How do you choose the right pattern?
1. Know your figure: Pay attention to which patterns emphasise your strengths and show off your silhouette to advantage.
2. Think about the impression you want to make: Patterns can send different messages – from romantic and playful to strong and dominant.
3. Colour harmony: Make sure that the colours of the patterns harmonise to create a coherent overall look.
4. Less is more: Keep the rest of the outfit simple if you are wearing an eye-catching pattern to put the focus on the pattern. However, if you are the type of person who likes to stand out, combine different patterns. Here, opposites attract: large and small patterns create depth and interest.
5. Try out different things: Sometimes you don’t discover the perfect pattern until you’ve tried it on. Be open to new things and have fun! These tips will give you a good direction, but are no substitute for expert style consultation.
