FROCKOLOGY Style Tip:

When wearing a bold graphic print it is always best to keep your accessories bold as well. Keep the print on the down low when working with accessories mixed with a graphic print. Keep it close to solid with a pop of strong color which will immediately makes it as graphic as the print. Mix it or match it but keep it strong and above all enjoy it.

Frockology Style Tip:
When working bold or graphic prints always remember that proportion is the key to a successful look. If the print is predominantly square then make the accessories more rounded and vice verse. You get the idea, contrast is always key to a graphic look.
