However, patterns can be mixed and matched in many fun and creative ways. From floral and stripes to plaid and paisley, there are an abundance of fashionable prints to style uniquely. Step out of the mundane and play around with these tips to curate an outfit full of unique personality. FRAME LE CROP MINI BOOT IN LEOPARD $265 FRAME BRETON STRIPE CARDI IN CAMEL MULTI $528 There are both bold and subtle ways to approach the idea of mixing prints you may not typically put together. This first take on pattern play is a great way to start out. The camel striped pattern on this FRAME cardigan pairs well with the FRAME leopard pant. This look works because the color family is similar. Wear this look for your next day out running errands or lunch with friends. ALICE + OLIVIA BREANN LONG FITTED BLAZER $550 MARKET JONATHAN SIMKHAI HALEN RUCHED METALLIC $595 Another helpful tip is to put a less busy, larger pattern with a busier smaller one. That way, the pieces can balance each other out. This Jonathan Simkhai dress from MARKET is stunning alone, but add this Alice + Olivia blazer on top to create something special and eye-catching. ETRO FLORAL PAISLEY DRESS $2,740 AKRIS CASHMERE WOOL SILK INTERIORABSTRACT INTARSIA KNIT CAPE $3,990 Take it up a notch with a variety of modern and retro.

CAROLINA HERRERA POPPY PRINT SHIRT DRESS $1,590 RALPH LAUREN WOOL WRAP COAT $798 You cannot go wrong marrying two classics: plaids and florals. This tailored, neutral Ralph Lauren Wool Coat layers nicely with this colorful Carolina Herrera Poppy Dress. Sophisticated yet exciting, it’s a perfect pairing for your next fall evening. The autumnal colors of the wrap coat make it fall, while the rich florals of the dress make it fun. RAG & BONE FAWN PRINTED SILK BLOUSE $350 VERONICA BEARD SIRA SKIRT $598 For this outfit, the bolder, the better. When one design is on the busier side, it’s wise to pick an accent color from it and find a coordinating, two-tone print that acts as your neutral. Remember, confidence is key.
