When wearing prints go for low contrast pattern in soft autumn colors with small soft motifs like florals. Stir away from harsh motifs like large, geometric or ordered patterns. When styling outfits go for blending colors and values, rather than creating contrasts. Monochromatic looks with slightly different shades of the same hue look great on you. More on styling monochromatic looks. Avoid color blocking with complimentary colors. Rather go for analogous color combinations.
