Personal Shopper: Mixing Patterns

Reader Request:

I think you've done this before, but can you give some tips for mixing patterns, and maybe an example? 

I did, indeed, do this before, but it was a long, long time ago, so here's a refresher:


  1. Match a color or two, or at least keep the palettes somewhat similar
  2. Combine a small scale print with a large scale print, or a geometric print with something more natural.
  3. Anchor the prints with similar colored accessories. 
  4. Most importantly, wear it with confidence! You can pull off anything if you believe that you can.
A classic example is below. Good luck!
