Stripes, peas, printed graphics ... The good mix of summer
What are the prints to be married this summer? How to combine them for a convincing look, without completely missing this funny trend?
Stripes, peas, etc.
Fans of prints, to avoid looking disguised by marrying the most varied patterns, start by taking stock of the fashion prints that your wardrobe contains. To be perfectly in the trend of the spring-summer 2013 season, keep your striped pieces - the true stars of summer - in all shapes and styles: marinière, colored, broadband or with narrower stripes, everything is allowed - as well as your polka dot dresses or tops, checkered shirts, romantico-exotic floral pants and tank tops, and all your Aztec patterned pieces that will make you look like a globetrotter. The count is there: you now have a full wardrobe and pile in the printed trend of the spring-summer season. Should we still know how to wear them because strutting with black and white striped pants to match a retro polka dot shirt, there is only one step to make it look like a disguise!
Two prints, no more
The prints are like colors, do not overdo it or you will rain rainbow and ruin the potential of the silhouette that you will imagine. For a total patterned look, we will opt for two prints, no more. Polka dots and stripes, two Aztec motifs, stripes and small discrete flowers ... The choices are multiple, and combining two printed pieces only, you will multiply the possibilities of summer looks. In Tissaia, we find a string of strong pieces, perfectly in the printed trend that will extend his wardrobe, simply by composing good duets for different times of the day.
Play on contrasts
Another basic rule when you want to combine two prints: dare contrasts, both in terms of colors and patterns. Associate flowers or peas with stripes, so it is possible, if it is done in all subtlety. In Tissaia (sold exclusively in the E.Leclerc centers), for example, you can wear the small navy blue shirt with a white flower under a pretty red marinière, an original way of diverting two pieces to the classic style and thus gaining them in trendy fancy .
Prefer the tone-on-tone
So if one can pretty much all afford contrasting patterns, however, think in terms of sobriety about the color palette. Opting for a wide-bodied piece for the upper body involves choosing pants, harem pants or a more melted skirt. In Tissaia, the short-sleeved blouse and Aztec pattern fits perfectly with the mini-skirt with coral polka dots on a blue background. A simple reminder of skillful colors allows the eye to retain the harmony of the whole, and everything is played.
