Mastering the Art of Pattern Play with Etro

Embodying youthful luxury, Etro brings an eccentric energy to stylish silhouettes in the form of print heavy ensembles. As the first pattern in the brand’s rich history, paisley is the pinnacle of Etro’s famed prints. Each season, Etro reinvents its defining paisley into new vibrant motifs adapted into and paired with all the season’s trends du-jour for an eclectic take on modern fashion.

Coming down the runway in busy baroque fabrics layered lavishly on top of each other, this brand’s playful use of patterns can seem impossibly chic — with the keyword being impossible. But, don’t let a loud look intimidate you, and learn to master the art of pairing prints with these tips.

Coordinate your Colors

For a foolproof way to mix and match your patterns choose prints that pull from the same color palette. The common colors will unify your outfit while solid colored separates will anchor it. Uncertain of this daring duo? For a fool-proof combo, try a printed top and patterned sneakers, separated by a pair of denim, so each design has room to breathe.

Stick to a Single Print

The safest way to pair your prints is to go head-to-toe in the same pattern. Create the illusion of a one-piece when you pair a shirt and skirt, for a dress-like look you can break down into other outfits. Take out all the guess work of pattern matching when you try this all over trend in a suit set. Matching a floral pant and jacket looks chic in Etro’s fashion-forward silhouettes. Add patent leather pumps and a boxy clutch to bring structure and sophistication to an otherwise wild ensemble.

Style to Scale

Pair two prints in varying scales, like a large floral and petite paisley, for a pattern-on-pattern look that is easy to wear and just the right amount of daring. Small prints act as a solid, so they work best in the form of bottoms, like a sleek pencil pant. Pair it with a wallpaper printed blouse or a jacquard jacket for an understated eclectic look. Skip jewelry, which will clutter up your chaotic look, and stick to textured accessories like a croc skin clutch.

Break away from the monotony of minimalistic outfits and embrace a more eclectic look with Etro’s head-to-toe paisley-inspired patterns.

Wear Etro like an IT girl when you pile on the prints.
