Ditch the Prints: Exceptions to the Rule. LINK While we generally want to eliminate prints from our classic style wardrobe, here are exceptions to the rule: Stripes “Textures”: prints or patterns that appear as textures when viewed from a distance. This includes small polka dots, small houndstooth, muted plaids, small prints, etc. Printed Accent Pieces: scarves, handbags, shoes, belts, etc. This includes LEOPARD and animal prints.
