Have you ever been to a mismatched theme party during school or at your workplace? Don’t be so surprised; mismatched parties are pretty real, and they’re totally fun!

For people who are unaware of the concept, allow us to enlighten you. The primary motive behind mismatched parties is to put on clothes, colors, or accessories that do not complement each other. The whole idea is completely opposite to what we think is fashion and style.

Now, what if we told you that mismatched outfits were the new fashion trend? Yep, we see those raised eyebrows.

The mismatch is a peculiar trend in which you can’t just throw on an outfit and call it a day. It requires several trials and errors to find that one perfect outfit. After the monochromatic-minimalist fashion season, incorporating exciting prints, bold colors, and subtle textures all in a single outfit can be a little disorienting at first. We get it! But there are some really easy tips through which you can make such a quirky palette work.

So, if you’re new to this trend, these tips will help you curate some truly trendy mismatched OOTDs.

#1 – Try mixing colors from the same family

Sounds a little odd but don’t worry, this tip works wonders! Look at the color of your bottom wear and find a top that belongs to the same color palette or vice versa. Didn’t get that? No problemo! Here’s help – if you’re planning on wearing brown corduroy pants, look for an upper that falls in the same color family, like light tones of brown or even beige. As weird as it sounds, you’ll totally be in vogue with this one!

#2 – Drop the same old matching lengths

Another fun and interesting way to style your clothes is wearing them in different lengths. For example, wear a cropped leather jacket with a pleated long skirt. Varying lengths is a smart idea to draw attention away from your problematic areas like stomach, thighs, and hips. Not to shame any body type, but if you consider any part of your body less attractive, you can try out this tip.

#3 – Play with textures

The key to achieving an outstanding mismatched outfit is to scout your entire closet and make the best use out of every clothing texture you can find. By tweaking the textures, we mean that pair two different types of clothing materials at the same time. For instance, try pairing a chunky oversized sweater with a flirty skirt and there you go! Perfect spring outfit!
