Patterns are making their mark one stars and college Fashionistas across the country. The Grammy Awards were filled with patterns, whether daring like Rihanna or bold like Nicki Minaj, they are making statements.
To jump on this trend you don’t have to go head-to-toe in a crazy pattern, you can start with a single patterned item. This Fashionista chose to sport a solid ensemble and make it pop with black patterned tights. This one simple accessory helped add interest to the muted blacks and grays in her outfit. Her tights create an edgy appearance. She chose the simple route, but she could have played up the pattern by adding a decorative scarf or headband.
You can use a pattern to set the mood for your outfit. If it’s date night, then try something flirty and feminine, like this bag from Anthropologie. For class go boho with this tribal-patterned tote.
If you’re hoping to take this trend to the next level, you can do a subtle pattern all over like LeAnn Rimes or try mixing patterns like this Fashionista from the University of Kentucky.
