How do you take a grandma sweater to fashionable heights? Do as the Black-ish actress and pair it with mid-thigh-length shorts. The trick here is to keep the top and bottom in similar colorways, so there's a cohesive look even if the patterns are different. It may be too hot for a knitted sweater this spring, so keep cool in a cropped top instead.

Gigi Hadid
This styling trick is for the mixed-prints beginner. With a simple foundation—white tee and jeans—all you have to do is mix and match your add-ons. Keep it simple with a patterned oversize jacket like Gigi. When it comes to accessories, like a scarf, don't be afraid to go bold in a larger pattern and color.

Mindy Kaling
A master of mixed prints can do it in the most subtle ways, like Mindy. You barely notice she's wearing four patterns (the two plaids in her coat, the florals in her dress and the quilting in her bag). To re-create this look, opt for a dress in a simple, dual-hue print and top it off with a sweater or jacket in the same colors. Because it's only getting warmer, swap Mindy's coat for a sheer bomber.

Greta Gerwig
A floral motif always looks amazing contrasted against geometric shapes and straight lines. Not only does it make the flowers stand out, but bringing in pops of color will get the message across that spring is in full bloom.
