The SHG – Pattern Behaviours
Posted in: SHGPlaids, prints and other patterns ranging from classic and conservative to colorful and quirky are showing up on all types of garments and in numerous store windows. Not only that, but it’s no longer a fashion faux-pas to mix and match patterns that originally would’ve seemed mis-matched or over-the-top. Now florals and polka dots are the best of friends, while plaids have been seen in many a collaboration with stripes and other prints. But while it seems like anything goes, it’s still possible to step over that fine line of stylish into garish. Limit yourself to three colors for a bright and whimsical vibe and not like you’re on your way to a kid’s birthday party as Bozo’s assistant. And also avoid pairing prints that are too similar, like plaid and houndstooth, so that you’re fashion statement is more obvious and not looking like you raided your grandmothers closet.
