You can make that pattern uniquely yours as you develop and refine your personal style.
Plan to work with lots of solid colored clothing pieces ( one single color) and a few terrific patterned pieces.
How to recognise classic patterns?
These patterns are always easily available. If you are aware from now on,
You will notice how familiar they are and never go out of style. Elements (line, shape ) will be small to medium and not large.

Neutral color and Accent color Palette
NEUTRAL COLORS
Build in your wardrobe, clothes that have neutral colors, versatile and flattering dulled or muted tones of every hue as well as black, white and gray.
How do you spot a neutral color. The less bright the color, the more neutral it becomes. It should be fairly muted to look at.
Wardrobe neutrals are needed most by people employed in formal, conservative, public or service oriented businesses- also for those in leadership positions.
A darker wardrobe neutral in cooler weather and a lighter wardrobe neutral in summer/warm weather.
You can add bright or contrasting accent colors for more interest and variety.
But, what are accent colors? :)
