What is pattern mixing?

Pattern mixing is the art of combining different patterns, such as stripes, florals, plaids, and polka dots, in one outfit. It can create a bold and statement-making look.

How can I mix patterns boldly?

To mix patterns boldly, choose patterns in contrasting colors and sizes. For example, pair a large floral print with a small polka dot or a bold stripe with a subtle geometric pattern.

What are some tips for mixing patterns subtly?

To mix patterns subtly, opt for patterns in similar color tones or choose one dominant pattern and one more subtle pattern. You can also mix textures instead of bold prints for a more understated look.

Can I mix patterns in the same color family?

Yes, mixing patterns in the same color family can create a cohesive and harmonious look. For example, pairing a navy and white striped top with a floral skirt in shades of blue and white can be a great way to mix patterns in the same color family.
