Size Matters:
Play the size card to your advantage. One of the simplest and most effective techniques for mixing prints is playing with scale. By layering patterns of different sizes, you can create a visually captivating outfit that embodies the confidence you have on the inside to the outside. Pair a small-scale print, such as polka dots or gingham, with a large-scale pattern, such as oversized florals or bold stripes. The smaller print acts as a neutral backdrop, allowing the larger pattern to take center stage. This technique adds depth and visual interest to your look while keeping it cohesive and balanced.

Stick to a Color Family:
Here's a little secret: staying within one color palette is your cheat code for print mixing. When experimenting with mixed prints, keeping your patterns within the same color scheme can make a world of difference. Opting for prints that share common colors creates a sense of continuity and harmony within your outfit. For example, pair a navy and white striped top with a floral skirt featuring shades of blue and white. By sticking to the same color family, you effortlessly tie your prints together, creating a polished look. This approach allows you to embrace your adventurous side while keeping a sophisticated and cohesive appearance.
