Back at it with another month of 10 Ways! In the summer months, I’m all about color, prints, and patterns. But sometimes it’s easy for me to fall into the habit of wearing a few of my favorite prints over and over and over again. (Looking at you, stripes and gingham.) I figured I’d share ten outfits full of prints and patterns to inspire you to spice things up over the next few weeks!
1. Feminine Florals
Delicate, feminine floral prints are always a good idea! If you’re like me and tend to always gravitate towards bolder floral prints (like, Lilly dresses!), maybe try a softer hue and more romantic pattern instead.

2. Polished Polka Dots
Polka dots can be fun to print mix with, but I especially love them in a more unexpected, polished outfit. You can go wrong with a subtly dotted blazer!

3. Bold Rugby Stripes
You know I love a good breton striped shirt, but a bold, rugby stripe can be just as great! Let the bold stripes do the talking and keep the rest of your outfit rooted in neutrals. Bonus points for an extra pop of print in your bag!

4. Leopard Print Paired with Black & White
Leopard print can get a bit of a bad rap, but it looks classic and chic (even at the office!) when worn with black and white.

5. Kitchy Summer Prints
From sailboats and lemons, to anchors and watermelons, have fun with your warm-weather prints!

6. Tropical Printed Jumpsuits
Go bold or go home, right? A graphic tropical print is extra fun when worn on a jumpsuit.

7. Goes-With-Everything Gingham
We all love our gingham, but pairing it with olive green and grey is a bit more unexpected!

8. Party-Ready Palm Print
A banana leaf print is a forever classic in my book!
See how I styled the skirt for both day and night here!
9. Camo + Stripes
Navy stripes go with just about everything and they’re the easiest print to mix with, in my opinion! Try pairing your striped tee with a camo jacket for a little bit of juxtaposition.

10. Warm-Weather Plaid Prints
Plaid is one of my favorite prints to wear in the fall and winter, but you can find a few oversized prints that feel just as fresh in the summertime, too.
