I’ve clearly been a fan of plaid for some time now, examples 1, 2, and 3, and with print-mixing being my favourite trend of 2013, I thought I’d have some fun with this pattern. When experimenting with combining different prints it is important to look at size ratios. You want to create something interesting for the eye to bounce between with contrast. So look at mixing small, medium and large sized prints.
