Prints Charming: 21 Foolproof Ways to Mix Patterns

With fashion, when you think “mismatched” you probably think “faux pas,” right? Well, here at Brit + Co, we have our glasses half full and our stripes paired with our florals. Who needs rules anyway, amirite? If you too always find yourself scoping out daring style mavens who pull off those effortlessly chic, pattern-rich looks you’re so dying to re-create, then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got the scoop on how you can mix plaids, stripes, polka dots and even animal print in a strategic and oh-so-chic way that will have all eyes (and lenses) on you! By the time you’re done checking out these 21 style tips they’ll be calling you Miss Mix-a-Lot.

1. Blue Crush: If you’re feeling a little nervous about taking the print plunge try meshing different textures, keeping within the same color palette. Don’t forget to flip your hair and smile for the camera! (via Refinery29)

2. Rad in Plaid: These two looks are proof that plaid is one versatile print. Pair this almost identical plaid chiffon skirt ($128) with flirty florals for a fresh look, or try plaid-on-plaid for a grunge-tastic ensemble. (via Who What Wear)

3. The Breakup: Worried about your prints clashing? Try this styling tip: break up your outfit with a chunky, solid belt. This glam, gold buckled one from MICHAEL Michael Kors ($38) should do the trick! (via Popsugar)

4. Cozy Layers: Envious of Kate Foley’s flawless layers that are no doubt keeping her toasty during cold weather months? Steal her style with this duo of tough camouflage ($29) and feminine polka dots ($121). (via Harper’s BAZAAR)

5. ’90s Twist: Channel your inner ’90s kid with an ode to daisies the next time you’re thinking of mixing prints á la curvalicious blogger, Assa. (via My Curves & Curls)

6. Now Trending: Don’t be afraid to incorporate other trends into your look, like socks with heels and round sunglasses. (via Popsugar)

7. Girlish Charm: This look screams Sunday brunch in Paris, down to her striped Mary Janes. To recreate this effortlessly chic look you only need to remember one tip: Keep things playful. Oh, and pick up this Mary Kate and Ashley-approved skirt while you’re at it ($185). (via Who What Wear)

8. Seeing Stars: Wearing anything bejeweled (hello third grade art class!) can be a huge sartorial risk, even more so when its two mates are a star emblazoned blouse ($24) and bright fringe clutch ($275). Take a risk, or three and try this high-fashion patriotic look. You might be surprised at what falls together. (via Style.com)

9. Feeling Feline: Alone, a skin tight leopard mini can be a little too risqué, but combined with a vibrant jacket it’s a-okay. We’re totally copying everything about this sexy outfit for our next date night. And kudos to this foxy lady for pulling this off during the day. Meow! (via Elle)

10. Office Talk: All work and no play makes for one terribly blasé outfit. Do like blogger extraordinaire, Blair Eadie, and leave your print-clashing worries behind with this striped Proenza Schouler sweater ($331) and totally sophisticated polka dot pencil skirt ($46). (via Atlantic-Pacific)

11. The Garden Party: Head-to-toe florals are a bold choice. Give your summer ensemble a boost with twice the amount of floral prints. The secret to achieving this look? Mix up dark and light colors and keep the rest of your accessories low-key. (via I Love Garlic Bread)

12. Getting Graphic: You can always count on black and white separates for a chic look, even when it comes to pattern play.We love how Aimee Song coupled her of-the-moment windowpane topper ($275) with this embellished diamond-print skirt and killer lace-up heels ($65). (via Gastro Chic)

13. One Piece Wonder: If you’re looking for the ultimate intro to mixing prints take it one splash at a time with a pre-mixed piece like this haute skirt from Clover Canyon ($182). (via Who What Wear)

14. Keep it Together: Pattern-centric combos don’t always have to be “quirky,” the shades of purple make this look sophisticated enough for the office and casual enough to hit the streets. (via Harper’s BAZAAR)

15. Serious Print Mixing: Now this is how you make vibrant graphic prints look sleek! Top everything off with a classic camel coat and gorgeous hair! Plus, we found the EXACT floral skirt ($138) seen on blogger Eleonora Carisi. (via Ali Express)

