It’s possible to mix and match lace with other pieces in your wardrobe. For an ultra feminine look, wear an over-sized sweater with a sexy black lace skirt. Give your look some edge with a motorcycle jacket and Doc Martens.
It’s a street style trend that will take you right through winter. You can even wear this look again in the spring and summer if you want. Mix and match lace with various fabrics is a great way to embrace your feminine side.
3. Graphic Prints and Polka Dots
Both large and dainty polka dots are ideal to wear in the spring and summer months. This print is especially popular on American holidays such as Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. If you have a polka dot blouse, pair it with graphic pants and plain caps.
On the other hand, if you have polka dot pants, pair it with a thin statement sweater. These thin cool sweaters feature adorable graphic prints and phrases that you’ll find at high-end retail stores. No matter where you go, you’ll make a fashion statement.
4. Prints and Stripes
Stripes are a print that most people tend to pair with denim jeans. But the stripes go well with smaller patterns such as Houndstooth or floral print. It’ll add some interest to an otherwise boring everyday work wardrobe.
Don’t be afraid to pair stripes with the other prints in your closet. For example, wear a blue-and-white striped T-shirt with a red floral print maxi skirt. Or, pair a leopard print cardigan sweater with a brown floral print swing skirt. Both of these looks can be topped off with ballet flats and a statement necklace.
5. Plaid
Some people are afraid to mix plaids with other prints. There’s no wrong way to do this look. The best way to do it is to combine plaid with a different patterned piece in a similar color. Street style bloggers have been owning the streets in a blue and white floral print chambray shirt with a royal blue plaid skirt. You can mix the patterns any way you want as long as the colors complement each other.
There are so many ways that street style bloggers mix and match patterns. Your wardrobe should provide you with plenty of colors and patterns that you can experiment with. Some of these tips should give you style inspiration for your own looks.
