So you can style an ingenious mix of patterns

Admittedly, styling patterns is an art in itself. Then to combine different patterns in such a way that it looks good? Not that easy. What is decisive here is your own viewing habits: if you don’t usually wear patterns, you might initially feel a bit strange about the new look. Therefore, you should think through the look carefully the first few times and not throw something together at the last second because you have to leave the house under time pressure. If you have time, you should browse while shopping, try them on and get inspiration about what suits you and what you like. Think about how many patterns you want in advance. With clever layering, you can take it easy with your colorful bag: For example, wear a floral shirt under a simple sweater, plus animal print shoes and a small statement bag.

same with same

Try it like the Norwegian content creator: Batik combined with stripes and a little pop of color through the shoes. She ensures harmony in the pattern combination by choosing pieces from the same color family. So it really doesn’t matter what is combined. So let your imagination run wild. For anyone who finds that a bit too wild, there’s another tip: Use the same patterns instead of relying on color families. You can add depth to the look by combining the same pattern in different materials or colourways.

Texture and abstract

Don’t want a lot of confusion? Presenter Aminata Belli has the perfect solution: the abstract, short-sleeved, oversized shirt is the perfect match for green flared pants. The latter doesn’t have a pattern, but the fabric has a nice texture. This keeps things exciting. We didn’t expect anything else from the former shopping queen! To get a feel for it, a sample piece can also be combined with something very simple: denim is always a good choice here.
