I used to find pattern mix risky because sometimes it leads to disaster. I was too afraid that the pattern will clash like perfumes. Over the years I had become more comfortable. Here is what I have find worked for me when wearing print
- Mix in some texture with busy prints
- Mix inconspicuous print such as small dots with bigger, stronger, busier patterns.
- Mix bold print with simple graphics
- Break up the lines of stripe with other more complicated geometry shapes or busy small prints to create texture
- Polka dots adds more texture than a plain color sweater
- Tone down the busy print with a solid sweater
- Patterned accessory dress up a otherwise plain outfit
- Don't be afraid to experiment