16. Neutral Leopard: This is expert styling at its finest, from the dose of leopard in her button-up to the subtle designs in her track-style shorts. We guess Jenna Lyons was right, leopards really are a neutral. (via Popsugar)

17. Pucker Up: We can’t help but fall head-over-heels for this smooch-print blouse and ombré checkered bottoms. Get the look with this funky ChicNova blouse ($22) that looks almost identical to the Saint Laurent version for a fraction of the cost! (via Style.com)

18. Eclectic Stripes: The key thing to remember when mixing prints is not what matches, but rather, what pairs well together. This punchy-hued skirt ($228) and silky striped blouse ($258) come together with statement-making accessories. (via Blog Da Thassia)

19. Daytime Chic: Wondering what to wear to summer brunch or that last minute coffee date? We think something similar to her striped chambray mini dress ($58) and brilliant floral blazer would look smashing. Don’t forget the metallic gold sandals, too. (via On the Racks)

20. Next-Level Suit: Gingham prints can be tricky to pull off as they can easily resemble a farmhouse tablecloth. So, we were delighted when we spotted this street style shot of a two-piece gingham look that is, get this, paired with a tangerine-print shirt! Talk about country chic. (via Paper Heart Chronicles)

21. Raging Accessories: Your prints don’t always have to come from your clothing. Add a bright pop of print to shake things up a bit, like these playful ferocious pumps ($360). (via We Love Styles)

Drama lovers are living large thanks to The Summer I Turned Pretty, Sweet Magnolias, and now My Life With The Walter Boys season 2! The show (which is basically Friday Night Lights meets Dawson's Creek) spent some time at the number one spot on Netflix’s Global English Top 10 TV list (and joined the list in 88 other countries). Netflix renewed it for a sophomore season in December 2023, and the great news is that season 2 just finished filming!

Here's everything you need to know about My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 — and don't forget to watch our interview with the cast, too.

Is there going to be My Life With the Walter Boys season 2?

Netflix

Yes, there will be a My Life With the Walter Boys season 2! Netflix renewed the new TV show in December of 2023. The second season started filming in Calgary, Canada on August 14, 2024. Showrunner Melanie Halsall is returning for season 2, as is executive producer Ed Glauser. Becky Hartman Edwards will also serve as an EP.

While there's no book for My Life With the Walter Boys season 2, author Ali Novak revealed her upcoming sequel book won't influence the show, saying “none of the content that I am currently writing will be in the second season. They’ve just taken different directions. Still all the same characters that we love.”

The season recently wrapped in November 2024, and the cast spilled on their post-shoot plans. “We have our apartments for a little bit afterwards, so we’re definitely going to stick around,” star Asbhy Gentry tells TUDUM. The cast also talked about visiting Calgary Zoo, renting bikes, and heading to Banff (in Alberta, Canada), but was distraught when they learned their favorite dessert place had closed its doors. Thankfully, a new place called Cloud Naan came to the rescue. “It’s like Cloud Nine, but with naan,” Ashby says. Now I'm craving naan!

When is the My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 release date?

Netflix

We don't have an official release date for My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 yet, but we know it's coming in 2025. Considering season 1, which started streaming in December of 2023, premiered a little over a year after filming ended, it's safe to assume we'll get another December release.

“Season 2 is bigger and better,” creator Melanie Halsall tells TUDUM. “We’ve got massive set pieces in each episode, and the stories are more intricate. We found our feet with our characters, [and] the actors really understand their characters now. When I was coming back, I was excited to start shooting again because I knew we had great stories to tell.”

Who's in the My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 cast?

Netflix

Nikki Rodriguez, Noah LaLonde, and Ashby Gentry return as Jackie, Cole, and Alex respectively. We'll see other cast members like Marc Blucas, Johnny Link, Corey Fogelmanis, Connor Stanhope, Dean Petriw, Alix West Lefler, Lennix James, and Sarah Rafferty! Natalie Sharp, Carson MacCormac, Janet Kidder, Riele Downs, and Jake Manley are joining the cast.

