One of the simplest ways to mix patterns is to layer patterns with two different scales. Pairing a small-scale print with a large-scale pattern allows the smaller scale to work as a neutral. In this way, a skirt with a tiny floral print can work with a large-format plaid flannel for a grunge look.

Can you wear two different patterns?

Stay within the same color palette and tones. The thing that makes pattern mixing work is pairing two patterns together with similar colors. Along with that, match tones when pattern mixing. Pair neutrals with neutrals and bold prints with other bold prints, otherwise your bold will overtake your neutral pattern.

Can you wear a patterned shirt with patterned pants?

Color coordinate!

Always make sure all the colors in your outfit look good together. When wearing patterned bottoms pick out one color from the pattern and match it to your shirt or accessories.
