3. Match your pants with prints
If your shirt will be on the busier side, then you may be unsure about the color of your pants. If you select colorful pants, make sure to match the color with the print of the shirt, as they should both complement each other.
4. Prints that match your personality
Any print, pattern or shade that you choose, your style should match with your personality. Color should also complement your skin tone when selecting prints and patterns.
5. Accessorize printed shirts accordingly
Deciding the correct print or pattern style is not enough. Choosing the right accessories is the best way of styling your shirts.
Lacing up shoes and sneakers are ideal footwear that can be paired with any casual attire.
6. Enter neutral territory
One great thing about floral prints is there are multi colors involved which will balance out the main color, whether it is bold or subtle. Try to counteract contrast color with any neutral counterparts.
For example, a white base black floral printed shirt should match up with black denim/jeans and white sneakers to complete his style.
7. Layering your shirt
Wearing a black denim or jean jacket will add a masculine flair to your white and black floral pattern. Also complementing textures is key. You may even prefer a sport jacket/blazer.
