How to Mix and Match Colors in your Wardrobe
Many of us have a problem with color blocking.
Most times I just feel like wearing all black because I just don't know what color of shoes to wear with a purple gown or what skirt to wear with a green shoe.
Ever wonder how some of your favorite fashionistas put colors together to create eye-catching and fabulously colorful outfits?
Here is your answer!!!
The color wheel!!
The color wheel is an excellent wardrobe tool! Figuring it out isn’t too complicated. Here’s a quick breakdown:
You can make the following combos using the color wheel as your guide:
1. Colors directly next to each other (i.e. yellow and yellow-orange; yellow and yellow-green; red and red-orange, etc.)
2. Colors that form right (90 degree) angles with each other. yellow and red-orange; blue and violet-red; green and orange, etc.)
3. Colors directly across from each other (i.e. yellow and violet; blue and orange; red and green, etc.)
4. Colors that form a T (i.e. blue, orange, and violet-red; yellow, violet, and red-orange; yellow, blue-green, and red-orange, etc.)
5. Colors that form an X (i.e. blue, orange, violet-red, and yellow, violet, blue-green, and red-orange, etc.)
Since brown is a neutral, it will go with virtually any color on the color wheel. One of my favorite pairings: chocolate brown with cobalt blue or fuchsia or bright red. It’s such a fun and bold combo.
Now let's say NO to color mismatch!!
