How To: wear Crazy Prints
Bruna Camargo
So this jacket was a toughie! When I saw it on the rack, I was immediately drawn to it. It was something about the cut, the colors, the fabric, the boldness of it. The only concern I had was: “How the hell am I gonna wear this overbearing print pattern?!”
You could just stick to wearing the basics: black everything, plus the jacket as a pop. But I thought a jacket this unique deserved something different. Pairing it with a leopard print belt and a fun tee-shirt (in this case, my faux-Céline-gotta-look-twice Célfie tee did the trick.
So here’s what you can do:
- Wear it as a sole piece of print, leaving everything else in neutral colors;
- Pair it with another print - try to make it more muted than the main focus piece, though (see above);
- Wear it with solid pieces - pulling one color from the print pattern as a top or bottom (in this case, maybe a maize or purple shirt or pant)
- Create your own rules and forget everything I’m saying!
Some might say it’s too much information. I say, knowledge is power. ;) (Oh, that and screw what everyone else - including me! - says.)
