Graphics in Print: 3 Tips to Wear

Vivid patterns look so fresh—and they ignite your look like a shot of pure adrenaline. If you haven’t found the courage to try a bold, graphic print, here are a few confidence-building tips.

#1. Go head to toe. Match your patterned pieces for maximum impact. Then use chic tonal shoes to balance the look. [Pictured: Robert Rodriguez Stained Glass Print Silk ShirtTuxedo Pants, Vince Camuto 'Persh' Sandal (Nordstrom Exclusive)]

#2. Try a punched-up purse. So easy! A boldly patterned bag pops any outfit, especially another graphic print. [Pictured: Pour la Victoire 'Milano - Medium' Tote, Diane von Furstenberg 'Karin' Print Silk Shirtdress]

#3. Mix your prints. The trick? Use one or two strong shades (like black and white) to anchor your pairing. You can also unify your mix with patterns of a similar scale.
