Fashion prints are still much in vogue. They are colourful, eye catching and figure-loving fashion pieces.
From your dresses to accessories, you can experiment with colourful prints inspired by animal, flower, sea, sky or even paintings.
They are complimentary to all skin tones, provided you understand the rule of fashion prints.
Prints stand out a lot, so it’s best to wear one print at a time and keep the rest of your look simple.
For a printed top shirt, keep your bottom preferably to a colour that is already in the print.
Pick one piece whether it may be a top or bottom, and compliment the “louder” piece with something more subtle such as a pair of black pants
A good place to start experimenting with prints is with bags and shoes. When wearing animal prints, stick to black for the rest of the outfit.
Don’t wear more than one print at once. Don’t combine an animal print top with a floral print skirt – it will look trashy
Opt for fitted prints! They look better than larger prints which could make you larger than you are.
Thus, If you got a fuller figure stick with smaller prints .
How To Mix Patterns
Keep print simple with a solid colour plucked from the pattern.
To mix separates with similar prints, keep the colour palette consistent, but choose different scales.
A large floral looks hip when worn with dainty flowers. Follow the same rules when mixing different prints.
