1. Red

Red is a striking, classic color that can make any outfit brighter. For a date, a formal event or casual outing, it is the ideal option. Choose a red color that will bring your teint to life. Pair your red dresses for a formal look with neutral colors or for a pleasant and trendy look with challenging colors. Use red accessories to add additional color to your outfit.

Choose a shade of red that compliments your skin tone.

If you have olive or darker skin, you’ll look great in an orangey red, like coral or tangerine. If you have a fair complexion, look for reds that are slightly more pink, such as ruby red or berry red. If your skin is a medium shade, you will probably look good in most shades.

• If you notice that your skin looks particularly good in a shade of red, you’ve probably found your best color match.

Pair red with black or white to create a smart, business look.

Red, black, and white are bold colors that create a striking contrast when paired together. This is a good option if you want to achieve a formal look for an event or for work. A red dress shirt with a black tie and a black suit makes a striking contrast that exudes power and confidence.

• Choose a bright shade of red if want to create a really sharp look.
• If you feel shy wearing bold red, look for black or white shirts that have red prints or patterns on them.
• Wear a red dress with a black or white blazer for a formal event.

Wear red from head to toe if you want to stand out.

Wearing red from head to toe is very on trend. If you are feeling really bold, wear red shoes, red trousers, and a red shirt. This outfit would be perfect for a fashion show or a trip to the city.

• Choose different shades of red to help break the outfit up.
• If you like to blend in with the crowd, you may want to pick a muted shade rather than a bold one.

Combine red with mustard, pink, or silver to create an on-trend look.

Currently, pairing red with contrasting colors is a trendy look. Wear a red item of clothing with an item that clashes. A mustard or pink sweater paired with red flared trousers is a bold choice.

• This style works best for block colours. Wear a top that is completely red or mustard, rather than a top that has a mustard and red pattern.
• Pair red with light blue to create a slightly less bold, but still trendy look.
• You may want to avoid this look if you are going to a formal work event.

Wear a red dress if you want to create a classic and feminine look.

Red dresses are a fun way to wear red because you can style them in so many different ways. If you want a sexy and fun look, choose a fitting dress with a “v” shaped neckline. If you want a summery look, wear a loose fitting dress with spaghetti straps.

• Create a formal look by wearing a grey or gold blazer over a deep red dress. Alternatively, wear a leather jacket for a street look.
• Wear black leggings under your red dress in winter to create a classy feel for work or going out.

Wear a red suit if you want to stand out from the crowd.

Regardless of your gender, a red suit is an outfit that is sure to stand out. Where a full red suit if you are feeling brave, or a red suit jacket if you want a more conservative look.

• A deep red suit with a white dress shirt and black shoes would make for a stunning outfit.
• Try wearing a red jumpsuit or red overalls if you want a less formal option.

 

2. Green

There are some easy-to-wear colors. They go with almost anything and all, and you don’t have to think twice about getting dressed in that color.

And then there are colors to scratch your head, wondering how to wear it. What are the best ways to look like? What’s it all about? How can I get this color off without looking stupid?

For most individuals out there, Green is certainly the latter. It’s not that green isn’t lovely (because it’s!), it’s just that individuals often find it more difficult than other colors to wear and style.

Well, we’re offering you the 411 today on how to wear your green color well beyond St. Patrick’s Day-and how to do it without a leprechaun!

Complementary colors (the reverse colors on the color wheel) are generally a good idea from the standpoint of color harmony.

But in this case, with red being the complementary color of green, this mixture should mostly be prevented for the apparent Christmas vibes it invokes (except in the month of December).

Around this the way to work is to change your shades. So play around with colors other than green Christmas tree and red Santa, and you may stumble on something enjoyable and unexpected! That’s a excellent illustration of this dress.

Florals for spring? Bottom-up, right? But what actually works better together than florals and greenery? Create a spring-ready look to develop a new spring look by adding florals with Pull in green florals. The whole earth is ablooming in spring after all. So why not add some blooms to your outfit?

