How to Wear Prints

Flip through the pages of your favorite fashion magazine, and it’s hard to miss the preponderance of patterns and prints in the mix. Mixing prints is one of this season’s chicest trends! Don’t find yourself on the outs, turn to prints when you’re in doubt!

Of course, every hot trend has its do’s and don’ts; here’s how to be a “pattern maker:”

  1. Pick a print you like, and build upon that! If florals are your thing, try the Petals Tank. If geometric prints appeal to you, then you’ll love the Keepsake Cami.
  2. Try a ‘bottom print!’ Printed pants and jeans are the hottest thing right now, so grab a lasso and reel the Printed Bootlet (aka the rope jean!).
  3. Opposites attract! Think a horizontal stripe and a vertical stripe can’t be worn together? Think again – the Classic Blazer and Playtime Tee make quite the charming pair!
