Advice on Color Matching For Clothing - 6 Ultimate Tips

Stefanie too used to ROFCMAO (rolling on floor crying my a*s out) shouting hysterically ‘I need advice on color matching for clothing!’ like a baby when I’m lost in matching the right colors for my party look. Until I came across an article by Innah Alexis along with some useful fashion tips from Freak & Elegance designers, I’m becoming a guru now. *Cocky*

In essence, color wheel familiarization is the first step towards endearing color matching. There are three main categories - primary, secondary and complementary colors. Getting familiar with it serves as a stepping stone for the savoir faire on appropriate color mishmash in clothing fashion hence bump up your individual sense of style.

COOL AND WARM COLORS. Cool and warm colors can make your physical beauty radiate by accentuating your skin tone. The naturally soothing cool colors give an impression of calmness while the naturally flamboyant warm colors reflect boldness and energy. In the color wheel, from red clockwise to green are warm colors which includes violet and blue. The rest such as orange, yellow and yellow-green, are the cool colors. Gold and silver should serve as the basis to determine on what class you are in. Cool colors would pamper you more if your skin meshes with gold while warm colors would fit you more if it goes along well with silver.
MONOCHROMATIC COMBINATION. The term monochromatic style means a single color of various hues or shades is used in your clothing color mix and match. The lack of color contrast brings a more delicate and serene scheme. Therefore, this type of color matching for clothing highlights simplicity. As a rule of thumb, it is embellished with accessories like scarf, pins and choker for additional design. Bear in mind that matchy-matchy is boring-boring: Never put on the same shade of the same color from head-to-toe without a thing to break the colors.
COMPLEMENTARY COLOR MATCHING. Complementary colors point to those pairs of opposite colors such as red and green, yellow and violet, orange and blue and so on. These color blends contrast, boost and intensify each other. It’s suitable for people with light skin complexion but it must not be used with an offhand manner. It’s true that its tone and hue are eye-catching but it’s true also that too much usage would become an eyesore. The use of neutral color like white and black for your hat, bag and shoes will definitely make it work better with your clothing fashion.
ANALOGOUS COLORS. This color scheme is going to be your most beloved darling if you want to have fashion look that showcases harmony. They are neighbors on the color wheel that mesh harmoniously with each other like purple and blue or yellow, gold and orange. Its nature of less glowing, intense and saturated makes it best worn both during daytime and nighttime.
TRIAD COLOR MATCHING. Triadic colors are those three colors found 120 degrees separated on the color wheel. Being considered as high-energy colors like primary (red, blue and yellow) and secondary (purple, orange and green), this kind of color mishmash is perfect for casual and sporty apparel to radiate vigor and dynamic mood. Anyway, due to its high intensity, it is more sensible to tint or use various shades for one or two colors to shun color vibration. For instance, the combination of bright red, pastel blue and baby yellow or purple, light orange and apple green is the right thing to do.
NEUTRAL COLORS. Last but not least, black, white, brown and gray are the neutral or safe colors to be matched with any color or various colors. The simplicity and blankness of these colors more often than not give more highlighting to the other colors.
