Mixing prints and patterns has become very popular in the fashion scene. And what is probably my favorite part about mixing and matching fabrics is the fact that men are utilizing this new craze and are really pulling it off nicely! Personally, I used to be so afraid of styling a striped top with polka-dot pants because it almost seemed socially unacceptable. I would put on an outfit, look at myself in the mirror and assume that if I went out in public, people would judge me and say, “Does she not own a mirror?” Nowadays, this trend is seen on runways everywhere, and I have never been so excited about a new style craze before!
I love the preppy, chic style that this Fashionisto displays. His bold, Hawaiian button-down paired with subtle, patterned gray pants is so well put together. I appreciate his daring way of showing off these two fabrics. His gray pants pair perfectly with the subtle gray displayed throughout his Hawaiian print top. Finishing off this bold fashion trend with a black belt and vintage loafers is the definition of preppy chic!
How To: Executing mixed prints may seem impossible. Experimenting with different patterns and colors is an important piece in achieving this style trend. No matter the print, the key to incorporating mixed styles and patterns is definitely confidence. The more confidence you have in an outfit, the more confidence you will have flaunting such a daring trend.