What has the cast said about their time on the show?

Netflix

The My Life With the Walter Boys cast has loved their time on the show! When the first season dropped, Nikki Rodriguez posted a selfie with Noah LaLonde and Ashby Gentry with the caption "Cheers to the best time of my life."

"NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD," Ashby said in his own Instagram post when the show hit the streaming platform's top spot. "GRATEFUL IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT."

During our own interview with the main trio, they talked about how quickly the bonded on set. "We got deep," Noah told me over Zoom.

"Nothing says bonding like goofing off," Ashby said. "I think it's easy to become a family when you include a little bit of that."

"There's so many topics that the show covers," Nikki added. "Love, loss, grief, family, and chosen family, and I feel like those are all topics we've all experienced and can connect to."

Who does Jackie end up with in My Life with the Walter Brothers in the books?

Netflix

In the My Life With the Walter Boys books, Alex and Jackie agree to just be friends after she confesses her feelings to Cole, who then confesses his own feelings in the pouring rain (dreamy!!). In the final episode of the TV show, Jackie confronts Cole after he glued her sister's broken teapot back together, and the two end up kissing. But then Cole finds Jackie has run back to New York City, leaving nothing but an "I'm sorry" note behind.

If you’re a flower lover like ourselves, chances are you’ve been DIYing your own bouquets for years and are basically an amateur florist, am-I-right? Whether you’re a plant master or newbie gardener (or can’t keep a plant alive), growing stunning flowers can be a difficult task.

Luckily, horticulture guide Gardening Chores performed a study to analyze America’s favorite flowers à la Google searches and gave us plenty of tips on how to grow each flower successfully, so your garden will be bursting with color before you know it

Photo by Annie Spratt / Unsplash

1. Lavender

Not surprisingly, lavender is America’s favorite flower with 69,430 searches per year. Its delicate purple flowers and wonderful fragrance provides a welcome shock of color to any space and is great for pollinators. Lavender grows best in bright, dry conditions in not very fertile soil with good drainage.

“Lavender provides many benefits to the area in which it is grown and can thrive both outdoors and indoors with proper care. From its widely acknowledged pleasant fragrance to its beautiful violet flowers, it provides a welcoming space for pollinators, and acts as an excellent repellant of nuisance garden insects, such as mosquitoes and ticks,” says Amer Noyes, a horticultural expert at Gardening Chores.

2. Sunflower

The common sunflower’s towering height, bright yellow outer petals and its large, sun-following flower head make it a magnet for pollinators, both big and small.

“The common sunflower is an annual flower, meaning that it dies after one growing season, which is the period from germination to seed production,” Gardening Chores shared. “It grows best in full sun or partial shade, in average fertile soil with good drainage.”

3. Rose

Synonymous with romance and passion, it appears America’s love extends to roses as well with 41,030 searches per year.

“There are more than 300 naturally occurring rose species and tens of thousands of cultivated varieties,” Gardening Chores commented. “Generally, roses come in three types: climbing, groundcover, and shrub. The sheer variety of species can seem overwhelming, but it means there is likely to be a variety to suit whatever space one might have. In general, roses have large, vibrant flowers that range in color from whites to yellows and reds, and they produce a pleasant scent that enhances the space they are in.”

“Roses generally grow best in full sun, with soil of medium moisture and a pH ranging from neutral to slightly acidic,” Gardening Chores continued. “However, specific types of roses can tolerate conditions outside of this range.”

4. Peony

The vibrant peonies (Which, fun fact, has 33 unique species!) are large and range in color from the typical pink to reds, purples, yellows and whites.

These fragrant flowers “are a type of perennial plant that bloom briefly in late spring and early summer. Perennial plants are categorized as those that continue to grow over more than two years,” said Gardening Chores. “Peonies grow best in full sunlight or partially shaded areas that receive a lot of afternoon sun in the summer. They are also quite particular about the soil they grow in, preferring loose, well-draining, fertile, rich soil.”

