1. Pick a print you love. Whether it is a bird print (below) or a simple polka dot, anything works as long as you love it.
2. Find a sophisticated cut. A lot of the time, prints can make you look sloppy, wider, or childish. To avoid this, look for a ladylike figure like an a-line dress. Structure is always good too.
3. Know when to wear it. For example, a loud, neon zebra top may not be suitable for the office, but prints on the street or for a day out are very chic. A print can spice up a boring outfit. Just choose accordingly.

4. Mixing Prints is serious business. The trick to it is balance. Whether it's a simple cut for one piece and a textured second piece, or a simple print like stripes or dots with a more complex print like floral, textile, or gingham, make sure to balance everything out.

5. Getting match-matchy with prints and colors is fun in a modern way. For example, a beaded golden clutch would go wonderfully with a pair of gold heels!

7. Confidence is key. If you believe that you are rocking it, it will show on your face. Wear those prints with confidence and you will get so many compliments.
