How to Style a Printed Jacket


Five different styling tips for wearing a printed jacket, looking at: theme, cut, and pattern mixing. By Rosa Fairfield.

Go big or go home

The most common way to style this piece would be with a black base or other neutral colour.

If you want something a little different, make a statement - mix it with metallic or fun pieces.


Mixing Prints

I love mixing prints, with this jacket I would opt for a printed skirt with a block colour top, to break up the look.

It is usually best to make sure the print is either a complimentary or contrasting colour.

As this jacket is a contrasting colour with a bright busy pattern, I would pair it with a simple monochrome patterned piece.


Creating a Colour Palette

Examine the printed jacket and pick out similar colours or a colours that would compliment it.

For this look, I have chosen to work with warm colours - which look great for Autumn and feature in this jacket - with cream and gold.



Choosing a theme

This piece can be styled in so many different ways by simply picking a theme.

I have opted for a glam, quirky vibe by adding metallic and fur, but you could easily go for a tribal or boho look.


Working with the cut

This jacket cuts me just bellow the waist, this means skater skirts - or anything that puffs out - would not work, as it would mask my waist, making me have a large, square block shape.

I also wouldn't wear skinny jeans with this. The jacket would cut just above my bum  making it and my thighs appear larger and covering my hourglass waist.

This will be different for you depending on your shape.
