Can you wear checks & stripes together?

Yes you can wear checks and stripes together. Checks can also be worn with florals, polka dots and prints. When wearing checks and stripes balance your prints. Combine a large print with a more small-scale pattern that is similar. Also choose the same color family when combining checks with stripes or checks with florals or polka dots. Proportion or size of a print is very important. Larger prints will draw attention and emphasize the area where you wear them.

Check It Out!

Update Your Look With Stripes
Update your look with stripes! Fashions with stripes are going in all directions and on everything from shoes, handbags, tops, bottoms and dresses, etc. The great thing about stripes is everyone can update their look wearing stripes. Accessories like shoes, scarves, handbags, etc. or clothing that has stripes on trim or accents can give your look an instant fashion update.

Wearing Prints and Patterns
When choosing things to wear, we want to accentuate the positive. The first thing to think about when selecting prints or patterned clothing is the proportion or scale. Large prints will call attention to you and your size. Small women don’t look good in clothing with large prints or patterns. Large women are already noticeable and will just call attention to their size when wearing large prints or patterns. Scale the prints to your size and you’re “good to go.”