For instance, this can be achieved through a floral blouse or accessories such as the scarf Carrie wrapped in the above pictures around her waist.

Analogous color combos are those color combinations adjacent on the color wheel to each other. These combinations produce harmony of natural color. Its analogous colors are green, yellow and blue.

And this doesn’t necessarily mean that in the particular piece of clothing / outfit you’re wearing, the colors are next to each other ; it could just be a combination of them throughout your look.

 

3. Black

Black: distinguishable, classy, mysterious, and even rebellious-everything relies on how you wear it. Black is semi-unique among colors because it works well with almost everything, so when you put together an outfit that utilizes black, you have plenty of choices. While there is no “correct” way to wear black, there are many, many ways to create a excellent black outfit, so try these style tips now!

Pair it with colourful or courageous accessories like a red belt or a chunky declaration necklace to wear a black outfit with style. You can also attempt to experiment with textures such as laying a black silk shirt under a blazer of plain black cotton to produce an exciting contrast. Another excellent way to wear black is to combine it with over-the-top prints, such as animal prints or brilliant metallics. If you want a more classy look, attempt a black dress shirt with dark jeans and tie for a simple company look, and add accessories such as cufflinks. Keep reading! for more tips, including how to wear accessories with white or black accent.

Wear black casual clothes for a cool, understated look.

Affordable, everyday black clothing can make a striking impression. Black somehow makes casual outfits look “put together.” Best of all, since most people wear these sorts of clothes often in their day-to-day lives, you’ll be getting a good value out any clothes you end up using.

• Examples: Black t-shirts, jeans, shorts, socks, skirts, belts, baseball caps, tennis shoes, etc.
• Notes: Try to avoid a 100%-black outfit when you’re wearing casual clothing. One-color outfits can make your features blend together, giving you a “formless” look. For instance, a black t-shirt looks great with blue or grey jeans, but if you’re wearing it with black jeans, you might use a different-colored belt to break up the monotony.

Wear black semi-formal clothes for an intellectual look.

Black is perfect if you’re trying to make a “bookish” or “artistic” impression. Use a single eye-catching black accessory to lend a little artsy flair to outfit or wear a black academic-inspired outfit to show that you’re busy pondering life’s deeper questions.

• Examples: Black turtlenecks, flannel shirts, older blazers, scarves, boots, glasses, jewelry, berets, accessories, makeup, etc.
• Notes: Quirky and antique-style accessories go great with these types of outfits. For example, an out-of-fashion scarf from the 1970s suddenly looks deliberate and fashionable on an intellectual with a black beret at the coffee shop.

Wear black formal wear for any serious occasion.

When it comes to formal occasions, always bet on black. “Nice” black clothes are a great investment because they’re appropriate for almost any formal get-together, from weddings to funerals. Black formal wear is stately, elegant, attractive, and respectful all at once — you’ll never be sorry to wear it when you’re enjoying the finer things in life.

• Examples: Black suits, dresses, tuxedos, veils, earrings, ties, scarves, cufflinks, dress shirts, dress pants, leather shoes, high heels, etc.

Wear form-fitting black clothes for a sleek look.

Believe it or not, there’s some scientific truth to the old saying “black is slimming.” Black outfits absorb light, rather than reflect it, so they tend to make it hard to see the wrinkles, lines, and shadows that ordinarily form on a person’s clothes. This can give black outfits a slimmer, sleeker look than similar colored outfits, making them perfect for when you want to play up your lean, athletic features.

• Examples: Yoga pants, athletic shorts, ballet tights, workout clothes, “under armor,” skinny jeans, tight leather jackets, etc.
• Notes: The fit of these clothes plays a big role in how they make you look — a big, baggy black workout shirt won’t have a slimming effect, for instance.

Use distressed, “punky” black outfits as a show of youthful rebellion.

From Green Day to The Cure, many important rock acts have used black clothing as part of their image. This sort of clothing usually gives the impression of “defiance” — in other words, you know you look like a punk, and you don’t care one bit!

