The most suitable prints for men: small with an orderly pattern and low brightness.
Techniques for combining prints
One piece of clothing with a print and a print in the accessories are taken. For example, a striped shirt and a striped neckerchief.
The print can be an accent only in accessories. In a business style, it can be a tie and shoes, and in a street style - a bright bag and panama.
Prints should match the overall color scheme. For example, blue checked pants, blue striped shirt.
Prints from the same group (geometric or floral), but in different sizes. For example, a large strip is combined with a smaller one.
Prints of the same group, but different types, for example, check and flat.
Prints can be related in color to each other or to other elements of the image.
Small and soft prints are combined with each other. Two neutral prints in the image will speak of a sense of style, and not a desire to shock and stand out. And if there is a desire to shock, then prints are the most important for this purpose.
One print in the image can be neutral, for example, a striped T-shirt, and the other accent, for example, a kimono in a flower.
The image can have two accent prints at once, but they must be combined in color, shape or size. For example, large bear heads and a black cage or yellow cage on trousers and flowers on a yellow shirt background.
Today vests are back in fashion, the vertical strip of the vest is combined with a floral print. This combination will look great at the resort if you put on a Hawaiian shirt on top of the vest while walking.
Body shaping with prints
Prints can adjust the figure. For example, a harmonious male figure is broad shoulders and narrow hips, so if there is no excess weight, then we use a horizontal strip at the top of the image, and let the trousers be in a narrow vertical strip. Or you can put on a shirt in a large cage, and pants in a small one, because the size of the print also matters. An abstract print will also increase.
There are no people who would not be suitable for clothes with a pattern, unless the print contradicts the nature of your style, that is, the personification of the image does not correspond to the character. So a brutal personality does not fit a shirt in a small flower of pastel colors. And a romantic man doesn't need to wear a dramatic leopard.
A print, especially a contrasting one, brings attention to itself, if a beautiful face is your plus, then you do not need to wear a painted shirt, we lower the print farther from the face.An active print can be neutralized, dispersed with a white T-shirt or turtleneck, that is, we put on a plain turtleneck under a jacket in a bright cage or a white T-shirt under an ethnic cardigan. A printed shirt does not need to be buttoned up.
If you have a contrasting appearance, for example, dark hair, blue eyes, or, conversely, black eyes and blonde hair, then you can wear clothes in bright colors, muted colors are suitable for a faded appearance.
A print can visually make soft facial features more brutal, for this, wear geometric colors in the portrait area. If on the contrary - you need to soften the strong-willed chin, then choose a print with soft lines.
