How to Wear Mixed Prints and Patterns

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

The spring trend is mixing prints and patterns.

Follow the few tricks to look fab instead of a mess.

  • Combine prints with similar backgrounds, such as black or any other neutrals.
  • Dress in a similar theme.  For example, a safari-themed flora and fauna combination accented by a small leopard print.
  • Pick up detail in the bolder print.
  • Wear accessories that will do the mixing. Pair a solid or very muted print with bolder accessories such as a scarf or patterned shoes.
  • Counter balance out the scale of each print, like a large floral against a tiny floral of the same hues.

Bring Out Your Inner Warrior

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

The warrior fashion trend is inspired from Ancient Rome, Ancient Egypt and the Ancient Celtic warrior women. The trend is being modernized with fiercer and wilder twists. Elements include metal plating, tunics; especially in leather, chain inspired detailing, and tribal inspired motifs.

How to wear the warrior trend:

The warrior trend rules are open for interpretation with endless possibilities. Below are some guidelines.

  • Invest in accessories that will give any outfit a warrior edge. For example, studded leather belts, the gladiator sandal, and jewelry based on ancient cultures.
  • Mix some of the elements with glamorous pieces. Sequins are perfect. This can give a look that’s modern mixed with metal. Elements include metal plating, tunics; especially in leather, chain inspired detailing, and tribal inspired motifs.
  • Pair very girly pieces with a tough warrioress accessory. This means wear a flowing fabric with a sharp metal plating or studded straps.

The combinations are endless, so be creative, and be confident!
