More Tips
1. If you want to keep it simple: Pair your print with a solid, because too many patterns will only compete for attention.
2. If you want to mix it up: Then at least keep different prints in the same color family to avoid looking messy.
3. If you want to be cutting-edge: Try an abstract print, which gives off a sophisticated—instead of girlie—vibe.
