Tips For
Mixing Bold Patterns


1.) Mix patterns from the same color family
Using hues from one main color when mixing patterns can create a great look
2.) Look for patterns that complement each other 
You can go for a more dominant "big" pattern, such asa large floral and pairing it with small polka dots. Look for patterns that won't compete with each other.
3.) Accessories wisely 
Accessories can either overwhelm or balance an outfit, using a colored belt to break up two different patterned pieces can work really well, as can colored shoes, or a neutral purse. Just be careful to not over do it, because they can take away the focus of the outfit. 
4.) Create a balance
Pairing a large or medium pattern with a small pattern, Wearing two or more large patterns make the overall look too overwhelming. 

The best thing to do is look at your closet,and have fun experimenting! 
I paired a dress shirt with skinny stripes, (less bold pattern) with a aztec pattern body con skirt( bold pattern) I had fun putting this on! I wore black leggings and black shoes, so that I wouldn't take the attention away from the outfit. For outside I wore a dark gray coat, matching the skirt to create a balance!
