How to Wear Bold Colours and Graphic Prints Together
Trends in fashion are increasingly being driven by social media sites like TikTok and Instagram, with youthful influencers leading the mainstream fashion industry in setting the latest styles. The fashion forecast for 2022 suggests that prints will be at the forefront, ranging from logos to stripes and floral printed clothes.
Some people can be a little wary of this kind of bright, graphic colouring though. That is especially true of those who do not naturally have bold personalities.
Here are some ideas for how to make these styles work for you if you are not used to them.
Wearing Prints and Colours Separately
Prints
The prospect of trying to combine graphic printed clothes can be very intimidating if you are not a full-on fashionista. That is because prints involve patterns as well as colours, which creates greater potential for your clothes to clash in a way that is harsh on the eye. These tips will help you avoid that.
Opt for a Set
You can get complete graphic print outfits that are designed to go together. That solves the problem of how to combine them well for you with no effort needed.
Think Color Not Pattern
People who are not used to wearing prints together often focus on making the patterns blend nicely rather than the colours. It should be the other way around though, because when different colours mix effectively, the patterns follow suit.
Stick With Similar Shades
Mixing different prints together will mean wearing more than one design. The best way to offset that is by trying to keep as closely to a similar colour scheme as you can.
Colours
Combining various block colors without patterns will involve a different set of issues to consider. Here is how to do it successfully:
Put together opposing ones
Wearing an outfit that consists of a single colour – or a couple that blend too closely – will either be dull or overwhelming. The smart way to wear colours on their own is to put opposing ones together.
Choose clothes with detailing
You can wear clothes in a single bold color without ending up with a ‘blocky’ look if you pick ones with detailing. An example of this would be ruching, which will break up the lines and add much-needed visual definition.
Wear them sparingly
If you are not used to wearing bright primary-colored clothes you can seem awkward. Build your clothing confidence by wearing them sparingly at first. That will push you into trying something different and you will soon feel at ease.
Wearing Print and Colour Combinations
Once you start to feel more confident and surer about bold styles, you can think about mixing up block colors and print patterns in your look. These pointers will help you get it right.
Experiment in private
Trying out combinations of pattern prints and colors in private lets you experiment. This can be in the changing room of a clothes shop or at home, but a shop will let you get help and advice from assistants as well as friends.
Balance with accessories
If you are trying out bright colors and prints for the first time, you can soften the effect by opting to wear accessories in pastel shades. These accessories can also help you to get over any anxieties you feel about your bold outfit.
Wear them at home
Wearing lively combinations at home is a great way to get used to colours and patterns. If you were not brought up to be an extrovert, it can be hard to learn as an adult. Wearing prints and colours at home will also enable you to identify any issues before you set foot outside.
With a bit of know-how you can start wearing patterns and colors together or separately and boosting your clothes confidence.
