The upcoming fall/winter season is going to be on fire with the amazing prints we’ve seen on the runway. Designers have highlighted everything from classic and timeless to vibrant and loud. Our absolute favorite this season? Print mixing. So, dig into your wardrobe to find similar prints so you can match them with something new! Pair a floral tent dress with a completely different conversational blouse or start from scratch and throw all your favorite designs into one print-blocked dress!

Fall Prints and Layering 

Leopard Print 

All leopard print is in, not just the traditional option. We’re even seeing abstract and colorful versions as well!

Plaid 

Tons of plaid are in style, such as gingham, madras, tartan, and Blackwatch plaid!

Checkerboard

For this trend, you’ll want to look at bright or neutral contrasting-colored prints. Some prints can also be multiple colored squares as well!

Houndstooth 

This print will always be in style, whether it’s small houndstooth or big houndstooth. We’re seeing this fall staple on shoes, bags, coats, and scarves!

Patchwork 

Patchwork is a favorite this year and we’re seeing it in every iteration, from bright and bold to those moody earth tones.

Print Mixing

Nervous about mixing prints or stepping out of your comfort zone? Don’t be! It’s 2021 and it’s time to take back what we lost last year while wearing pajamas 24/7. The best way to print mix is to make sure the colors coordinate with each other rather than clash against each other. Even if one print is checkered and the other is floral, it can look amazing!
