3 WAYS TO WEAR CLASHING PRINTS

Animal prints are bigger than ever this season, and the Paris couture shows in July provided us with ample certainty that the best way to wear prints right now is by throwing them all in a sartorial mixing bowl and clashing them to your heart's content. From scarf-print satin dresses to tartans and tiger prints, we decode the best ways to clash this season. Be bold and brave —and if in doubt, remember: the less coordinated, the better. 

Race to the top of the style stakes this season with the classic checkerboard print. Usually associated with fast cars and skate shoes, the striking monochrome pattern is best mixed with bright florals to give it a bit of zing. Simple sneakers bring it back down to earth and give it an urban edge, while the basket bag adds an extra feminine touch. Finish off the look with a futuristic pair of sunnies — ready, set, go. 

Co-ords don't always have to be coordinated. This cute argyle-knit three piece is as versatile as they come — simply team the tank and cardie with a pair of leopard-print pants and you've got yourself a whole new look.
