How to Mix and Match Patterns in Women’s Fashion

Mixing patterns can seem intimidating, but it’s a great way to add personality and style to your outfits. With a few tips, you can master the art of mixing patterns and create looks that are both bold and chic. Here’s a guide to help you start mixing and matching patterns like a pro.

Start with Neutrals

If you’re new to pattern mixing, start by incorporating neutral-colored patterns, like black-and-white stripes or polka dots. Neutrals act as a “base” that makes it easier to pair with bolder prints. For example, pair black-and-white stripes with a bright floral skirt to add visual interest without overwhelming the look.

Combine Different Scales

One of the easiest ways to make pattern mixing work is to vary the scale of the prints. For instance, pair a large floral print with small polka dots or thin stripes. Combining a large print with a smaller one helps balance the outfit and creates a cohesive look without clashing.

Use a Common Color Scheme

Another key to mixing patterns successfully is finding a common color in both prints. For example, if you’re wearing a plaid skirt with a bit of red in it, pair it with a striped top that also has red in it. This color connection makes the patterns look more coordinated and intentional.

Try Stripes as a Base

Stripes are one of the easiest patterns to mix because they work well with nearly everything. Stripes can be paired with florals, polka dots, animal prints, or even other stripes. A striped shirt with a floral skirt is a classic combination that adds sophistication and playfulness to any outfit.

Mix Textures with Patterns

Adding textures to patterned pieces brings even more dimension to your outfit. A lace top with a plaid skirt or a textured knit with polka dots creates an interesting look without overwhelming the eye. Texture adds subtle depth to your outfit and makes pattern mixing feel more polished and deliberate.

Layer Bold and Subtle Patterns

Mixing bold and subtle patterns is a great way to add balance. For example, if you’re wearing a bold leopard print, try layering it with a more subtle print like thin stripes or faint polka dots. The subtle pattern softens the look, allowing the bold print to shine without looking too busy.

Experiment with Accessories

If you’re hesitant to mix patterns in your clothing, start by experimenting with accessories. A floral scarf with a striped blouse or a polka-dot handbag with a patterned dress is a fun way to try pattern mixing on a smaller scale. Accessories allow you to play with patterns without committing to a full look.

Conclusion

Mastering the art of mixing patterns can add a fresh and creative edge to your style. By following these tips, you’ll be able to confidently mix prints and create unique, eye-catching outfits. Don’t be afraid to experiment—pattern mixing is all about expressing your personality and having fun with fashion!

I did the tetradic color scheme both rectangle and square versions on the memphis pattern. The rectangle version has 6 different color combinations and the square version has 3 different combinations. This means it has a total of 9 different combinations of tetradic colors scheme. #80saesthetic #80sfashion #80sstyle #80svintage #80snostalgia #80sart #80sretro #retroaesthetic #retroart #retrolife #tagify_app #patterndesign #patternmaking #patterndesigner #patternlove #patternart #patternmixing #patterndesigners #patternlover #patternlife #patternillustration #patternaddict #tetradic #tetrad #tetradiccolors #tetradiccolorscheme https://www.instagram.com/p/CifhyxCthaq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
