If there was ever a perfect trend for the eco-conscious woman, the mix and match trend is it! This trend doesn’t need to mean mix and match colour as keeping a limited colour palette helps pieces work together. Though if you are brave enough to clash your colours it can. For those a little more reserved here are a few other mix and match ideas.

Offset different patterns like polka dots with stripes or florals with geometrics. Keeping to a similar aesthetic or colour palette can keep your style look together. Add a dotty pair of statement earrings to contract your other patterns with these copper earrings from Wryght Designs.

Offset different styles like tailored blouses with ripped boyfriend jeans and jewellery bling. Mixing casual style in one piece with formal style in another is a great way to wear some of those ‘fancier’ pieces in your wardrobe that you don’t have lots of occasions to wear. This embroidered skirt from Evyie would look fabulous with a casual white tee and denim jacket, and I guess you could wear it for your corporate thing too…

 

Offset different fabric textures like linens with jersey or wool with silk. This is probably the easiest look to pull out of your existing wardrobe and you can even channel your inner Masterchef with a layering of textures coarse, smooth, silky, heavy, light and crisp. For some vegan bag loving, I adore this cork clutch from By The Sea Collection
