STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Pick The Pattern

Summer is the time of year to be truly adventurous. Everyone knows that summer holds infinite possibilities and is the perfect time to take chances—especially when it comes to trying new styles. That’s why this season, patterned pants are making their way into Fashionistas’ closets for more than one reason.

This Fashionista picks a pair of trendy pants in a lightweight micro-knit material. It’s a great way for her to dress up, yet secretly stay comfortable. She picks a floral pattern in varying shades of blue that are reminiscent of summer days. You should base your pattern on the occasion. If you’re going out for the night, try a black pattern or opt for something bright. For a lunch date, a multicolored floral pattern or tribal print is a great option.

She excellently pairs her patterned pants with a white, fringe tank top. When wearing a pattern, it’s best to keep the rest of your outfit simple to avoid clashing elements. The white tank top adds the perfect amount of contrast and complement her pants. Plus, the fringe in the tank top is a great way to add another interesting element to her outfit.

This Fashionista chooses a pair of pearl studs and silver bracelets and necklace to play up her outfit. Her silver Alex and Ani bracelets complement the cool colors of her outfit, keeping her color scheme intact. Her blue necklace is the perfect accent to her outfit, pulling in the blue of her pants and the silver in her bracelets.
