Playful Prints

I love all kinds of patterns and prints, so me writing a post about them was well overdue. Fun prints come in a variety of forms, clothing, accessories, shoes etc. Prints can be tough to style, especially when paired with colours – but here I show you how I would style some of my favourite printed pieces alongside colour. 

Firstly, the ever so stunning Gucci skirt. My doll has been wearing this look since the store was released, I am absolutely loving it. This skirt is quite 'busy' on its own so I didn’t want to overwhelm the look by adding additional prints. Instead, I used items which would complement the colours of the skirt – helping to make the skirt the main focal point of the look. Reds, whites, golds, and blacks all heighten the look overall, which I am very pleased with.

A Japanese inspired print on a quirky peplum skirt, it’s none other than Antidote. This gorgeous print was also used on a dress, which sadly sold out before I could get my hands on it, but instead I snatched up this piece. Following the logic applied in the previous look, I wanted to use colours which would complement those already present in the skirt, as it is quite an eye-catching piece on its own. A crisp white blouse directs the eye straight towards the main piece. Using these awesome LE floral sock heels, the yellow and pink colours were accentuated in the overall look. While the sock heels are quite ‘busy’ on their own, when paired with a skirt of similar colours the look isn’t made too overwhelming. 

A red and white striped bag from Runway is quite a tall order to style, but I think I pulled it off with this look. I wanted the bag to be the main focal point of the look, to do so I used similar red and black colours which complement those seen in the bags print. The bag is such a quirky shape, so I feel that on my doll adding more quirky items would become a bit too much. 

Finally, a polka dot dress is a great beginners item when using prints and patterns. Very easy to style with some simple heels and some sunglasses, this look would be complete. However, to spice it up a bit I paired it with some baby blue booties and the newest Fendi backpack, which has red and blue colouring in the flower details.

So, prints aren’t so scary after all. I encourage you to style with prints and see how you get on. Mixing prints, clashing patterns are all super on-trend right now, when done correctly. Give it a go.
