Tag Archives: mixing patterns

One of the hottest recent fashion trends is mixing prints, but unless done with proper care, it can look like you got dressed in the dark. For best results pairing patterns, follow this framework:

1. Combine two prints that share a color scheme.
2. Make sure that one print is dominant and the other subordinate. If you have two equally loud patterns, the eye has nowhere to rest.

Have you tried mixing prints before? What were your results?
