Winter may be dragging on for another six weeks, but that does not mean you have to stay buried under layers and layers of clothing. Yes, winter may be a bit depressing but with spring right around the corner and NYFW wrapping up, there is inspiration everywhere. In the midst of a campus, where most students opt for the standard leggings and winter boots for their daily look, this Fashionista sets herself apart from the crowd with mixture of patterns.
Figuring out how to style bold prints and colors can be a difficult task. There is a thin line between stylish and tacky that can easily be crossed if you go overboard with patterns. This Fashionista clearly knows how to mix it up with her seasonal pieces to make one stylish look. Although the jungle print on her pants and plaid coat are very different from each other, what allows them to work is the complementing earth tones. To keep the attention on the prints she balances the bold prints by pairing them with a black top and leather booties. To finish off the look she added a bright lipstick color to match the orange and red tones that are in her coat.
Experimenting with patterns and bold colors during the winter months is a great way to stand out from others. If you’re looking for more inspiration from the runway on how to achieve this look the Céline spring 2014 ready-to-wear collection is full of bold patterns and prints to brighten up any day.
How To: Have a great spring/summer item that you’ve stored away for the winter? Break it out a little early as this Fashionista did and layer under your winter essentials. After you’ve done that, keep the rest of your look simple to avoid from going overboard with patterns.
