You cannot build a wardrobe on basic solids alone--prints speak to your personality. But smart shoppers say there should be three ways to wear a print before you commit to a purchase. At Plum, we are keen on this kind of math!
1. Mix this print with your basics:
The black and grey print works wonders with your basic blacks, whites and greys: your black skinny yoga jeans, your Plum white button up, a Tobias black pencil skirt. (Think Plum’s Perfect 10).
2. Add a pop of colour:
What’s in your palette? Fuchsia or cobalt blue would make an outfit pop! Coordinate with some solid pieces in bright colours and you have endless fun looks.
Let’s do the math:
black skinny yoga jean + fitted peplum top
cobalt blue skinny jeans + fitted peplum top
fitted peplum top + polka dot pencil skirt
polka dot pencil skirt + fuchsia crossover top
polka dot pencil skirt + classic white button up, etc...
But you can still get two whole different looks with the right accessories...
3. Be wise and accessorize:
For a day look: accessorize the polka dot peplum top and pencil skirt with a layered chain necklace that hits just below the bust--it makes the look long and lean.
With this creative work attire, a portfolio clutch pops in orange and creates a focal point to all-over pattern.
For an evening look: it’s a subtle switch. Show off your shape with some sparkle--an embellished belt is jewellery for your waist.
Focus on the finer details--while a necklace would overwhelm the look, the earrings create balance to the belt. (Needs some inspiration? Check out our Detail Orientated Pinterest board.)
