I know mixing prints isn't for everyone, but I frequently get questions about how to match different patterns. If you want to try it (and you should if you want to), I will give you some great tricks.

Here's how you can come up with stylish outfits with mixed prints: 

• Wear two different prints in the same color, such as black and white. It's easier this way.

• Match prints with colors that are neighbors in the color wheel (or rainbow), such as blue and green. They look similar to our eyes because they share pigments.

• Use varying prints scales. I mean, one of the prints should be bolder than the other. For example, one piece has bigger patterns while the other has smaller ones. 

• All of the ideas above are relevant when the prints are close to each other. Let's say you choose a floral scarf and pair it with animal print shoes, but everything is just one solid color in between. This combination will match beautifully. That's why having a bag, a scarf, a belt, or shoes with cool prints is the simplest way to go.
