You have the art of print-mixing mastered at this point, right? But it’s tricky to coordinate similar, but not identical graphics—like variegated stripes—into one chic outfit. That said, as Olivia Palermo showed us at the couture shows in Paris, it can be done (and look absolutely stunning, too.) Here, a few takeaways that’ll help you pull off this bold, look-at-me outfit.

Go For Vertical Stripes

Romwe Striped Shirt, $13

They elongate your frame and streamline things in just the right way.

Embrace Structure And Neutral Color

H&M Wide Leg Pants, $35

Tailored silhouettes and a neutral color palette keeps your head-to-toe print looking polished and refined.

Try A Strappy Black Heel

DVF Strappy Sandal, $350

When wearing bold prints from head to toe, make sure to keep your accessories minimal.

Add Cool-Girl Shades

Dior Sunglasses, $595

Personality-packed sunglasses give the look a I'm-a-boss feel that's right on point.

Travel Light

Vianel Lizard Phone Case, $110

Nothing can ruin great outfit like a gigantic bag. Ditch yours altogether or opt for a small, structured cross-body or clutch.
