“Harmony in everything”: combination of colors in clothes

The ability to dress stylishly and beautifully is given to all women by nature. But not everyone knows how to listen to their inner voice and see themselves from the outside. It is very important to be able to combine things in style, colors and fabrics. The topic of this article is color combinations in clothing. What colors goes with a green scarf? What about pink shoes?

Combination of colors with other colors in clothes

So, the first rule of good manners in clothing is a sense of proportion. You should not use all trendy colors in one set of clothes at once. It is better to have basic items in neutral colors in your wardrobe and “dilute” the ensemble with bright accents. But you shouldn’t completely switch to gray and gloom either.

There is a distinction between colors based on clothing style. Simply put, what color is considered appropriate for a given situation.

Styles and colors of clothing:

• Office, business. The basis of this style is made up of basic items in neutral colors - black, dark blue, gray, beige. After all, the task of this style of clothing is to create a businesslike or at least neutral image. It is acceptable to use muted shades of other colors. For example, burgundy, green, brown, sand, purple. If we consider light colors, then it is imperative to use so-called pastel shades.
• Evening style. Implies sufficient freedom in choosing a palette. There is no clear definition of the appropriateness of colors. The choice should be based on the format of the event and the shades that are ideal for you. After all, the goal of this style is to demonstrate the merits of appearance.
• For classic style, as for business, dark tones are considered basic. In this case, it is not recommended to use bright colors, as well as very light, pure shades. Complex colors look best, for example, gray-violet, brown-green. A safe bet is to use shades of base tones. Black, grey, beige, light brown.
• The style of a creative person provides absolute freedom in choosing both the color scheme and the texture of clothing. The use of accents is mandatory, most often black is taken as the main color. It most successfully accentuates any other color and flatters the figure. Unless, of course, you weigh 40 kg and are 170 tall.
• Casual or comfortable style implies maximum comfort in clothing, both tactile and visual. That is, nothing flashy, pretentious, or tacky. The main colors are green, gray, terracotta, brown, ocher. Light colors are represented by the most pale shades, most tending towards gray. Black is used as an accent, but not as a base.
• The romantic style was initially characterized only by light, airy fabrics in muted, pastel colors. But fashion quickly went a little further and today the use of pure bright colors is acceptable in a romantic style. Of the dark ones, it is permissible to use black and brown, in small quantities.

Combination of colors in clothes: table

When making decisions about purchasing this or that item, follow the following rules and your image will always be harmonious:

1. Fabrics with shine visually add extra pounds. Any color, any texture, always. If you really want to shine, pay attention to jewelry, a handbag or shoes with stones.
2. Warm shades visually expand the figure. Therefore, red, pink, crimson, orange, yellow colors are recommended for delicate young ladies.
3. But to achieve a slimming effect, we recommend paying attention to cool tones. This indicator does not depend at all on saturation; soft pink, although it will add less volume than red, will still make the figure more appetizing than pale blue.
4. It follows from the previous rule that bright shades make people look fatter. More precisely, the number of “visual” kilograms depends on the brightness. Even bright blue.
5. A vertical stripe on the fabric visually slims and elongates the figure. Horizontal, on the contrary, adds width and “eats” growth.
6. For a curvy, appetizing figure, it is better to give preference to colors such as malachite, cherry, black-blue, gray-green, pink-silver.

We invite you to visually familiarize yourself with the table of color compatibility with each other. We will consider each individual case in more detail below.
