avoid mixing equally busy prints, they can become an eyesore quick... the
prints don't have to be the same (i.e. gingham + gingham), but it helps to have a bold print like
these stripe shorts and a smaller print to complement it like the
gingham print of this top.
tie in the
colors, if you're mixing a busier print try to keep the focus on one
color that is prevalent in both prints. in this case, the black and
white stripe is neutural enough to complement the bright pink gingham.
plus stripes are a basic that you can match with almost any print!
