3 Ways to Wear Print
During the dreary months of winter, we need joy wherever we can find it. It’s in these chilly months when we often feel malaise and boredom when looking at our winter wardrobe for what feels like an eternal season that we turn to creativity and experimentation to re-ignite that stylish spark. Print can be one of the most creative ways to play and reinvigorate your everyday looks using patterns that align with your style and comfort.
Statement Coat or Jacket
Embracing print in the way of making a strong, bold statement is a great print option for the person who doesn’t want to put too much thought into how they’re introducing print into their wardrobe. Starting with a printed statement coat or blazer takes the guesswork out by keeping the rest of your look simple so as to keep the outfit balanced and not take away from the bold pattern or print.
Printed Accessories
Utilizing printed accessories to add visual interest to an outfit is the perfect way to explore patterns if you’re someone who feels intimidated. Finding a scarf, hat, purse or shoe with a little bit of print will allow you to lightly dip your toe in the print pool without going overboard and ending up splashing in the deep end without a life-jacket.
Print on Print
Exploring print on print can be one of the most intimidating avenues of pattern exploration. But, if you’re up for getting outside of your comfort zone and trying something new it can be a rewarding way to elevate and add interest through vibrancy. The first step in effectively creating a print-on-print look is ensuring the two prints share two common colours providing a foundation for the eye and cohesion to your look. Another key trick is to make sure your prints are two different sizes, one print should be larger with more negative space, while the other should be closer together with less negative space. By bringing the two different patterns together you create an elevated and vibrant look that will be sure to catch some eyes.