• Examples: Black skinny jeans, band t-shirts, studded clothing, distressed jeans, fishnet stockings, ragged skirts, painted nails, makeup, etc.
• Notes: If you’re looking to go all-out, consider extreme options like dyed-black hairdos, nose piercings, and so on. However, keep in mind that these fashion choices can be bad choices for certain situations. For instance, it’s never a good idea to go to a job interview dressed like you’ve just gotten back from a headbanging punk show.

Use black-accented accessories for a distinguished, versatile look.

It’s not just black clothes that go well with almost everything. Black accessories are very versatile as well and can be used to spice up a huge variety of outfits. Use black accessories to add a touch of class to casual multicolored clothes or match them with mostly-black outfits for a deliberate, put-together look — it’s all up to you!

• Examples: Black horn-rimmed glasses, leather purses, messenger bags, gloves, watches, jewelry, piercings, hair bands, etc.

 

4. White

White may be a hard to wear color, but it doesn’t have to be. It can actually be flexible. You can wear an all-white outfit, or just about any imaginable color you can mix white with. In any season, including winter, you can also wear white. Once you understand the basics of wearing white, there are endless possibilities for your outfit.

If it’s close to your face, match the white shade to your skin tone. Kalee Hewlett, an expert in fashion and lifestyle, tells: “When we say certain colors are washing us out, we’re always referring to the color nearest to your neckline. For example, if you have olive skin, you’ll look good in brilliant white. However, if you wear a blue top with a white skirt, it doesn’t really matter what color you wear as you don’t see that color against your face’s skin tone.

Choose linens and cottons during the warmer months, especially summer.

Summer is the perfect time to break out your favorite white pants, skirts, and dresses. The bright sun will give your skin that perfect glow, and it will help make your white clothes sparkle even more. You can even try a white cotton or linen blazer during the summer.

• Try something loose and flowing in the summer, such as peasant blouses or maxi dresses. If you’d like a more streamlined look, wear a wide belt around your waist to cinch in the excess fabric.

Choose woolens and cashmeres during the colder months, especially winter.

Yes, you can wear white even during the winter. What really matters, however, is the material. A white, linen dress may look out of place during the winter, but a cozy winter sweater will be everyone’s envy. Similarly, white linen or silk pants may look out of place in the winter, but white jeans will look right at home.

• White parkas and jeans are great for the winter.
• Other materials that work in winter include: fur, leather, and mohair.

Mix and match difference textures when wearing an all white outfit to keep things interesting.

There is nothing wrong with pairing white shoes with a white skirt and a white shirt. To keep the outfit looking more interesting, however, try choosing pieces made from different materials. For example, you could try a cotton skirt with lacey top. You could also try a white leather jacket with white slacks. The different materials will help each piece look distinct, and they will keep your outfit from looking too bland.

• Some people find that mixing textures when wearing an all-white outfit also creates a slimming effect.

Try getting white fabrics with a simple, colored print.

If you are hesitant about wearing all white, you could always try something with a bold print. For example, you could try a white dress with a bold, black tribal or chevron print. Your outfit will still be predominantly white, but the pattern will add a touch of color.

Try different shades of white.

If you are very pale, you may find that white causes you to look washed out. Try a bright, crisp white without any warm or yellow undertones. You can also bring in a pop of color with a colorful accessory, such as a necklace or silk scarf. If you have a darker skin tone, try a warmer white; the contrast will still keep it looking white and bright, but not overly so.

• Try wearing different shades of white to keep an all-white ensemble interesting. For example, you can pair cool-toned pants and shirts with a warm-toned scarf or vest. Be careful, however; not all shades will match or look good together. Before stepping out, try to get a good look at your outfit in different lights: daylight, indoor light, and so forth.

Wear a slip or camisole under transparent whites.

Even if you are wearing skin-toned underwear and bras, transparent whites may reveal more than you’d like to show. When shopping, stick your hand under the fabric to determine whether or not you will need a slip or camisole. If possible, try to take the outfit over to a window, where you can see the transparency in daylight.
