The concept of pattern mixing is a challenging one to navigate – especially when it comes to your wardrobe, but when done right the end result is chic and sophisticated. To avoid looking like you got dressed in the dark, you need to consider the scale and colour scheme of the prints you want to pair. Try mixing a small print with a large graphic one, or a classic striped Breton shirt with a floral skirt to create a contrast that doesn’t compete. If you’re hesitant to wear this trend directly on your body, test it out with footwear and accessories!
