How Can You Tell Which Prints Are Right For You?
The seasonal color guides we've created cover the basics. But what about wearing prints? You want to follow the same rules, and there is one way to tell if a print will work for you.

When looking at a print, ask yourself which color first catches your eye. The dominant color will determine whether or not the print is warm or cool. That color will also let you know if the print fits your palette. Additionally, if there are other colors of equal dominance on the piece, they should also fit into your seasonal color palette.

For example, if you are a cool, and you come across a hot pink plaid piece, you want to make sure that any other colors prominent are also cool, such as charcoal or black. This is especially important for pieces like shirts or scarves that you wear close to your face.

The Rules of Animal Print
You might not think of animal print as being something that can affect the way you look, but it can. There are cool and warm color palettes for animal print pieces, and you want to choose the ones that match your coloring to bring out your best you. The same thing applies here as with other prints- ask which color first catches your eye to determine whether the print is cool or warm. Use these guidelines and examples when dressing on the wild side.

Spring women can do warm leopard print by pairing it with a color like peach. The lighter hue makes the animal print pop, and enhances women's natural glowing color.

What About Mixing Prints?

It can feel intimidating to wear two different prints for the same outfit. But when done properly, you can look totally chic and stylish! Here are a few tips for putting together a mixed print outfit that will make you feel confident and look fabulous.
INCORPORATE ACCESSORIES

Using an accessory like a scarf is an easy way to wear mixed prints. It is a great option if you're new to print mixing, or have some hesitation in combining different prints.

KEEP THE PALETTE CONSISTENT
KEEP COLORS MINIMAL

Make sure you keep additional colors in the outfit to a minimum. Staying in the same color scheme with your accessories prevents the look from being overwhelming.

CHOOSE DIFFERENT SIZED PRINTS

Keep the look consistent by staying in the cool or warm color palette. Don't combine cool pieces with warm pieces. Not only will it divert attention from your best you, it will make the outfit seem more distracting.

The prints you wear are more likely to stand out if they aren't competing with each other, so don't wear two prints of the same size. A large floral print with a smaller scale stripe is a wonderful way to keep the look balanced.
