Mix and Match Clothing and Shoes in Timeless Striped Patterns

Dandy looks incredibly stylish with a striped shirt. The light stripes on the shoes won’t clash as some other prints might. The trick with how to wear patterned shoes paired with a printed top is to add a neutral in between your stripes, like a pair of jeans or white pants. This creates a solid in between your striped shoes and top, preventing you from stripe overload!

 

Coordinate Your Printed Shoes and Your Dress

It might be considered old-fashioned to match your shoes to your dress, but subtle twists make this a contemporary style statement. Here’s how to wear this patterned shoe/dress combo at its best: Pick shoes that are a slightly lighter or darker tone than your dress. For example, light blue printed canvas shoes with a royal blue dress look beautiful and not overdone. 

Especially after you’ve been cooped up inside, it will feel even better to embrace the spring and summer in full color and patterns. Printed sneakers for women shouldn’t be considered a novelty only to be worn on special occasions -- they can be worn just as often as solids. We hope these styling ideas for how to wear patterned shoes inspire you to feel bold and confident in what you wear!
