STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Hip to the Prints

April 14th, 2015 at 2:00am

You can never go wrong with prints for spring. The mixed print trend has been around for  years, donning on items such as skirts, shorts, shirts and dresses. Mixed prints can be commonly attributed to the ’70s and the hippie movement. Today, Fashionistas are whipping out their printed clothes as the weather warms up.

Mixed prints can be used to create almost any look. From a hippie look to a preppy look, mixed print shorts can be paired with simple white tops like this Fashionista did, or paired with a bright blazer. Add fringe or gladiator sandals and you’ve got yourself a ’70s look. If you want the shorts to do all the talking, pair the shorts with a simple, solid color top with a simple sandal.

This Fashionista kept her look simple, which really emphasized the shorts. However, to keep the whole outfit coherent, she added a turquoise stone necklace, which plays off the different hues of blue in her shorts. She also kept a navy blue sweater by her side for those chilly classrooms. The navy blue accents the shorts and creates a uniformed, preppy look.

When you have multiple classes a day, comfort is key. This Fashionista certainly does not sacrifice her comfort while looking effortlessly stylish. From her loose shorts to cotton top, this Fashionista is sporting the perfect, cool outfit for spring.
