Prints can be a bit more challenging to wear than solid colors, but they are a lot of fun. There are so many interesting options that they can really allow your personality to shine through. One way to style prints is to pair them with neutral colors like black and white. This will work most of the time and will tone down the print a bit.
My favorite foolproof way though, is by pairing a print with an item that picks up one of the colors in the print. This works every time and you don’t need to stick to neutrals when using this trick. You can see that in the outfit I’m wearing, I picked up the pink tones of my tropical-printed skirt with the lacey pink top. Neither item is a neutral piece, but because I matched the colors, together they create a neutral outfit. Fun accessories are optional, but I often like to add extra touches.
Thank you for reading. Be kind. Be you.
If it speaks to you, I’m wearing:
Tropical print skirt, similar (both as part of fun sets) here and here
Lace top, similar pairings for the skirts above here and here

July 10, 2018 at 11:45 amThat is such a beautiful maxi skirt! I love the pink lace top with it too. Great print wearing tips as well, I often pick a colour out of the print to pair something with prints too! 🙂
Hope you are having a lovely start to your week! It’s a cold one here in Brisbane!

July 11, 2018 at 10:20 amHi Kath
This is a good trick, use a pattern with a color of that same pattern, just like you did, floral pink with pink. I think pairing various patterns is a big challenge and we don’t always get it right. But the way you did it was perfect, and I loved your lace shirt.
Lots of love
