Bold, offbeat patterns are all the rage this season, but finding an item that you love and knowing what to do with it are two completely separate issues. If you have an abundance of patterned pieces, from simple polka-dots to the most abstract designs, or if you are looking to expand your wardrobe, here are a few pieces of advice on how to exciting, colorful pieces in creative ways.

Patterned Statements

If you have a high-impact patterned piece that you absolutely adore, make it into the focal point of your outfit. Select one heavily-patterned item, such as a blouse or a pair of trousers, and wear it with neutral or more subdued items, adding pieces of chunky jewelry that accent the colors of the pattern. You can also use patterned accessories, such as scarves or bangles, to make a statement with an otherwise basic outfit.

Mix it Up

If you are feeling brave, mixed patterns can create a great visual impact and create a unique style that is all your own. The sky is the limit, here, so trust your instincts – you can try stacking different prints in the same hue, or mixing black and white prints with bold, colorful textiles. If you’re not sure where to start, try crossing monochrome stripes with large floral patterns.

Be Brave

Don’t be afraid to use a bold, brash print in your everyday life. Although a dramatic printed piece may seem like too much at first, remember – there is nothing wrong with turning a few heads. If you like a print, there is a way to look great in it! Confidence is the number one trick to looking stunning in whatever you are wearing, so take that piece that you love and work it like only you can.

In order to make your wardrobe work; you need to match shoes to bags and rock your everyday outfit. Shoes and bags are the necessary accessories which will turn your outfit from a zero to hero. That is why you need to match shoes and bags necessarily! One thing you need to keep in mind is the color. The color is the sole representative of any fashion item. You need to find shoes and bags of similar shades. For instance, if you find navy blue heels then you must have navy blue handbag as well. Even if you wear an entirely black or dull outfit, your shoes and bag will make it work from head to toe.

The second thing you can keep in mind is the texture. If you really love snake skinned shoes, you need to have the similar textured bag as well. Even if your bag is in beige and your heels are in nude shape, they will rock any outfit. You can also find suede shoes and bags in similar colors. This gives you the opportunity to change your entire outfit and make it work. With matching shoes and bags, you will just have to accessorize properly and anything will look great on you.

You can also match your shoes and bags on the basis of prints. For instance, Cheetah print and geometrical prints are very trending these days. You need to purchase similarly printed bags and shoes to incorporate your dresses accordingly. If you don’t think prints will do the job, you can also familiarize shapes. For instance, the loafers will look amazing with box shaped clutches and bags. You can pair tiny bags and clutches with pointed shoes and sandals. The trick is to find similarity in both accessories and adjust your clothes accordingly.
