mixing patterns, put together

put together: mismatch your prints…

|Elena Daciuk

flipping through my august 2010 instyle magazine…got to page 248…and well…just stopped…and truly took a moment to admire this very well put together ensemble…

i know…i know…it’s not for everyone…but it really does work…veronica etro, head of etro womenswear design…gives her tips to make the look work…”pair a bold, decorative pattern, such as loud florals, with a geometric one, like clean polka dots, that’s smaller in scale, so they’re not competing”

i say…yes yes! do you like mixing patterns?

  1. I’m a big fan of mixing and even mismatching prints. Simple things can look so much more interesting in unusual combinations. Thanks for posting the photo, Elena!

  2. I say YES! I love that combo. As an inverted triangle, I’d love a brocade skirt…hoping to find one in my price point. You know I love dots with animal print.
