STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Playing with Bold Prints

Playing with bold prints is always a great way to spruce up your outfit. Whether the garment is floral, tribal, geometric or another type of print, it makes even a simple outfit interesting. When it comes to very colorful or busy prints, you have to be selective in what you pair it with so the look does not appear overwhelming. Implementing prints into your wardrobe may pose a challenge, but when done right, they can totally make the outfit.

So how does one pull off a bold print? There are many variations in which to do so. Depending on how creative you are with your wardrobe, you can pair micro-prints together, bright prints together and much more. One of the best, most practical ways is to utilize neutrals and solids in combination with the print. This Fashionista’s look is a good example of how to do so. She pairs a simple, white top and chunky, white platforms to complement her bold, printed shorts. The shoes spice up her neutrals as well. The white pieces flow into the light floral pattern keeping the outfit cohesive, airy and perfect for summer.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I don’t wear many accessories and I don’t like how jewelry feels on my body, so in order to put together cute outfits, I utilize the garments I do like. My advice would be to take a bold garment, such as the shorts I am wearing, and then work out an outfit that flows with it.”
