Trend Alert: Pattern Mixing!!

 

While browsing the NYFW's street styles, we spotted another major trend, Pattern Mixing! Bold and subtle patterns have been seen in many big maison's runway shows the past couple seasons, and they returned for SS12 as well. This trend is just fun to look at, and it's simply great to be able to have two favorite patterns in one look! Let's get started with familiar prints like stripes, florals, and dots, and on the top you can basically put any other print you like, such as animal, tribal, abstract, and geometric. These brave fashionistas in the top image are mixing unique patterns and playing! Here are couple of looks, suggested by Aloha Rag.
