How do you wear pattern?

This month's topic at Everybody Everywhere is pattern mix.  I really love the topic.

Pattern Mixing | Everybody, Everywear

 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
Do you have any additional tips?
