Mixing Patterns and Textures: A Beginner’s Guide

Afraid of mixing patterns? Not sure how to combine different textures? Don’t worry! Even fashion beginners can master these skills with a few simple tips from Jovimix.

Start Small With Patterns

If you’re new to mixing patterns, begin with just two:

• Choose one main pattern (like stripes or florals)
• Add a smaller, simpler pattern (like tiny dots or a thin stripe)
• Keep them in the same color family for an easy win!

For example, our Striped Comfort Tee looks great with our Small Dot Scarf when both share blue or black colors.

The Scale Rule

The secret to mixing patterns is varying their size:

• Pair a large, bold pattern with a smaller, more delicate one
• This creates balance and keeps your outfit from looking too busy

Our Floral Maxi Skirt (big pattern) works perfectly with our Micro-Check Top (small pattern).

Treat Stripes Like a Neutral

Stripes, especially black and white or navy and white, can work with almost any other pattern! Think of them as a neutral base for experimenting.

Texture Mixing Made Easy

Textures add depth to your outfit even when you’re wearing solid colors:

• Pair something smooth (like our Silky Blouses) with something textured (like our Knit Cardigans)
• Mix something soft (like our Plush Sweaters) with something more structured (like our Denim Jackets)

The Neutral Buffer

Not confident yet? Add a neutral piece between patterns or textures:

• Wear a solid-colored top between a patterned cardigan and patterned pants
• Use a simple belt to separate a textured top from a patterned bottom

Remember, fashion rules are meant to be broken once you understand them! Start with these guidelines, then experiment to find your personal style.
