The best print mixing isn’t always instinctual. It comes down to a few styling tricks I’ve honed over the years, and none of them are about piling on as many patterns as possible. It is about using print in separate pieces that sharpen one another. A dot can make paisley feel less boho, embroidered florals can bring dimension to prints in the same tone, and an unexpected accessory that just peeks out can push the whole look somewhere more interesting.
If you are hesitant to mix prints, start by looking for one element that ties your pieces together. It might be a shared color palette, a similar scale, or simply a mood that runs through each piece. Once that connection is there, the outfit can handle far more than you might expect.
This look came together almost by accident. Paris turned cooler than I planned, so I reached for pieces I hadn’t planned to wear together, and found I loved the way it all played off itself. The finished look has depth and individuality, especially when pieces come together in a way that feels slightly unexpected.
