 Mixing different prints is a key look for SS2011 but it is not as simple as just choosing any old prints and hoping for the best. Follow the tips below on how to mix them successfully to avoid looking like a fashion victim.1. Stay consistent Look for two prints that have a common factor. It could be that a similar shape has been repeated in both prints (see Lanvin below), or the two prints are of the same form e.g. two floral prints (see D&G below) or two differently sized leopard prints (see Blumarine below).  Lanvin SS2011  D&G SS2011  2. Repeat the same pattern in different colours or sizes You may choose two striped patterns but on different scales, as on the Prada runways below, or you might choose a vertical stripe paired with a horizontal stripe like the Jill Sander shows.

Look for two patterns that harmonise in terms of colour Mixing two patterns can sometimes be enough of a statement without having contrasting colours added into the mix as well. Look for two prints that have colours from the same family or palette e.g. all soft colours, all light colours, all deep colours etc., depending on your skin tone.
