3 Print-Happy Looks Even
Minimalists Will Love
For many, avoiding prints is a pattern that’s hard to break. Solid hues require minimal effort to style, and it’s all too easy to put off wearing your statement pieces for so long that they make it off the hanger only once or twice a year. But wearing more print doesn’t have to be intimidating: From pared-back to preppy to purposefully wild, here are three ways to approach it.
NEUTRAL GOOD
Similar to how a main character’s performance is underscored by a good supporting cast, this minidress is even more impactful in the presence of quietly chic neutrals—like a khaki trench, a hazelnut-hued bag, and taupe socks (let them peek out from the tops of your boots).

LINEAR THINKING
Menswear stripes may be the easiest-to-style motif. Take this bustier-and-button-up set, for instance: Set against an olive-green skirt and gold accessories, it’s a fun yet classic-feeling way to break up a solids-only rut. Wear it unbuttoned for a sexy-without-trying vibe.

BOLD SCHOOL
When it comes to mixing prints, the trick to styling a look that reads carefully considered instead of chaotic is to keep your color palette cohesive and your accessories minimal (classic sunnies, clean white kicks, frill-free carryall). The result is the perfect mix of unexpected and playful.
