Are you in a fall slump? Has the weather changed, meaning you now have to wear big, bulky and boring clothing everywhere? Wrong. Well, the climate may have altered, but that does not mean you have to cover up in unfashionable dressings from last years closet. If you want to stand out this season, try something new. Don’t grab for that big, itchy, neutral sweater that drowns you. Reach for something outside of your comfort zone.
That’s right, if you want to amp up your look and really make an impression, I think we all know what you need in your wardrobe. Prints! Take any plain Jane outfit, add a print or pattern and you’ll killing the fashion game. Whether you’re going to work, out for drinks, or heading to the store, here are some of our favorite looks for the season that will make you stand out instead of slump around.
Tops
Ah, yes. Pattern tops. The article of clothing that can define your style. This look is best for women with a smaller chest or narrow shoulders and a wider waist. Printed or patterned tops hide your hip area while balancing out your figure. Anyone can rock a printed top.
Bottoms
Now, if you possess a larger chest or broad shoulders, then you might want to try an outfit like this. Pants like these bring the attention away from your chest and create a hip line for you. Beware of prints that can make you look like a sofa. Fitted pants and palazzo pants work best so steer clear of boot legged pants.

Scarves
The easiest way to ease into prints and patterns is by adding a scarf to a classic outfit. If you think the accessory is too much for you, tie the scarf to your purse’s strap when you arrive to work. Wearing things out of your comfort zone can be scary at first, but starting small can help you further your journey into bigger and better patterns.
Shoes
When you think of fall, you probably think of oranges and browns, blacks and navy. Those colors are not always happy ones. Bring some cheer into your fall closet with kicks like these by adding a little flare to your feet.
Hats
Brighten up your day with a pop of color on your head. Hats can even cover a bad hair day. A two for one!
Handbags
Have to wear neutrals while you wash your prints? No worries! You can always level up your look with a colorful handbag.
