How to mix prints without losing the outfit

The strongest print combinations are not necessarily the loudest. Start by finding one shared colour, then vary the scale. A large Ankara motif can sit beside a smaller check or stripe when the palette gives the eye somewhere to rest.

Use the 70–30 rule

Let one print control roughly seventy per cent of the look. Use the second as an accent through a sleeve, panel, scarf, bag or aso oke detail. This keeps the outfit intentional rather than accidental.

Give the prints a neutral frame

Black, ivory, navy, denim or a warm skin-tone neutral can separate two energetic fabrics. The neutral does not weaken the outfit; it gives the print more authority.

Keeping Ankara, lace and embellishment beautiful

Good garment care is not complicated, but different materials need different treatment. Always begin with the care note supplied on the product page.

Ankara and printed cotton

Wash cold, separate strong colours and dry away from harsh direct sun. Turn the garment inside out before ironing to protect the print surface.

Lace, net and beading

Avoid friction and crowded wardrobes. Use a breathable garment cover, padded hanger and professional cleaning for heavily embellished pieces.

Tweed and structured garments

Brush away surface dust, air after wear and dry clean only when necessary. Frequent aggressive cleaning can shorten the life of structured fabrics.
