Can I Wear Florals with Plaid?

| Permalink
Q.  This summer, there are so many cute prints I'd love to wear, especially the florals and plaids. I recently bought a blue floral top and plaid headband. Do you think these two prints could be worn together or do they clash too much?

A.  Go ahead, mix it up! Prints that appear to clash, like plaids and florals, can actually look fantastic together. The trick is to make sure the prints share common colors. For example, wear your blue floral-printed top with a plaid headband in a similar color of blue. The effect tricks the eye and makes the multi-prints seem less busy and more harmonious.
