ALL IN THE DETAILS: Playing With Patterns

June 8th, 2015 at 2:00am

If you’re like me, you are sick of wearing little black dresses for a night out. After having a long winter with dark clothes, I am ready for bright fun pieces.

Follow in this Fashionista’s footsteps and don’t be afraid to stand out in a bright pattern on a night out this summer! The skirt this Fashionista chose adds a playful touch to her look and playful patterns are an easy way to stand out in a crowd. If you are feeling really daring, like this Fashionista, mix up your patterns like how this Fashionista’s sequin detailed top adds more personality her look. In order to not look like a mismatched mess, make sure colors on both of the patterns match and keep accessories neutral. This Fashionista did exactly this by coordinating her top to one of the colors on her skirt pattern, plus the black bag and shoes do not distract from the main focus, which is the skirt.

Embracing eye-catching patterns doesn’t have to be scary! Simple cut pieces incorporate this trend subtly. Keeping the rest of the outfit simple is another way to stand out if you aren’t sold on mixing patterns.

How To: Going out is all about having fun, so why not start the fun with a funky patterned piece to your outfit. You could start small, such as a clutch or go all out with a patterned maxi dress, just remember to make that the focus.
