One of the best ways to show off your own personal style is
to mix and match with fabulous colors!
It can get tricky, though—how do you know which colors work
together, and which look awful together?
Some people have an eye for it, but if you’re just learning,
or if you don’t trust your judgment yet, then luckily, there are simple ways to
combine colors so you look like a fashion pro—all without breaking a sweat!
First, let’s talk about how colors are categorized in
clothes:
Neutral Colors
These are often used
as the base color in an outfit, and make a good foundation for building your
look. They are not always necessary, but
they are a nice fall back, and they always work!
Black
White
Grey
Cream
Beige
Tan
Brown
Navy blue (sometimes)
Cold Colors
Blue
Green
Purples with blue tones
Warm Colors
Red
Orange
Yellow
Pink
Purples with red tones
Now, take a look at the color wheel (pictured below)

Pick a color you like, and want to dress in—the colors
directly next to that original color are its analogue colors.
A good way to dress for success is to pick a color, and
limit yourself to three analogues (that is, three colors in a row). Match them
with a neutral color that is part of that same family, or is a good fit for
your analogues.
Follow this simple rule and voila! You will be styling in no time.
