Today’s outfit post is dedicated to the diversity of stripes! It’s definitely a style trade that doesn’t always come easy and may require a little planning. Which is why today we make a case for one of fashions favorite patterns. STRIPES!

Some fashionistas would say that stripes can pair well with absolutely anything. And from experience, we can confidently say that statement is true. They could be vertical stripes or horizontal stripes. And you can wear them with solids or with more prints. Which ever way you wear it you’re bound to look timeless and fashion forward.

Here are our tips for wearing stripes:

1. CHOOSE YOUR COLOR PALLETE
When wearing multiples prints make sure to choose a color palette to revolve your look around. If you’re wearing Red & Black stripes, make sure you match up your accessories to have a little black and red too.

2. DRESS FOR YOUR BODY TYPE
If you’re going to wear stripes, make sure you wear the right style that will complement you’re body type. If you’ve got curves you can show off, wear horizontal stripes to make you look taller. And if you’re petite and thin, try going for horizontal stripes to give your look some shape.

Pairing patterns, especially of the same style, can be an intimidating task. But stick to these tips and you’ll do just fine. And don’t forget to have fun with it!

Every so often we dare ourselves to try new and bold designs, whether it’s that floral spring dress that caught our eye in the window or a vintage find at a thrift store. What we love most at Fashion Frequency is mixing and matching the exciting with the everyday essentials.

We think it looks super chic when you pair bold and unique pieces with casual items like denim blue jeans. We love the shape and pattern of this Victorian Era & Marie Antoinette inspired blouse. It’s made of rich materials and the color really stands out and will definitely need the perfect piece to complement it. That’s where the denim comes in! We think the blue jeans really bring down the intensity of the top and helps takes us from black tie event to street style chic.

Have you ever wanted to wear two bold prints in one outfits but don’t want to look like you got dressed up in the dark? Well, we’ve got all the tips and tricks to get you wearing prints like a pro. What we often like to say is that anything is possible with fashion. So here are a few tips to get you along your way.

TIP #1 – PLAY WITH SIZE & SCALE. If you’re thinking of rocking plaid on plaid, trying blending oversized check patters with small plaid prints.

TIP #2 – MIX DIFFERENT PRINTS OF THE SAME COLOR. Its okay to mix and match but do so with reason! Mix the prints but match the colors. For example pairing blue florals and blue stripes looks great despite the difference.

TIP #3 – DON’T FORGET THAT TEXTURE COUNTS AS A PRINT. This tip is for those of you who wat to challenge yourself. Blending mixed textures can produce beautiful results as well. Try blending similar silhouettes and shapes together. Like ruffles on ruffles or lace on lace.

TIP #4 – HAVE CONFIDENCE! There is really no right or wrong way to do it. You can pair your patterns all the ways you want, but if you aren’t confident with the look you created….well then where’s the fun in that?