5. Hydrangea

Famous for their large blooms in striking colors, Hydrangeas “are reliable bloomers that don’t require much maintenance to provide beautiful color to [any] space from spring through to fall,” Gardening Chores shared. “One fascinating characteristic of hydrangeas is that their blooms can change color depending on the pH of the soil they are growing in, with more acidic soil producing blue flowers and more alkaline soil producing pink flowers.”

Gardening Chores continued, “hydrangeas grow best in full sun, although areas with afternoon shade will be preferred in hotter climates. They also prefer rich soil that is well-drained and moist. Remember that hydrangeas grow quickly, and can grow to be very large, with some having a spread of up to ten feet, so make sure to plant them in a space that can accommodate this.”

6. Dahlia

The daisy-adjacent dahlia is the national flower of Mexico with more than 57,000 varieties and 27,090 searches per year. Their blooms provide amazing bursts of color in many shapes and sizes from mid-summer into fall, with a wide range of colors.

With 8 general categories of dahlias (decorative dahlias, pompon and ball dahlias, cactus and semi-cactus dahlias, anemone and collarette dahlias, mignon dahlias, single dahlias, peony and orchid shaped dahlias and waterlily dahlias), this wide selection allows plenty of flexibility in incorporating dahlias into your home and/or garden.

According to Gardening Chores, “dahlias generally prefer full sun, with some varieties tolerating partial shade in warmer climates. They also tend to prefer well-drained soil. If you live in a colder climate, you can still grow dahlias despite them not being cold hardy. Once the blossom is over, cut down your dahlias to the ground, uproot the tubers, and dry them. You can then store them in a cool, but not cold, dry place to be able to plant them again next spring.”

7. Tulip

Tulips provide a rainbow of springtime blooms, generally growing best in full sun conditions with “fertile, well-drained, evenly humid loam, chalk, or sand-based soil with the soil pH ranging from mildly acidic to mildly alkaline,” said Gardening Chores.

Tulips require plenty of attention to return year after year. Once the bloom is spent, deadhead the tulip so that it diverts most of its energy to the bulb, allowing it to remain healthy for the next year,” Gardening Chores continued. “After all the leaves have dried, gently remove the bulb from the soil using your hands or a small fork, then dry the bulb in the sun. Once dried, store the bulb in a cool, dark, dry, and ventilated place for re-planting around the middle of October for the following spring.”

8. Sweet Pea

Sweet peas are annual climbing (and frequently poisonous) plants known for their bright flowers, ranging from their original wild purple to various shades of blue, pink, purple, and white, often in pastel colors.

“Depending on the climate in which they are planted, sweet peas can survive from November in mild winter climates, to very late winter and early spring when the ground is dry enough to work in climates where frosts occur regularly,” said Gardening Chores. “Sweet peas can also be grown indoors to begin with, then moved outside as the weather permits. Their buds prefer full sun, and their roots prefer shade, which can be provided by planting low-growing annuals in front of them. They prefer well-fertilized, moist, well-drained soil with an alkaline pH.”

9. Poppy

Poppies come in a wide variety of colors and usually bloom from spring into early summer in temperate zones. With 17,360 searches per year, poppies “generally prefer full sun, with fertile and organically rich, well-drained, medium humid to dry loam, chalk, clay, or sand-based soil, with a soil pH that is mildly acidic to mildly alkaline,” shared Gardening Chores.

Photo by Elin Gann / Unsplash

10. Clematis

America’s tenth most popular flower is the clematis, which has 300 natural species with countless varieties and 16,180 searches per year.

According to Gardening Chores, “clematises are a species of climbing plants often split into three groups: early bloomers, repeated bloomers, and late bloomers. Group one clematises produce flowers on old wood and blossom in spring. Group two starts blooming in late spring to early summer on new and old wood, continuing throughout summer, sometimes into fall. Group three only produces flowers on new wood and starts blooming later in summer, usually lasting into fall.”

“In general, clematises prefer full sun or partial shade, with soil that is well drained and medium humid loam, clay, chalk, or sand-based soil with a pH from neutral to mildly alkaline,” commented Gardening Chores.

