Here are some additional fashion tips to help you colour coordinate your outfits,
4. Matching accessories
If you are wearing an all-white or an all-black outfit you can always go for a metallic handbag and shoes with a little bling. If your outfit is fairly bright, then you should ideally have your handbag and shoes in a neutral color to tone down a wee bit. It’s nice to match your handbag with your shoes/your top or to match your handbag and your shoes. However, having your outfit, handbag and shoes all in one colour may look slightly odd at times so try and always stick to the matching of two or three things together. A well- matched outfit and accessories gives out a positive message to the outside world to the effect that you are a well-organised, tidy and clever and that message does matter, especially in a corporate world.
5. Color combinations
You can always get help by looking at the colour wheel. For example, if you look at a colour like red, you can match that with a colour from the opposite side of the wheel such as green. Similarly, oranges will go with blues, yellows with blues/violets etc. These can even be where the top or the bottom is one with a pattern on it.
When it comes to pastel colours, you can pick any two pastel colours and wear them together because pastel colours work well with each other. For an example, pastel blue and pastel pink will match well and a pastel green will fit in well with light blue jeans etc.
Another smart way of matching your colours is to wear the top and bottom in the same colour but in different shades as they generally complement each other very well. For an example, a turquoise blue top will come together well with dark blue shorts/pants/skirt. A bottle/dark green top will click well with a light green skirt/pants/shorts etc.
6. Choosing patterns
When wearing patterns in attires, it is recommended that they are worn with a plain colour for the top or bottom. For an instance, if you are wearing a patterned top, the bottom should ideally be a plain coloured pant/skirt or shorts and vice versa. Its fine to mix patterns with patterns but you should be quite careful as it may look slightly messy at times. Therefore, the safest way is to mix a pattern with a plain colour as it then highlights the pattern and brings about the style in your outfit.
