Fashionistas everywhere are wearing prints on prints, and the bolder, the better. Finally, we can throw out the notion of <em>clashing<\/em> and pair unlikely combos to our hearts&#8217; content. This season, the pattern mentality is definitely &#8220;more is more.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our more subdued fashionistas, you don&#8217;t have to sit this one out. Get in on the pattern trend with a single patterned piece, flanked by solids. Or go matchy-matchy with identical prints from top to bottom, including your accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahead, check out some of the hottest prints to wear right now according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opulentjewelers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Opulent Jewelers<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><g id=\"wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\" fill=\"none\" clip-path=\"url(#clip0_31_188)\">\r\n                            <path d=\"M9.16724 14.8891L20.1672 3.88908\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M13.4497 3.53554L20.5208 3.53554L20.5208 10.6066\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M17.5 13.5L17.5 16.26C17.5 17.4179 17.5 17.9968 17.2675 18.4359C17.0799 18.7902 16.7902 19.0799 16.4359 19.2675C15.9968 19.5 15.4179 19.5 14.26 19.5L7.74 19.5C6.58213 19.5 6.0032 19.5 5.56414 19.2675C5.20983 19.0799 4.92007 18.7902 4.73247 18.4359C4.5 17.9968 4.5 17.4179 4.5 16.26L4.5 9.74C4.5 8.58213 4.5 8.0032 4.73247 7.56414C4.92007 7.20983 5.20982 6.92007 5.56414 6.73247C6.0032 6.5 6.58213 6.5 7.74 6.5L11 6.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                        <\/g>\r\n                        <defs>\r\n                            <clipPath id=\"clip0_31_188\">\r\n                                <rect fill=\"white\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\"\/>\r\n                            <\/clipPath>\r\n                        <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.

If you love living on the edge with fashion, go ahead and layer busy prints and bright colors to your heart\u2019s content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"255\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-5be9917026a63.jpg\" alt=\"Woman wearing plaid patterned dress\" class=\"wp-image-119633\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-5be9917026a63.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Webp.net-resizeimage-4-5be9917026a63-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d rather dip your toe in this trend, try wearing buffalo checks on top and black and stripes on bottom (or vice versa) for a clean look that\u2019s still super modern. Or, switch it up by wearing this typically casual style on something a little dressier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glen plaid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/glen-plaid.png\" alt=\"Glen plaid coat\" class=\"wp-image-119656\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/glen-plaid.png 679w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/glen-plaid-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of glen plaid as plaid\u2019s more sophisticated, older cousin. This pattern is made with thinner lines that create subtler checks, making it easy to incorporate into other looks. Glen plaid is polished enough to be worn to the office, but can be jazzed up with other prints and accessories \u2014 a true wardrobe staple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Animal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheetah, leopard, zebra\u2026there\u2019s no better way to show off your wild side than with a pop of animal print! This is another one that can be worn with other patterns, or by itself. First-time wearers may want to try one piece at a time (think: leopard print shoes or purse, snakeskin print blouse, etc.). Once you&#8217;re comfortable, try wearing the same motif on top and bottom for a bold, on-trend look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still a little gun shy? Try channeling your inner beast with a fierce piece of bling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"516\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tiger-striped-earrings.png\" alt=\"Tiger Striped Earrings\" class=\"wp-image-119657\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tiger-striped-earrings.png 516w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tiger-striped-earrings-300x186.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opulentjewelers.com\/shop\/jewelry\/earrings\/cartier-tiger-stripe-gold-hoop-enamel-earrings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cartier Tiger Stripe Gold Hoop Enamel Earrings<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pinstripe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pin-striped-jacket.jpg\" alt=\"Woman wearing pinstripe jacket\" class=\"wp-image-119658\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pin-striped-jacket.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pin-striped-jacket-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pin-striped-jacket-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Pinstripes aren\u2019t just for business suits this year \u2014 they\u2019re also running down the sides of denim!
