Flowers & Stripes
This clash is classic and fun. It is worn for a sweeter, lighter look. For this reason outfits with the mash up are typically daywear. However, if paired correctly, one can stun in the evening. The bright colors pop and the textures range from embroidery to printed silk.

Animal Print & Check
Another classic, bold pairing. This trend typically involves a simple and bright check pattern with an animal print like leopard, snakeskin, zebra, or giraffe.
