How to mix prints

Print mixing should look unintentional, but there has to be a plan behind it to really make it work. One can’t take any 2 or 3 prints to mix, the prints needs to have something in common. Here’s some print mixing I’ve done.

Picture are from a few years ago and taken by my friend Kari, we had a lot of fun doing photo shoots. When this pandemic is over I hope we can take this up again. I also would like to get back to this weight. I have a lot of nice clothes waiting for me to come back.

Stars and Stripes

This is a very easy way to mix prints, both the jacket and the scarf has a cream color which ties them together.

Stars and Stripes are not intentional as a Norwegian I don’t have the same relationship to Stars and Stripes as Americans do.

I still have all the pieces here in my wardrobe btw, I love the vintage Mulberry bag.

Stars, stripes and birds

A little more advanced, mixing 3 prints. Again what’s ties them together is the cream color. The birds in the dress have a cream color.

This is my all time favorite dress, I have made so many great outfits with this dress. Unfortunately now it’s a bit snug, so it’s packed away for leaner days.

Stripes and birds

Again the same dress, this time with a traditional Norwegian sweater, and again it’s the cream which ties the prints together. The olive green scarf picks up the olive in the print.

I’m super picky when it comes to prints, and currently in my wardrobe I don’t have much. I’m not a floral girl unless the flowers has a more abstract and pointy shape. Those kind of prints are not easy to find. When I do find prints I love, they do get a lot of wear, like this patterned dress in these pictures.

What is your favorite print?
