Mixing Prints

Mixing prints 

It’s a struggle mixing in prints in your outfit. Suppose you fall in love with an absolutely adorable printed piece at Lucky B. You want to try on the piece, but at the same time, you’re hesitant to. You’re unsure how to coordinate it with the clothes in your closet! Worry not ladies. Here are some tips on mixing your favorite prints, so you can enjoy more outfit options!  


Bold x Small
Not small x small or large x large. Try mixing bold prints with small prints. The danger of mixing bold prints together (or small prints together) is that it takes away the essence of a standout piece. Bold x Small compliments each other, without overpowering neither piece. 


Match colors
When in doubt what to mix and match, focus on the colors. Similar colors or complimentary colored pieces are recommended to match. Just have some fun with your favorite colors!   
Mixing pastels like light blue and baby pink are great, because they can make a statement while not being overpowering. On the other hand, the combination of black and white is a staple for prints, with a classy feel. Black and white also act as a neutral for prints, so it’s a go to when you’re unsure of what to match. 


Bring some solid colors
If layering many prints start to overwhelm you, just replace a printed piece of clothing or accessory with a solid color piece. Layering in a solid color will tone down your outfit, calming the overall look.
Let’s say you are planning on wearing your favorite pair of Tropical Abstract Pom Shorts from Lucky B with a white and navy bold stripped blazer. You can pair this outfit with a simple white V-neck T-shirt, and an elegant navy clutch purse, to keep your style classy and full of color. 

 

Try mix and matching whatever is most comfortable for you. Lucky B has many fun printed pieces in store and online!
