COMBINING COLOURS IN CLOTHS.

In our world today many people lack the sense of combining colours when it comes to dressing or fashion as a whole and this has become a serious problem in our dressing styles. 

  People buy expensive cloths,yes! In an attempt to look good or create attention but when they combine this dresses together it becomes a nuisance.

Combining colours in clothes sounds easy, but we will often find it is a task that can drive us around the bend. By combining our clothes we must take into account manyfactors such as the colour of our hair, the tone of our skin or if we want to emphasise the colour of our eyes. On the other hand, it also depends on individual style (colour-blocking and neon colours operate differently) and taste. Color combination should be based on our particular tastes and style to make us look effortlessly cool. Here we propose some tricks so you know how to combine colors in clothes and you can adapt these to your style.

1. To combine colors in clothes in a flattering way, there are two basic rulesthat must be taken into account according to the chromatic circle, in which we can distinguish primary colors (blue, yellow and red) and secondary colors (orange, green and violet). The two main rules so you never fail with your look are:

• Cameo: Combining clothes items that are close together in the chromatic circle, such as beige and brown.
• Contrast: Combining clothes items that are completely opposed in the chromatic circle.

  

2.Moreover, there are other basic tips that will help you combine colors in clothes in a simple way and allowing you to find the perfect outfit for any occasion. Take into account the following tips:

• Black, white, grey and light beige are perfect with nearly all other colours and combine very well with each other.
• Beware of prints. It is not advisable to wear two printed items at the same time. Instead, combine a printed clothes item with a colored items that are also present in the print. If you do want to combine two prints, make it subtle and use it on one accessory.

• Mix cold colours with silver accessories and warm colours with golden accessories.
• Have a good basic wardrobe. There are basic clothes which are useful to combine colours. Keep a white and a black shirt or t-shirt. Keep tights in various tones and and a couple of pairs of jeans.
• Wear your shoes and bag in the same colour. It is not at all compulsory, but if your look is of a single colour, combining the shoes and the bag may give a fun touch to your outfit.
• Avoid combining more than three different colors that don't belong to the same chromatic range, as the effect could not be very flattering.

  

3.When creating your daily looks it's also useful to have a small guide to what tones combine with each color, this way you won't have as many doubts when it comes to combining the clothes in your closet.

We'll start with black! As it is commonly said,black combines with nearly everything, as it's perfect to look elegant on any occasion and it will boost the intensity of bright colors, but we must avoid other dark colors such as dark blue or brown if we don't want to get an excessively dark look.

4.White goes perfectly with all coloursand when combined with black, we can get one of the best possible combinations to sport a sophisticated, elegant and sensual look. Combine your white clothes with the colors you like best, but avoid wearing tones that are too light, for example with a light tone of yellow, as it won't stand out as much, you'll look pale and it won't suit you.

5.Blue is another of the main colors in most wardrobes, and you must know it combines perfectly with white, as it's ideal to create a fashionable navy look, but it also looks good with beige, camel, grey and red, burgundy and burdeaux tones. However, you should take into account the tone of blue you're going to combine, as not all combinations will allow the same tone!
