Pattern with pattern? Yes, you can!
If mixing prints feels tricky, these simple pointers will help you bring an outfit together.
🎨 Connect through colour.
Look for one or two colours repeated in both pieces. This gives different patterns something in common.
🌸 Vary the scale.
Combine a larger, bolder pattern with a smaller, finer one, so they don’t compete for attention.
👔 Try unexpected partners.
Checks with stripes, or checks with florals, can work beautifully. Start with a shared colour, then play with the proportions.
👀 Choose your focal point.
Patterns the draw the eye, so consider where you want that attention.
For example, my hips are fuller, and my torso is smaller, so I often wear patterns on my upper body to draw the focus up.
If you have slim hips, try patterned trousers.
Finally, take a step back and look at the whole outfit.
A colour connection and a little contrast in scale can make all the difference.
Save this for the next time you’re putting an outfit together.
❤️ Your clothes and your patterns. Kx

This is my most challenge pattern with pattern but if you stick with colours should be fine??
