Welcome to the Chasing Cait Classic Collection. While I’m off GETTING MARRIED (exciting!) I’ll be revisiting some of my best posts from the past (but don’t worry, they are still useful and relevant to you!).

I’ll still be online sporadically (I’ve loved that word ever since Cher used it in Clueless – you with me?) and I’ll be checking in on Facebook from time to time so please still comment and share and like!

I’ll be back with some exciting new content from Feb 4th, but until then, sit back, relax, and enjoy the Classic Collection. Cait xoxo

Now this is definitely not a trend up everyone’s alley – as with all trends, only do it if you like it and it suits you!

Saying that, I think print clashing is kinda fun and fashion should be fun so why not give it a go!

Ok, so now I’ve convinced you to give it a go, here are some of my expert tips on HOW to get that print clash looking stylish (and not like you got dressed in the dark…. it’s a fine line people!)

1. Start Small

And by that I don’t mean small prints, I mean start with a textured fabric as one of your “prints”. This lace over-tee from Kmart pulls on the black in the print of the pants, without clashing too much

SHOP THE CLASH: Kmart top (in store now Aus and NZ) | Sussan printed pants | Country Road shoes (old season)

2. Use colour to tie the print together

Whether it’s a simple black and white print clash like this top and pants, or the brighter colours below, COLOUR is always a great way to tie your prints together.

I’M WEARING: Jeanswest tee (current season) | boohoo.com pants | Country Road wedges

The blue stripe in the tee mirrors the blue in the skirt, so it ties the two prints together. The stripe is also quite a simple, small print, vs the big bold print of the skirt which helps them work together too.

I’M WEARING: Piper skirt (on sale now) | Miss Shop tee both from Myer | Joanne Mercer heels (current season)

3. Use similar shapes in the print

Even though both these prints seem pretty full on, they have a similar shape, with the leaf/tree motif, so they work together. The black colour in both prints also helps too.

So there are a few examples of how to print clash with some tips to go with them.

Is this a style you’ll be giving a go? I’d love to see pics! Post them on my Facebook wall – share the love 🙂

In Style & Love Always
