1. Monochromatic
An easy way start mixing patterns is to replace your solid color with a monochromatic print. Try matching your favorite floral shirt that you normally wear with navy pants with a pair of navy polka dot pants or navy stripped pants. Think you can pull it off?

Mixing patterns can be a great way to add variety to your wardrobe and create unique and stylish looks. When mixing patterns, it is important to keep the colors and scale of the patterns in mind. For example, when starting off with mixing patterns, it is best to stick to a monochromatic look. This means sticking to a single color palette and using different patterns in that same color. For example, pairing a navy floral shirt with navy polka dot or striped pants. This will create a cohesive look that is both stylish and easy to pull off.
2. Leopard is a Neutral
What? I didn’t know this either until recently, but I am game. What does this mean? It means you are free to wear leopard with whatever you want! Try a leopard skirt with a striped shirt. You can also pair a leopard jacket with printed pants.

Leopard print is a great way to add a bit of personality to any outfit. It can be used to break up a look, add a bit of edge, or just give a classic piece a modern spin. When wearing leopard print, it's important to remember that it's a neutral, so it can be paired with any other pattern or color. Try pairing a leopard skirt with a striped shirt or a leopard jacket with printed pants. To keep the look balanced, make sure to keep the rest of your outfit fairly simple. If you're wearing a leopard print top, try pairing it with a solid color bottom. If you're wearing a leopard print skirt, try pairing it with a plain, solid color top. With the right styling, leopard print can be a great way to liven up any look.

When it comes to fashion, mixing patterns can be tricky. But don't worry! One great way to make sure your outfit looks put together is to match colors.

4. Add a Third Pattern
Oh my goodness, can you believe it? What do you think about mixing in a third print? It’s really not that hard. Remember how we talked about leopard being a neutral print? Well, monochromatic prints are like neutrals too. You can add them to another pair of patterns without worry.
***
Mixing patterns is a fun way to express your personal style, but it can be tricky to get right. It's important to choose patterns that complement each other, like a floral and a plaid. The key is to find a common color or theme between them. For example, if you have a patterned top with a pink flower print, you could pair it with a plaid skirt in shades of pink. Another tip is to choose a neutral print like leopard or a monochromatic print to add a third pattern to the mix. This will help to create a balanced, cohesive look. With the right approach, mixing patterns can be an easy and stylish way to make a fashion statement.
5. Mix Print Sizes
Prints come in different sizes. It’s good to mix a large print with a smaller print. It looks good and your friends will be impressed with your fashion forward statement. What prints will you mix? How about a small checkered print with wide stripes?
6. Avoid Mixing Small Prints
Two small prints against each other can be hard on the eyes. Avoid putting two together. Instead try a small print with a large print. It’s much more flattering. Instead of a small floral with tiny polka dots, try larger dots.
7. Don’t Forget Accessories
Accessories are an easy way to mix patterns. You can carry a printed bag with just about any outfit. Printed shoes are good too! Do you have any printed accessories? Do you mix them with patterned outfits?
Do you feel ready to mix patterns? I can’t wait to hear how these tips work for you. What items are you thinking of mixing together? I think tomorrow I will wear a cute stripped jacket with my favorite floral printed blouse.
