Staying trendy and keeping up with the various vagaries of the fashion industry is not something everyone is interested in or feels they have time for – but the vast majority of us like to feel stylish and elegant when we get dressed.
With the help of some timeless tips on how to use color and matching, you will elevate your style several notches, and feel more stylish than ever!
Choose the right color combination
Finding the right color combination for your clothes is easier said than done. Matching neutral colors with each other is usually easier than strong colors, but matching two stronger colors with each other can also make a nice impression.
If you are not sure which colors look good together, you can use a color wheel – the colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are great to wear together and match with each other. A good rule of thumb for those who are unsure about color is not to wear more than three different colors together in the same outfit.
Try monochrome
Going dressed all in one color is so neat and elegant, and doesn’t have to be as extreme as it might sound at first. Having an outfit completely in black has an elongating effect, and gives a sober impression. Want to try something a little brighter? Try wearing all white, beige or brown.
Match shoes and bag
If you dress in neutral colors like black, white, gray or beige, it’s nice to have accessories that stand out a little more, maybe in a clear color. If you make sure to match your shoes with a bag in the same color, your look will immediately look well thought out and stylish.
