mixed styles
Blended aesthetic choices
Mixed styles describes combining elements from different aesthetic traditions, design approaches, or artistic movements.

In fashion, it's pairing formal and casual pieces.
The term applies wherever deliberate contrast or eclecticism replaces stylistic purity: Her mixed styles approach to decorating made the room feel curated rather than catalog-ordered.
