How To Pair Geometric Prints

When you're pairing two compelling and contrasting geometric prints, it makes sense to keep the colors in the same family (black and white, here) and to keep the lighter version of the top and the darker on the bottom (easily a more flattering combo). Always infuse a bit of color where you can with a pop of an accessory, here with matching bag and shoes that don't feel too matchy-matchy, but a nice touch. The effect is crisp without looking too rigid.
