Five tricks to combine successful prints during this summer

Fashion

And get styles with color and shapes as main protagonists

During spring and summer fashion firms almost complete.Through the mixture of living shades, styles are achieved more with heat, leisure and vacations.One of the difficulties in creating this type of set is the mixture of colors that is further aggravated when the designs of certain pieces include prints in which the color and details are multiplied.

The main problem when mixing prints is the contrast that is created with the union of the different tissues.With multiple drawings and colors that do not follow the same pattern it is more difficult to identify which prints can be mixed with others.These are the five keys to be able to mix printed according to the reasons, color and type of garments of each style:

Combine prints with a common color

At first glance many prints seem impossible to combine each other in the same styling.Either because of the type of garment or the drawing they create with the print, there are pieces that cannot be mixed with other prints.However, a way to combine them is through color.On the one hand you must identify the predominant color of the piece and look for another that also shares that same hue although it creates a different print.

Repeat stamped on different garments

There are a number of unwritten norms that are always accepted when printing are combined.One of them states that two print of the same typology can be combined, such as flowers, moles or stripes, in a set.In the case of moles, different prints can be used that do not share a completely equal design.The majority of prints of this typology are presented by playing with white and black and, to break with the neutrality of the colors, you can add accessories in red or with details of this tone.

The stripes always look good with flower prints

Flower print garments become the most difficult pieces to combine.In most cases, they have drawings full of flowers designed in multiple colors and even rhinestones.A resource that can always be used are stripe prints that provide a neutrality point to the whole.For this, any type of stripes are not worth but you must choose a garment that shares the predominant or base color of the garment with the flower print.

The ‘print’ can be mixed

There is some reluctance to include, in the same styling, garments with different types of ‘animal print’.Despite the hardness of this type of prints, you can choose a garment that includes a leopard print and combine it with a snake in a smaller piece.The key is to play with the proportions of the ‘animal print’ in each piece and choose which one is the dominant and which occupies a background.To complete the styling the white color becomes the most appropriate option that reduces the contrast between the prints.

Separate prints with monochromatic garments

One of the simplest resources, if a print with the same color is not found or if it does not finish perfecting the garments, it is to separate the prints by monochromatic colors.In the case of a shirt and pants, you can include a belt that acted as a dividing band.If it is a complete body set, another option is to resort to a upper garment, such as a jacket or blazer, which subtracts prominence from the print.Through neutral shades, without any drawing or relief, the contrast between the different stylism prints disappears and a point of naturalness is provided to the whole.
