While I have touched on the subject of Print on Print in the past, I have to share my love for this trend again with three basic tips. When it comes to combining materials and patterns, one of the designers that does it so well is Mary Katrantzou. Her combinations flow so beautifully. The number rule for mixing prints are to match the colors first. Secondly, choose patterns that aren't so complicated. Although Mary Katrantzou chooses fabrics that are vibrant, if it is your first time trying to master the print on print, black and white stripe are a safe way to go; it goes with everything. If you are still hesitant, take two prints and pair it up with a solid piece. For example throw a solid blazer over the printed outfit or wear a printed jacket and trouser over a solid shirt. There are multiple ways you can rock the print on print look. Find your comfort level. If you're like me, I love experimenting with all kinds of prints even wearing the same print on top as the bottom. This is a very bold look and not every one is on board with a 2-piece matching print, but many designers have mastered it. Here are some of Mary Katrantzou's looks from here 2015 Resort Collection to help guide you on what is the perfect combo!
You can also try introducing this look with a dress from Anthropologie. These fun dresses have the mixed pattern design and could be an easier way to transition into this Print on Print Trend. The dresses can easily work for day and transform into night. So have fun ladies and show me your combo styles!
