A few people have a
problem of not knowing which colours go together and look good together. First
of all, it’s an individual thing… there are no specific rules as to what
colours go and don’t go together. It’s all about your style, and what you think
is beautiful. But just in case you’re that hopeless, here’s help!
Let me introduce to you
the Colour Wheel:
Basically, there are 3 types
of colour combinations that go together:
The Adjacently placed colours
You can combine two or three colours that are placed adjacently (or next to each other) in the colour wheel while putting together an outfit. For example Pink, Orange and Yellow.
The Monochromatic colours
You can combine different shades of a single colour in the same outfit. For example Pink.
The Oppositely placed
colours
You can also combine
pieces in colours that are placed oppositely in the colour wheel while putting
together an outfit. For example Blue and Orange.
Here are a few extra
tips:
The colours black, white
and beige as well as gold and silver can be combined in any which way you like,
but not all 5 together…that would be disastrous!
You can choose one or
two light colours for your clothing, and then make a statement by adding a pop
of bright colour in your jewellery or your accessories.
Remember, the above are
just guidelines to give you an idea about colour theory, NOT RULES. The rest is
completely up to you. Don’t worry about what other people think about your
choices. Colours are a way of expressing yourself, so stay true and be as crazy
or as tame as you like to be!
TTYL dollies!
