the low down - Patterns

They say you shouldn't mix patterns, but every rule has exceptions, these are some of them-:

• Something like a big floral print skirt or plaid pants is best balanced with a plain top, but a small polka-dot with colours of the same hues or shade also works. Or even a shadow stripe tee. (shadow stripe is just stripes in one colour with a darker shade stripe of the same colour, making it look like a shadow)
• Another thing that works well with a big print is a plain top with some detailing at the neckline to add some interest, like this one, after all, the pattern is at the bottom of the tank, not the top!

• Plaid shorts are really popular these days and an interesting change from the usual is like i said above a detailed neckline or... A CUTE GRAPHIC TEE! with a background colour that picks up a colour or goes with a colour in the plaid, you've got something cute and interesting.

Now you've got the low down!
