Send

Even experienced fashionistas regularly wonder how to combine colors. A successful combination of colors in clothes will help to make even an extremely simple image unforgettable. We offer you several ways!

All women have an innate sense of beauty, and with experience we only hone it! But the combination of colors is akin to alchemy - the ingredients must be strictly true, otherwise at the exit you will get a "potion" that will turn you into anything, but not into a beautiful princess. We offer you six really working ways to perfectly match colors in clothes.

How to determine your color type: stylist's advice

1. Do not get out of the group

If every day you are wondering how to combine colors in clothes, then for you there is a simple and most straightforward way that will never let you down: combine pastel with pastel, shades of earth with flowers of the same “earthy” group, shades of precious stones (saturated green, red, blue, cyan, etc.) with similar colors and so on.

2. Use the color wheel to identify complementary colors

Complementary, or complementary, contrasting, are called colors located on opposite sides of the color wheel.Words that opposites are attracted are 100% true in this case. It is not necessary to choose the most saturated shades, but with complementary colors you can always be sure that a soft plum sweater will look great with mustard pants of a straight cut, and an almost luminous juicy blue dress will perfectly complement orange accessories.

3. Try ombre

The point is not that one separate thing should be painted in ombre style, but that your entire outfit should consist of things, each of which would contribute to the creation of the overall ombre effect. It is not necessary to try to build a strict transition from dark to light shades or vice versa, the main thing is that your image includes shades of one color - a win-win option.

Some large online clothing stores represent selling clothes on models, for which they create full-fledged images with the help of professional stylists. If you are having difficulty choosing spectacular color combinations, just go to the website of such a store, find absolutely any thing of the color you need and see what additional colors were used in the images.

5. Print as a guide

Find a print (for example, for neckerchiefs or just a print for fabric) of the designer or company that you like, and "dissect" it into individual colors, and put them at the base of the image.A slight complication: evaluate which color is used in the print more and which are less, and distribute them to the same extent - the main color for a dress, coat, top and so on, and additional shades - for accessories and shoes.

6. Do you doubt it? Black and white!

Neutral colors (gray, khaki, denim, gold, silver, etc.) are perfectly combined with the vast majority of colors, but black and white, especially together, surpass them in this on the head.
