The combination of colors in clothes

The ability to correctly match the colors in clothes is an important skill, owning which, you can always look great!

First, let's talk about the monochrome group, which consists of a line of one color spectrum. That is, your image should be made in a single color scheme, things can differ only in shade - from dark to light.

The easiest and most popular monochrome is black. An autfit made in this color is called total black. The image executed in white color, respectively, total white looks effectively.

But you should not get hung up on neutral colors, look in bright colors to look much more interesting. Several shades in the image look more interesting and richer than a single-color composition.

In this case, it is permissible to add an accessory of a different color. For example, dilute the white ensemble with a yellow clutch or gray with red.

Contrast colors or related contrast can be well combined with each other. Effectively in a pair of colors look, located opposite each other in the color wheel. A pair can be as bright, expressive, and softer, if you reduce the contrast.

There are several options for how to combine 3 colors in one image. For example, in the likeness, using related shades in one bow. A very common combination is the triad - a combination of three shades, which on the color wheel can be joined into an equilateral triangle. You can independently connect lines to find the most interesting combinations. If you have a red coat and green pants, the color circle will help you to choose a blouse or a jumper that will look harmonious in this image.

The combination of four colors is called tetrad and requires certain skills. Its principle is based on a combination of colors that are represented on a color wheel as a square or rectangle. At the same time, it is permissible to remove one of the flowers from this “quartet”, but the image will still remain harmonious.

Remember these combinations is very difficult, so when you make such a bow, you must use the circle, or you can focus on ready-made combinations, peeped on the trendy website or gloss pages.

Classic or basic - these are universal colors that will suit any color type.

The classic ones are black, gray, white, beige, brown and blue.

• Black color is elegant, well slim figure. He is always in fashion, especially if you choose things of a classic cut. Combining with black is best contrasting colors, light or bright.
• Gray is restrained and conservative, its palette is vast, it has a lot of subtones.Combinations with gray clothes are calm and soft.

In everyday images, gray is best combined with a neutral and pastel color scheme. If you want a more grunge look, use graphite and black, putting the accent in the form of bright red lipstick or shoes.

• White is the color of restraint and innocence. It has a huge number of shades, from cold snow to warm milk. Combine with white color can be clothes of pastel, delicate color, and can be bright and catchy. White catches his eye by himself, but if you add a bright accent to the image, he will cease to be a soloist, and will become a complement or background. After all, this is a very compromise color.

• Beige - soft and as neutral as possible, because it is the color of bare skin. However, he is often worn by rich people, so he also began to be associated with luxury. He has a lot of shades, in this he surpasses even the white color, only brown can match his versatility. Composing an image with beige, avoid sharp colors. Prefer bright or soft shades that will make the image light and elegant.

The division into warm and cold shades corresponds to the seasons. Winter colors (blue, blue and violet) are considered cold, summer ones are warm (red, yellow, orange). Although the principle of the distribution of colors is much deeper.

There are many complex shades that can be attributed to both cold and warm.

Green color is on the border, because it has the greatest number of both warm and cold hues.

• Shades of blue and purple with the addition of white, black or red. For example, azure, royal (royal blue), cornflower, cobalt and others. These colors are combined with cold or neutral colors, or saturated contrast.

• Shades of green range from very light water to piercingly bright turquoise and malachite. These include mint, menthol, jade, emerald, gray-green. These are rather strict shades that look good with gray, pink, purple. If you want to get a bright memorable image, wear them with red, orange or yellow.

• Pink includes all shades that are derived from purple and violet. These are fresh colors that go well with gray, yellow, olive, blue, blue and all herbal shades.

• The yellow color includes all the pastel colors of this color.

