Steps
- Pay attention to what's popular. Make sure what ever is going on is "in style." Check out some magazines.
- Try to find colours that are "you", and that you personally like.
- Always wear what's in season. When it's winter, try using lighter colors such as light blue and white. If it's autumn, incorporating colours like maroon, evergreen, mustard yellow, and orange will be pleasing to the eye, as it matches with the season. When it's spring, pastels like mint, robin's egg blue, and rose pink give a softer look often associated with spring. In summer, sunny yellows, bright blues, and other intense colours match the greenery of summer.
- Use colours that remind people of things. For example, light pink, brown, and white seem to remind people of Neapolitan ice cream.
- Pick out the right colour for the right pattern. For example, if you want to use a checker board pattern, don't use lime green and pink.
- Use the colour wheel. The phrase "opposites attract," in this case, is true. For example, white and black look great together. Purple and green look good together, too. Using complementary colours also can attract attention to an area or feature.
- Choose a signature colour or a couple of colours for a particular outfit and use them boldly.
- Use the right colours for your skin tone and colouration. Try different colours against your skin and learn which palettes look best on you. Greens look amazing on brunettes, and blonds are beautiful in blues. Ravens have it easier, because black goes along with anything, but do not think that colours are restricted to certain types of people.
- Explore the Internet and search for pics of people and a certain colour or colours you are unsure of to see what it looks like on them.
- Finally, get a second opinion from a friend or family member.
Tips
- Matching brighter colours with neutrals helps balance an outfit.
- Have your own style, you never know, you might start a trend!
- Ex. Rose pink with light grey, green with brown, blue with sand yellow, mint with white, plum with black, etc.
Warnings
- Never use holiday colors like red and green UNLESS it is close to that holiday.
- Try to be careful if you are wearing outdated accessories and catch up!
- Try to avoid gray colors with bright colors such as yellow.
