The Most Flattering Fashion Styles For Women In Their 20s

Many aspects of your 20s will be full of trial and error, wardrobe included. Don't be afraid to think outside of the style box, and toss traditional fashion rules out of the window. Chances are, at some point in your life (or at many), you've been warned against rocking loud prints and patterns. Well, imagine rocking not one, but two patterns — or more! To pull off this look, recycle the color-blocking tip from earlier and go for prints in matching colors. 

The perfect starting point for mix-and-match beginners is to incorporate more basics with black-and-white patterns into your wardrobe (via StyleCaster). This pattern can function as a neutral piece. 

According to Buzzfeed, stripes are another neutral print, which means that you can absolutely wear them with your favorite floral skirt. Bonus if both prints share a color in common. Stripes are timeless and come in so many different variations that finding one that flatters your body type will be effortless (via Editorialist).
