8 Rules: How to Wear Print

Prints and patterns make fashion fun and this season, they are all the rage. Many mix and match for an eclectic look. They make true fashion statements if worn the right way.

You might say prints pieces complicate the way to pull your wardrobe together but it’s really just about figuring out which prints work together. Learn how to wear the print trend through these simple rules:

Rule #1: The most important rule is to wear the right size print for your figure. If you are a petite woman, a small print looks best on you. A large print overwhelms a petite figure. If, however, you are not petite, you can do a larger print. The idea is to balance the print to your body.

Rule #2: Pick one of the colors in the print to add to the solid piece you will wear with it. You can keep it simple and safe by picking the neutral color in the print such as tan or white. This keeps the print as the focal point.

Rule #3: Coordinate your accessories to the prints you are wearing. Pick one of the colors in the print to match your handbag and another for your shoes. I prefer not to match my handbag to my shoes, this keeps it more interesting.  If this is too much to think about, go for a nude accessory that will always look amazing.

Rule #4: When you want to go bold and wear head to toe print, remember that the prints need to have at least one color in common to pull them together. This is a little more difficult but could be really fun and trendy.

Rule #5: Tribal prints look very chic with metallic accessories. Great big gold earring looks fabulous with this print.

Rule #6: You can also keep the tribal look organic by pairing tribal prints with woven and crochets accessories.

Rule #7: Don’t be afraid of pairing some the floral prints with neon or bold color accessories. This makes the feminine print feel more edgy.

Rule #8: Lastly, if you are still not sure about wearing print, try a printed accessory. A great clutch bag or a fabulous shoe in any fun print can take your ordinary look to fashionista status.

Top designers are now making beautiful prints as an important part of their wardrobe. Look at how they play with prints and try one of their looks. No matter how you do it, enjoy your prints and patterns and above all, have fun with them!
