Patterns come in all shapes and sizes. The key is in being able to put together a color pallet. First start off with a color of your choice then decide on the pattern. Treat small patterns as a single, solid color.
I love the look in this picture. A yellow print top against a red and white checkered pant. The printed top in treated as a solid color as the pattern on the pant stand out for its boldness.
The colors are beautifully put together as they compliment each-other.
Color blocking is nothing new. We've all done it and continue to do so. For a great, bold look, try mixing and matching opposite colors. Warms and cools, darks and lights. A color wheel would be a perfect tool to achieve this look.
