3 Simple Rules For Mixing Patterns | Pattern Mixing 101

About this video

Sacawa teaches three foundational rules for mixing patterns in menswear: selecting two different pattern types (stripes, dots, or checks), varying the scale of each pattern, and pairing one bold pattern with one subtle pattern to create visual balance. He emphasizes these are guidelines rather than rigid rules, and advocates using personal instinct alongside these principles.

Key takeaways

• Sacawa recommends choosing two different types of patterns from the three main categories: stripes, dots, and checks
• Sacawa argues that varying the size and scale of patterns is essential to make them complementary rather than competing
• Sacawa advises pairing one bold pattern with one subtle pattern to create a clear focal point and avoid visual clash
