A fresh take on pattern

Looking to spice up your wardrobe? Try wearing patterned clothing for a quick way to add visual interest to an outfit! Read about these five patterns to discover your best look: 
Polka Dots: Avoid large-print polka dots, as they can look childish and cartoon-y, and focus the attention on the outfit, instead of the person. Stick to small or medium polka dots for a refined look to a classic print.
Floral Print: Floral print is extremely versatile, and able to be worn by women of all ages. Younger women should experiment with larger, louder prints, and middle-aged women should choose smaller, more subdued prints.
Leopard Print: Try adding depth to your outfit by mixing leopard print with loud colors. Wearing a thin leopard print belt over a colorful peplum top or cocktail dress is a great look.
Houndstooth: The phrase “Houndstooth is the new black” was coined for the Fall 2013 fashion season because of its versatility to mix with virtually any color. Want to use it as an accent piece? Wear a houndstooth scarf over your basic black peacoat. Feeling a little more daring? Try a houndstooth mini skirt with a black leather top for a night out on the town.

Chevron: Chevron is a fun pattern that was inspired by 1800 BC Grecian pottery. It’s typically a casual, laid-back print, perfect for daytime looks. Make sure your hair and makeup are kept simple to match the vibe of this dress. Chevron maxi dresses look great with neutral espadrille wedges and nautical jewelry.
