This week for The Edit, we celebrate pattern mixing. Pairing prints with similar pattern shapes i.e. leopard and polka dots or spots, can add variety and depth to your wardrobe while affording more possibilities for matching scarves. The three simple and from my research best pattern mixing rules are:
1. Vary the scale of the patterns. Wearing medium/large with small patterns creates balance.
Mixing various sizes of patterns can also add more volume to parts of your body that need more of it, and helps with balancing out your silhouette!
So if your hips need more oomph amp up on top with bigger prints.

2. Pair patterns and textures that won’t compete with each other. Wearing two super-bold patterns will cancel each other out in a wall of print. Instead, combine a large floral skirt with a versatile two-tone striped top. That’s the principle.
3. Draw your patterns from the same color family or, alternatively tie the two base colours together with statement accessories. Iris Apfel, one of our beloved Style Icons, does this expertly.
Pattern up this week and have fun X. @scarfringgirl