• Warm shades of blue are very complex, usually with a hint of green, because they are formed by mixing with yellow. This is blue-green, turquoise, celadon, denim, steel, blue-gray, Prussian blue. Images with these colors are soft and calm. It is best to complement them with the same warm tones.
• In warm colors, green color is revealed in full. Shades can be with a yellow or olive subtone. The brightness of shades in each group varies, depending on the amount of admixture of gray. These colors elevate your mood, fill the image with a soft glow. You can combine them with both cold and warm colors.
• Warm shades of pink are formed from orange and red. These are all colors with peach, coral, flamingo, strawberry and salmon. Best of all these shades are combined with soft, light colors, but also revealed in combination with cold blue. They can be worn with beige-brown colors, olive, khaki, gray-lilac.
• Yellow colors are saturated and bright, they can be with a red, orange and brown subtone. These include apricot, banana, corn, mustard, saffron, lemon, canary, golden. They look good with warm and cold colors.

There are 7 types of contrasting combinations, in turn, each combination consists of several types of contrast.

• According to lightness - dark and light clothes are combined in one bow.

• By temperature - a combination of cold and warm colors. It can be the most cold and warm shades, or softer, with a small temperature difference. For example, as in the case of pastel tones.
• By saturation - in a single image using neutral and complex or muted shades.
• The size of the color spot - the image is built in a neutral color scheme, with the addition of bright details. Most often it is a shirt or blouse, but there can also be trousers, a skirt. Using this technique, you can draw attention from the shortcomings and focus on the merits of the figure.
• Mix additional colors. To understand this contrast, you need to understand the concept of the color wheel, which we will discuss below. It is based on the principle of combining diametrically opposite colors in one image.
• Simultaneous contrast - a combination of gray clothes with different colors.

Combining with each other incompatible, at first glance, shades, it may seem quite a challenge. You can start small by diluting your image with bright accessories.

For example, adding a pair of shoes of a lilac shade to a green dress, or diluting a monochrome mint look with purple boats. A saffron dress in a company with cobalt boots will look good.

You can start small by combining your favorite colors with one another, which you have not decided to combine in one bow before. For these purposes, red is great, which is unexpectedly revealed in a company with lavender, Barbie color or a touch of pink quartz.

Gradually, it will be possible to combine in one image not two, but several bright colors at once. It is best to use pure rainbow colors, which can be supplemented with a calm discreet image.

Contrary to popular belief, black outerwear is not for everyone. He looks good on girls with bright features, preferably, on the color type "winter", which is rare among Slavic women. If you do not have a contrasting appearance, it is better to forget about the black coat. Wearing a black coat is best with accessories in red or white.

Brown coats are also popular, although it is rather difficult to select accessories for them. It looks best with blue, perhaps with green or yellow. Not every girl is going to decide on a shoe and a handbag of such bright color, therefore think several times before choosing brown outerwear.

As in the case of outerwear, there is a misconception that black shoes are universal and suitable for any clothes. Of course, black shoes make the little foot small, and the image is elegant, but they do not fit well with the colored and light clothing, which we most often prefer today.

Black shoes are good in those images where black color prevails. It could be a business suit, a little black dress, or perhaps a gray suit.

Forget about black shoes, if brown color scheme prevails in your bow, beige or brown shoes match your tone much better.

Try to wear white shoes if white is already present in the image. Since white visually makes the foot larger, try to avoid white boots and shoes that are quite large in size.

Leave white shoes for summer by choosing open shoes or sandals with high heels. True, this does not apply to white sneakers, which, in combination with blue jeans, have already become a classic.

The main taboo - do not wear white shoes with pants or jeans in black, and even more so, do not wear black tights. The bottom should be light and light, to match the shoes.

It works well with the classic color scheme - black, brown, gray, navy, beige, possibly red.
• It is best to pick up a bag not under shoes, but under clothes. For example, for a dress with a pattern, you can choose a handbag to match the color of the pattern. A shoe or bag can be matched exactly to the color of the clothes, but not both of these items at the same time.

• To show your individual style, mix not only colors, but also textures.
• For shoes with animalistic or floral print, you can pick up a bag to match, but not the same colors. A striking example - shoes and accessories leopard colors, which can not be used in one image!
• For bright shoes you should not pick up a black bag, it will create a feeling of an unfinished image. It is better to choose a color accessory in a different color, which is duplicated by some other detail of the bow.
• If you rely on beige or black, try to keep shoes and handbag from different materials. Leather shoes and lacquer clutch, suede sandals and textile bag.
