I must confess math was not my strong suit in school, especially geometry. Back in my teens, my knowledge of theorems was questionable and I never liked proving triangles were matching, so I was quite surprised when I found myself this season drawn to pieces that are very geometric, and I can’t believe I’m saying it, have a mathematical feel too! Designers and retailers have put a fresh twist on bold geometric patterns that make use of diamonds, squares, circles, hexagons, lines and other shapes, which result in an acutely stylish outcome. Feeling obtuse about this trend? Whether you choose to wear a top, dress, or pair of shorts, I have pulled out my fashion guide to ensure that you pass this season’s geometric prints with flying colors. So take note, because these 3 steps will get you an A+ for style!
STEP #1 AVOID UNECESSARY VARIABLES
So how do you wear the geometric trend without looking like an unsolved math equation? No problem, the first tip is to stick to one print. Whether you choose to sport this print in a top, jumpsuit, romper, skirt, shorts, or dress, such as I did, sticking to one print allows for versatility and harmony within your look. Designating one print as your focal point versus two prints creates a more modern and clean look. Like an unbalanced equation, throwing another variable to the mix often results in a big a blur to your look resulting in an inability to solve for the missing X- the right accessory. Don’t over complicate your fashion equation by throwing in unnecessary variables, stick to one variable, and that way you won’t find yourself in a stump!
STEP#2 DECODE THE PRINT
After you choose the key item you will be sporting it’s important to analyze the print and take into consideration the colors and shapes. These key factors will dictate how you build the rest of your look. For example, if you are dealing with a print that has more than two colors I recommend pairing it with neutral color separates or accessories. On the other hand, if your dealing with a print that has only two colors, such as the one that I wore above, target accessories that are going to contrast. I did exactly that by wearing red heels to contrast the blue/white pattern, which created more pop, and dimension to my overall look.
STEP #3 ADD A RIGHT ANGLE
No look is completely finished, until you give your stamp of approval! Since geometric prints can be quite fashion forward to pull off, you can add a bit of flair to your look by usually tweaking or adding an accessory. Go back to Step 2, and see where you can add a trend that you are drawn to. Make sure this trend reflects your personal taste. I did just that by wearing tribal themed triangle shaped gold earrings and a gold tribal inspired cuff. Keep in mind with geometric prints since it’s so eye catching, it’s best to select jewelry in gold or silver finishes, while avoiding jewelry that contains too much embellishment, such as rhinestones or heavy beading.
