When it comes to mixing prints, we’re often at a loss. Though polka dots and animal prints are summer staples, can you really get away with wearing them together? (FYI: Diane Keaton says yes.) So this season we’re giving exciting print mash-ups a try. Because what’s more exciting than sporting a single print? Several prints, of course.
We’re not just talking about patchwork patterns or pinafore tie-dye dresses. We’re setting our sights on interesting paneling and Instagrammable silhouettes. Get ready for some serious mash-up inspiration for your next shopping spree.
