To spice up your muted outfit, especially when you’re wearing a monochrome one, opt for accessories with stylish prints such as hats, sunglasses, bags, shoes, and even jewelry to bring some dimension and interest. Stephanie simply wore a hat and a necklace with a creative pattern together with her black romper and the result is simple but sophisticated. Animal prints such as leopard, zebra, snake, and even crocodile are great to make a bold statement in a tamed way.

Fashionable prints in dresses are creative and sophisticated depending on the prints you’re opting for. When you have a lean figure and wish to bring volume to your petite frame, you may creatively wear horizontal stripes on your dress. Whether the dress has a form hugging or flowy silhouette, stripes give a visual impression of a fuller frame. On the contrary, if you have a fuller figure and wish to look leaner, vertical stripes on dresses are your best bet. When wearing a busy pattern on your dress, keep your accessories neutral, muted, and simple to avoid an eye-sore. Though, wearing color blocked accessories or a shade similar with your printed dress is great.

When wearing a printed top, you may complement your style with stylish accessories such a statement necklace or statement earrings. The color of your accessories may be analogous or complementary to your printed top to create awesome looks. Aside from playing with the scales of prints to create some dimension, you may look for blouses or tops with stylish cuts and necklines such as a peplum style blouse, off-shoulder tops, crop tops, halter blouses and such.

Palazzo pants, culottes, flared pants, skinny pants, shorts, pencil skirts, and even maxi skirts look great when having those creative prints and patterns. Since your bottom piece will likely draw on your footwear, keep your shoes, boots, sandals, or pumps in a neutral shade or a shade similar to your prints to avoid looking overdone. Like Stephanie, look for more versatile prints that you can match with diverse shades like pastel, neon, or even bold ones.

Pattern mixing is a stylish trend at the same time creative skill to master. Like Stephanie, you may look for similar scale of prints in different shades or dissimilar scale of prints in the same shade to keep the harmony of your outfit. Print variations may go from stripes to florals, chevron to checks, and so on.

Wearing prints is a creative and effortless way to show off your personality and artistic nature. Whether you’re sporting a bohemian, feminine, classic, or casual, stay sophisticated with fashionable prints.
