How to Wear the Art Inspired Clothing Trend

You don’t need to visit an art gallery to see some of the most beautiful paintings. Designers love to blur the lines between art and fashion, and the result is living, walking art-inspired clothing — the bolder and brighter the prints, the better.

As exciting as this trend is, it can seem not easy to translate into day-to-day life. But you don’t need to wear a Mona Lisa to make your fashion masterpiece! Just follow these simple guidelines:

1. Create a Focal Point

The easiest way to incorporate this trend into your everyday look? Please choose an item of clothing in an artistic print as your focal point and build around it. From geometric styles to brushstroke ones, or even images that echo great works of art, artsy photos make great wow pieces. Pair them with a solid-color piece in a bold hue from the print to create a balanced, futuristic, and oh-so-artistic look.

2. Make it Monochrome

If you like the idea of an artsy print, but all that color seems a bit overwhelming, why not start with black and white? This classic color combo is always chic and easier to wear since neutrals always look more sophisticated and mature than a Crayola box of color which can be trickier to pull off.

3. Get Artsy With Accessories

If a full-fledged, sculptural skirt or Matisse-print top seems too daunting for you, try a handbag in a bold, a scarf, or maybe even your shoes. These allow your look to have an artistic element without being too aggressive. Pair them with anything and everything in your closet to give off a carefree vibe.

5. Keep it Casual

Art-inspired prints can look dramatic and intimidating or fun and playful. If you want to try the look less serioulsy,  try a painted tee, or pair of jeans on the weekend, just for fun.
