Color blocking, mixing different prints, or mixing a solid bottom with a printed top all describe this fun but ecletic look. It’s not that you don’t care about your swimsuit being all properly matched, it’s that you prefer to set a trend. Sometimes not matching simply shows that you’re more adventurous with fashion. As a bonus with this trend you can get mulitple use out of different bikinis: STYLE TIP: COLOR WHEEL: Look to the color wheel when mixing prints and different color tops. It will aid in creating an overall balanced look by following the wheel, even if the colors are contrasting as long as they are direct polar opposites. Here are links to get this look:
