Part 3: “Adding Patterns & Color”
Adding a pattern to an outfit makes a plain outfit interesting! Instead of wearing just a plain black skirt and white top, add a windowpane scarf or a colorful handbag. Here are some popular patterns and color I recommend to make your outfit go from “drab” to “fab”!
Plaid Scarves and Ponchos
Plaid scarves and ponchos are trending now! Plaid is probably the most popular pattern right now, especially on Instagram!
Don’t miss out on these:
Plaid Shirts
Plaid shirts have been popular since last year. They can be worn by themselves in Fall or add a utility vest or blazer when the weather turns cool. In Winter, wear them under a sweater. They look great with pair of white jeans and nude heels in Spring. Buy one plaid shirt and you’ll get your money’s worth by wearing it in many outfits!
Stripes have been a popular pattern for several years. They look great even with other patterns such as plaid and leopard. Here are several striped dresses, striped tees and scarves.
Windowpane
Windowpane is similar to plaid, but is a more wide pattern. It’s typically a black and white color. This pattern looks great by wearing it with just solid colors, looks great with other patterns and also colored pieces, such as a solid color cardigan or colored pants or jeans.
Patterned Bags
Patterned bags make an outfit pop! They can instantly dress up a casual outfit. Here are several patterned bags that would be great for a classic, mixable wardrobe, including several leopard bags!
Colored Bags
Colored bags look great with virtually any outfit! They mix well patterns too, especially patterns that have the same color. I love the color pink and I love these pink bags!
