We bring you some very practical tips to improve your clothe colour matching abilities. This should be exciting.
Use Contrasting Colour Combination
You can create a contrasting look using colours that make each other more intense, creating a powerful contrast. Such combinations look very bright, so when you create contrasting looks, one colour must be the main one, and the other is complementary, in a proportion of 70% to 30%.
A classic contrast combination includes shades of red with green, blue with orange, purple with yellow, and white with black. However, make sure you know what colour type fits your skin tone before you try any of these methods on.
Also, if you feel that your outfit is way too bright, add one neutral colour to mute and calm everything down.
Leverage Neutral Colours Look
To make your outfits look more personal and stylish, choose clothes that have a unique design, decorative elements, or interesting textures. Neutral colours are quite important as they can add more balance and harmony to your outfits.
Neutral colours also match with any bright, soft, or primary colours. If you prefer less colourful looks, use more neutral shades.
The only thing to pay attention to is to match cold neutral shades with cold shades of other colours and vice versa. Neutral colours like shades of white, beige, camel, shades of gray, brown, and black can easily match each other.
Consider a Monochrome Look
The monochrome look is a look where all elements have different shades of the same colour.
You can use 3 different shades of the same colour with different levels of saturation and brightness in one outfit. If you add more contrast between the shades, your outfit will become brighter and more dressed up.
If the contrast between shades is barely noticeable, that whole look will appear softer and calmer.
The Soft Colour Combination
Soft colour is the colour that was mixed with gray or pastel colours. Some examples include ochre yellow, burnt orange, sage, burgundy, and plum.
You can also create Soft colour combinations by matching Light with Light colours or Dark with Dark colours in an outfit. When you combine Soft colours, the resulting outfits come out looking a little calmer, softer, friendlier, sometimes more casual, and relaxed.
Last Thought on Colours
You can probably use a 1 colour or 5 colours outfit (depending on your leaning) and still look amazing. Ultimately, looking dapper in your outfit does not only come from your ability to mix and match colours but also includes the style of clothes you match and how well everything fits you, as much as how confident you feel wearing it.
Again, this is not a one size fits all rule, there might be exceptions so always check your final looks in the mirror. We look forward to your patronage of our services at FrankiesWorld Koncept, our bespoke clothier services will add colours to your wardrobe and style.
