How to Wear Prints and Patterns with Confidence

Prints add personality to any outfit. The secret is wearing them in a way that flatters rather than overwhelms.

The rules

  • Start with one printed piece, keep the rest neutral
  • Match the scale of prints when mixing
  • Use a common color to tie mixed prints together
  • Choose prints that suit your proportions

Outfit ideas

A printed blouse with neutral trousers.

A floral dress with a solid jacket.

A striped tee with a subtle patterned scarf.

The confidence trick

Treat a print like a color — balance it with neutrals and let it be the focal point.

Prints are the easiest way to add personality to your wardrobe.
