The Foundation: One Dominant Print
When combining prints, always let one pattern take center stage. This dominant print can be bolder in size, color, or overall impact. The other print(s) should then play a supporting role, complementing rather than competing. For instance, a large floral print skirt could be paired with a subtle pinstripe blouse, allowing the florals to truly pop.
Play with Scale and Color
Varying the scale of your prints is crucial. A large, graphic print works beautifully with a smaller, more delicate pattern. Imagine a wide-striped top with a tiny polka-dot scarf – the contrast in scale creates visual interest without overwhelming the eye. Similarly, consider the
color palette. Sticking to a cohesive color family, or choosing one unifying color present in both prints, helps to tie the look together seamlessly. Neutrals like black, white, and gray are excellent anchors for vibrant mixed prints. Don't be afraid to experiment, but always aim for a balanced and intentional aesthetic.
