Let's Get Messy: The Art of Clashing Textures

Expand your styling options with print on print on print.

There’s a magical energy one captures when daring to wear layer upon layer of bedazzling fabrics. Somehow your wardrobe seems instantly expanded with options given you are no longer restrained by the mundane task of matching. It’s utterly liberating when getting messy with prints and textures, like throwing two absolutely opposing pieces together (say floral on floral) without a second-thought and effortlessly it looks great.

Take cues from clashing queen, Parisian fashion consultant Chloé Harrouche, she opts for structured shapes with a burst of bold prints and patterns, like a neon plaid blazer over a fuchsia sweater and snakeskin midi-skirt. Or a tropical shirt over stripe trousers. That’s the brilliance of mismatching it’s basically impossible to get wrong. Tweed, leopard, polka dots, zebra and paisley - take your pick n’ mix.
