Match your natural coloringĪnother important thing to consider is your own natural skin, hair and eye color.
And black, white and gray shades are fashionable again this season. So for a trendy look this could be dark-blue jeans with a fresh-looking light green top.
In the brighter colors, Biscay green is a gentle yellow-green, that’s lighter than moss-green, can be worn with deep-blue. Natural earth tones always look classy and they include soft versions of orange, warm browns, soft turmeric yellow, moss-green, and gentle reds. Photo of color wheel Colors you should wear together this season The rule is not to wear together colors that are ‘opposite’ each other on the color wheel. Here’s a list of fashion colors that are generally agreed to be ones you shouldn’t wear together:Īnd for the scientific point of view, consult this color wheel. Imagine a bright yellow blouse paired with a deep blue blouse, which technically should ‘go’ together, but the intensity of the two cool colors could produce an overpowering blast of color that’s just too bright! So sometimes the key to getting the best look from colors you should not normally wear together is to just add a touch of the other bright color to your outfit, with a scarf or bag or shoes. So if you put different shades of green together, you can get an unpleasant clash between the yellow and blue undertones, even though they are both cool colors! Consider color intensity Similarly, green can have so many different shades – some of which include yellow and others which include blue. And the reason is that orange is a warm color, but deep pink is a cool color. And the same goes for any uni-color outfit, so don’t try to wear two or more garments of the same color, unless they have the same undertones.įor example, red can have orange undertones and it can also have deep pink undertones, which would make a terrible mis-match. In fact, trying to team a selection of black, or white, garments together can be a nightmare! There are so many different undertones to black and white clothes that you shouldn’t try to pair the same color together. This is because brown is a warm color, which would not look good with blue or purple, which are cool colors. So you wouldn’t want to wear a brown blouse with a black skirt or trousers, if the black fabric had a blue or purple undertone. And there are basic rules like matching contrasting and complementary colors successfully by choosing the same ‘undertones’ and intensity of color.įor instance, black can have a variety of undertones, including brown, green, blue and purple. Generally speaking, women have a better understanding of which colors look good together and frequently have to advise their male partners about stylish color matching. These two shades are produced by mixing pink and orange in varying quantities, and so they are a fine balance between warm and cool colors! Match the ‘undertones’ And really you need to be able to use your own observation of which colors don’t go together on other women, to inform your own choices.įor example, you wouldn’t normally wear a pink blouse with an orange skirt, but one of the fashion world’s favorite new colors has been salmon-pink and a similar color, coral.
Fabric tinting includes a lot of color mixing between warm and cool colors, to create new tones and shades.
However, it’s difficult to set hard and fast rules for what colors you should not wear together, as everything depends on the tones and shades of the colors you try to match. It’s just too much color intensity, even though both are cool colors, so it’s tiring on the eyes. And a couple of years ago, a fashion stylist dressed Meghan Markle in an attention-grabbing outfit of a purple dress under a red coat. Classic clashesīut other times, a new fashion just turns out to be a horrendous mistake – like the fashion for re-decorating bars in bright orange and purple in the 1970’s! That was a classic warm clashes with cool color disaster. And in recent years, we’ve seen lots of pretty pink attractively matched with soft green in fabric patterns. Sometimes these are successful, like the time when emerald green was daringly paired with deep blue in lots of women’s outfits. It’s a complicated subject, which seems to be changing all the time, but only because fashion designers like to introduce new key fashion colors each season.
