Today's fashion circuit has definitely strayed away from oldschool matchy-matchy. With that said, go on and break all the rules. The re-emergence of the tribal trend brings back the fun of mixing and matching. It's an 'anything goes' type of attitude. Try piecing together contrasting prints and colors for a bold look -- the more the merrier! If you need a little help easing into the trend, we suggest layering a geometric print top under a solid colored jacket or cardigan.

Take your style notes from the spring runway collections of Dries Van Noten, Rodarte, Thakoon, Proenza Schouler, and Fashion East. And if your budget has forced you to cut back, no problem! It's easy to sneak this trend into any wardrobe. Accessories are your go-to items. Look for statement necklaces in geometric shapes made out of beads and metallics. Bags and shoes that highlight woven patterns are great options too. And don't forget -- color, color, color -- from bright shades of orange and yellow, to bold hues of teals and reds. Take the trend further with some body art inspired by Chanel's Spring 2010 RTW show and incorporate temporary tattoos into your look. It's another fun element to complement this exotic trend.
