My fashion-fiend friend lends more of her ideas with this post. We will give you a lowdown on how to finally wear those vibrant printed outfit you’ve been keeping in your closet. Get those out and let’s mix and match for a more stylish you!

Batik and geometric patterns. These patterns are best when they are made into loose-fiting, laid-back clothes such as a flowing blouse, poncho-style top, or a wrap-dress. These outfits are perfect for your spring and summer vacation, especially on beaches for that tropical look. These prints are best paired with solid-colored plains like a pair of green pants.

Less defined prints. Less defined prints are more easier to pair with. For example, a printed skirt that almost look solid-colored from a distance can be paired with a plain tank top. Accesorize with a beaded necklace to add color to the plain top.

Fancy patterns. Fancy-patterned clothes can be toned down with denim or linen. You can be more comfortable wearing these prints if you pair them with casual clothes.

Simple shapes. A skirt with an etched effect looks best with a tailored top. Think polished look — to give this simple pairing that flair you want.

Classic floral prints. This is perfect for your classic taste. These prints look best on earthy olive or beige backgrounds. A dark background makes this pattern look less proper so you can wear the outfit on a dress-down day. This print is best on denim and canvass and best matched with a cute top that also has a semi-classic touch like a lacy blouse.

Victorian rose print. Look for this pattern on conservative styles that has a feeling of retro. Think 40’s or 50’s – an A-line skirt or a soft, simple sundress. You can complement this outfit with a one-tone twinset, three-quarter-sleeve sweater or a feminine tie-neck blouse for an exquisite look.
