The Secret to Mixing Fashion Trends Without Looking Overdone

As we get ready to break out our toes, it's time to warm up and practise your Boss Friction Formula.
 

Let's take a look at the stylish friction happening in the outfits below.
 

You'll see camo Bermuda shorts (those knee-length shorts that finish around the knee) paired with striped polo tops, and camo shorts and pants teamed with graphic tees.

At first glance, these pieces might seem like they're competing with each other but look closely at what's been added to create that beautiful balance between masculine and feminine...
 

• Necklaces

• Earrings

• Handbags
   

These little feminine details completely change the conversation.
 

Then we have blazers with denim Bermuda shorts (or jorts, as they're now being called), heeled thongs, oversized sunnies (red is a huge trend right now!) and cute handbags.
 

Here's the thing... Nothing matches.
 

And that's exactly why it works.
 

There are contrasts everywhere.
 

Relaxed with polished. Masculine with feminine. Structured with casual. Pretty with practical.
 

On paper, it might sound like it should look completely wrong.
 

Which is precisely why it looks so very right!

This is friction.
 

It's the little bit of tension between pieces that stops an outfit from feeling predictable, flat or too "done."
 

Once you understand how to create that friction intentionally, you'll stop trying to make everything match and start creating outfits with personality, interest, and effortless style.
 

And that's when getting dressed becomes really fun.