So there you have it, B+C gardeners! Excuse us while we go tend to our seedlings.

Break out your basketball jerseys because the Tree Hill Ravens are coming back! Multiple sources have toldVariety that Netflix will develop a sequel series to the beloved CW drama, which ran from 2003-2012. While the series hasn't officially been greenlit yet, multiple series stars have admitted they'd love to have a One Tree Hill reunion and make another installment of the show.

"I just can't see a world where something won't happen," Chad Michael Murray told E! News. "Something will happen. Whether we get everybody together and do a live reading of the show, or we create a new fictional future episode, I don't know what it will be."

"We’re all on board, we’re all friends, it would be the most fun show anybody has ever been on," Barbara Alyn Woods says in an Entertainment Tonight interview.

Here's everything to know about the One Tree Hillsequel series — including the stars rumored to return!

Who's returning to the One Tree Hill sequel?

One Tree Hill Sequel Cast

According to Variety, Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton would return as Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer, respectively. Daneel Ackles would also return — and all three would serve as executive producers on the TV show alongside Warner Bros. Television, who was behind the original show.

When asked if he would return as Lucas Scott, Chad Michael Murray simply responded with “No clue." Considering previous reports suggested he had "no plans to return," this is promising news to me! He then added he hopes the sequel series “comes together for the fans.”

“I mean, this fandom that has grown, I mean, literally, I was just in Halifax a week ago and, sure enough, I’m running into 11, 12, 13-year-old kids who are in love with Tree Hill,” he continues. “They’re seeing it on Hulu and they’re going, ‘Oh, my gosh.’ It’s stood the test of time and I think to have some new stories, whatever iteration of the show that’s created, I want it for the fans.”

Will One Tree Hill have a season 10?

Warner Bros. Television

One Tree Hill Sequel Plot

One Tree Hill doesn't have a season 10, and it's unclear what kind of sequel this new One Tree Hill series would be. But it looks like star Hilarie Burton is confident the new series would be told through the female experience. "What has been really cool for [the entire cast and crew], they're all really proud of the work that we did back then too," she told Brit + Co in September. And so to see the public support this little show we made 20 years later, that's so special and it's so rare."

“Being able to work with a team of women and look at these stories [and] these characters through a female lens is something that — whether I was doing a reboot or a brand-new show or a different movie at this phase in my life, female teamwork is something that is so vital to me,” she adds in an interview with People. “It is the core of anything I've done that's successful...So I'm excited to be able to team up with people that I look up to, people that I love dearly.”

After the One Tree Hill finale featured all of our favorite characters' kids, I've always wanted to see a One Tree Hill next generation series that brings the kids into high school, which is something other fans have been wanting too!

One viral TikTok imagines an intro for a fictional Next Gen series starring Dylan O'Brien, Candice King, and Vanessa Marano. "Could you imagine this as a reboot with the kids though," one comment reads. "We can only dream."

Warner Bros. Television

And good news for OTH fans! Jana Kramer, who played Alex during the later seasons of the show, teased she thinks Peyton and Brooke "are coming back as moms."

"I had spoken to Hilarie about it, about Alex making an appearance when I knew about it," she tells People. "We had discussed it before the news broke...I think their intention is to bring back people that make sense. And Hilarie was like, 'I never got to meet Alex, so it'd be fun to have us meet,' and I'm like, 'I would love that. Sign me up.' So, we'll see. TBD."

Brooke having to deal with her kids' TikToks? Peyton thinking about the future of art and AI? Mouth leading the Tree Hill podcast empire? There is so much to dive into here. But all in all, One Tree Hill is one TV show that gives me so much hope, no matter how many times I watch it. And I know that bringing back our favorite found family is the perfect way to bring some of that hope right back into today's TV.

One Tree Hill also starred Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, Austin Nichols, Bethany Joy Lenz, Paul Johansson, Barbara Alyn Woods, Lee Norris, and Antwon Tanner. Check back here for the latest updates on the One Tree Hill reboot cast!
