterned accessories are in, from shoulder bags to belts, sunglasses and headscarves.\u00a0Summer seems to be a better time than any to start mix and matching, with bold colours and equally as bold prints; from checks and stripes, to animal, polkadot and floral prints, there are so many potential combinations. So is it just a case of throwing something together and hoping for the best that it looks great?\u00a0Well, there is no rule book when it comes to pulling off mix and matching patterns, but here are some helpful tips\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

Confidence<\/h2>\n

Confidence is key \u2013 Being confident is key with whatever you wear because if you feel confident, you look confident. Confidence is therefore required when mix and matching patterns for the same reason, while I can\u2019t give you confidence as it as a quality you must work on and build up yourself, believe in what you\u2019re wearing and this will show when you step out in your prints.\u00a0The colour wheel – Hues play an important part in the process of mix and matching patterns because if the colours match so will everything else. Bare this in mind when mix and matching and be aware of the colours that typically clash and don\u2019t compliment each other as this will help you understand what to mix and what not to.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Outfit Coordination<\/h2>\n

Bottom\u2019s up – another useful tip when it comes to mix and matching is to start at the bottom and work your way up. Once you have chosen what you\u2019re going to wear on your bottom half i.e. leopard print flares, you then have a starting point to work with.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t go OTT – add at least two items that are just one colour to your look as this will help to balance everything out and make your outfit less overpowering with the combination of the different patterns.<\/p>\n

Add texture \u2013 try to incorporate different textures into your look, from cotton and denim, to silk, velvet and leather. All these types of fabrics will make your outfit even more interesting and unique.<\/p>\n

So now you\u2019re in the loop, here are three handpicked looks already mixed and matched for you\u2026<\/p>\n

Look 1<\/h2>\n

This look combines a spotty satin ruffled midi skirt and a polka dot tie side bell sleeve top with a pair of blue checked court heels and a striped mesh shopper.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

Look 2<\/h2>\n

This look incorporates a leaf print button camisole and a yellow plaid A-line mini skirt with a pair of floral print peep toe wooden block heels and a 90\u2019s monogram inspired shoulder bag.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Look 3<\/h2>\n

This look includes an off the shoulder flounced jacquard weave top and a bright check wrap midi skirt with a pair of pointed floral side tie slingbacks and a weave chain detail tote bag. This is one of the most classic ways to\u00a0mix and match patterns within your wardrobe.<\/p>\n
