They say you shouldn’t wear more than one trend in a single outfit. We say rules are meant to be broken. We’ve mixed and matched the hottest trends to create these perfect pairs.

 

Tribal + Neutrals

 

The intricate detailing of a colourful bangle (from Forever 21) pops against a sophisticated palette of neutrals (bag from Michael Kors). Bonus points if the texture of the neutral piece picks up the texture of the tribal print.

 

Pastels + Colour-blocking

 

If you really want to trend-blend, create a colour-blocked outfit out of pastel separates. Another way to merge the two trends? Pair pastel shoes (from Aldo) with a colour-blocked bag in pale shades (from Le Chateau).

 

 

Black and White + Graphic Prints

Who says you shouldn’t layer two statement-making looks? Black and white is a wear-anywhere combination that’s just as sharp at the office as it is at the beach (maillot from Aqua La Vie En Rose) and it’s especially eye-catching when worn with printed accessories like these sunglasses (from Aldo).
