Types of combinations

Complementary Colors: These are colors opposite each other on the color wheel, like blue and orange. They create a high contrast, vibrant look.
Analogous Colors: These are colors next to each other on the wheel, like blue and green, They look more in harmony.
Monochromatic look: These colors are more of a plain but clean look, we say “color” but technically white and black are not colors. They do offer a monochromatic look, this could also mean beige, gray, etc…. These colors are simple but clean and versatile, in which everyone can pull these off.

Types of colors

Neutrals: I mentioned monochromatic looks, this is where they get their combinations. With more neutral colors such as, the different shades of gray, navy blue, and the other colors mentioned previously.

Non-Neutrals: These are basically everything else that was not mentioned.

Choosing which colors go together

When it comes to choosing, the general rule is to choose a certain number of colors per outfit.

1 color: The easiest to pull off and works best and usually looks the best when each piece paired with neutral colors like an all black look.

2 color: You can mix and match any of the types of colors with even 2 different types of neutrals or 1 neutral and 1 non-neutral. When it comes to pairing with neutrals almost anything pairs well with them which makes it easier to choose from.

3 color: A more adventurous choice but when done right can elevate how you look. The usual best combination is 2 neutrals and 1 non neutral or vice versa, accessories could also count when it comes to choosing a certain color.

Try to choose colors that are a similar level of saturation, which makes a more cohesive combination that is very pleasing to the eye.
