If you’re seeking a subdued palette for colder months, it’s a good way to go. This look is especially nice with shades of plum and other darker shades of purple. As you can see in the picture, the navy stripes on the red skirt help temper the hot colors of the red/yellow combination. To avoid that look, try to ensure that either the red or the yellow piece is part of a pattern. If combined haphazardly, red and yellow just might make you look like Ronald McDonald! Red and yellow can be a captivating color combination, but it’s important to create it carefully. For example, you could wear a navy tie with a light blue shirt (or do the same but reverse the colors). Wearing a light blue shirt or blouse under a navy blue blazer is a great choice if you want to balance light and dark.Īlternatively, you can use one color to accent the other. If you want to create a cool-toned color scheme, incorporating navy blue and light blue into the same outfit is a classic way to do so. Incorporating tan accessories (like the hat shown in the picture) is a smart move, and it’s easy to find tan shoes, pants, bags, etc.Īlternatively, you can add a sage green accent or two to a predominantly tan outfit for an especially memorable look. And since tan is a neutral, this combination can work in a number of different ways. ![]() Sage Green and Tanĭifferent variations of green and tan are a mainstay in the fashion world. Here’s a list of the 50 best color combinations for clothes that work for men and women. Clothing Color Combinations for Men and Women If you’re in need of a little inspiration, here are some suggested color combinations ranging from the classic to the avant-garde. And if you want to freshen up your look, finding new and exciting combinations of colors can be a great place to start. I once wore a matte skirt with a shiny tank, and then a lacy topper, and saw my error later on photographs.The clothes you wear can communicate a lot about your personality. I have also found that I need to match the shininess or the matte texture in my bottom with my top, when aiming for a column of color. However, I think that a heavily textured cardigan and a plain woven shirt underneath it, both in the same color, look wonderful together, proving your point! I feel they should look different enough from each other that it looks intentional, and not that I just got dressed in a too dark closet ! The level of texture in the outer garment makes the difference to me. Instead, I would wear that same cardigan with a top underneath that is a tint of the cardigan color. An example would be a plain cardigan with a smooth texture, and a knit top underneath with the tint being just a bit off in the top as my problem child. Thank you so much for addressing this - it has been a mental conundrum for years when attempting a culling event in my closet, based on color ! When I have 2 similar, but not exact color matching garments, I wear them together, but only if there is also a value difference. Better to part with it right away and get a refund. But the sad truth is that if I can’t answer those questions in a satisfactory way, I’ll never wear the new thing and it is just going to be closet ballast. I had a fantasy about how it was going to perfectly fill some hole in my wardrobe, and it’s hard to let that go. I hate doing that because if I order something, I have a sort of romance with it. And be brutally honest – do these look “right” together or not? And if the answer is no – is it necessary to wear them together, or will they each have a place in my wardrobe even if they don’t look right together? If that answer isn’t satisfactory, then it goes right back into the box and is returned. ![]() So what I do if I bring something home (or it is delivered by the nice UPS guy :-) is a good evaluation under the best natural light I can find. Different shades /tints of the same color work – but if the undertones are different, it isn’t really the “same.” I find it is hit or miss when I buy something from a different brand unless I have the other garment with me. As said above I agree with most of what you have said, but those undertones can really be pesky. ![]()
