9 New Ways to Mix Prints


Mixing with Aztec Print
  • Aztec/tribal prints are in for spring/summer
  • Go bold with neons or pop one bright with a black and white palette
  • Accessorize with fun belts, hats, and bags
  • Make print mixing work by uniting one color between the prints
  • If you're unsure about aztec, try a simple clutch in the print and mix it with a simple stripe and bright pants (keep accessories basic)
  • Add a touch of color to the classic striped boat neck tee and unite the color with accessories
  • For a different spin, try the aztec trend in a fun pair of wedges, while keeping the rest of the outfit basic with a striped tee and black leggings

Mixing with Floral Prints
  • Pick a common color scheme to unite prints
  • Play with color in your footwear
  • Mix gingham and a floral dress for a preppy feminine chic look
  • Be eclectic in a graphic floral printed skirt and a futuristic stripe
  • Floral pants look great paired with a pastel striped top and jewel toned accessories
  • Florals are all about pastels and brights- add style by bringing out the most unexpected color from the palette in your accessories

 Mixing with Stripes
  • Stripes are the most basic print to start with for mixing patterns
  • Be trendy in metallic while still remaining girly with pastels by adding subtle metallic accessories
  • For a standout look, pair an abstract floral top with a basic striped skirt
  • Pop color in your accessories for a look that's all your own
  • For a look that's office-to-after hours appropriate don a curve hugging yet modest dress with a striped blazer and killer ankle booties
