All colours are the friends of their neighbours and the lovers of their opposites
Mark Chagall
At some point in everyone’s life the colour wheel was introduced. Most people think that which colours go together is basic knowledge. However, lots of outfits are thrown together and can cause people to get the wrong kind of stares. Every day is not supposed to be a fashion show. However, when you look good it makes you feel good. When putting an outfit together most people choose an outfit that reflects their mood and the weather. Many forget that the colour wheel is a helpful tool for matching colours within outfits. On the colour wheel, the colours that look best together are the ones that are diagonal to eachother. If you’ve ever heard of the saying that opposities attract it is accurate when colour matching.
On the other hand, many colour combinations look extremely wacky when placed together. For example, green and orange. The warmth that orange brings does not combine well with green. Weird colour combinations can also come from a lack of shades. White, Black, and Grey are your friend when coming up with outfits. Having too much colour in one outfit can just cause an outfit to be chaotic rather than classy. This means that in every outfit a shade should be included to balance out the colour. The same goes for an outfit that is entirely of shades. Having a hint of colour in an outfit that could be entirely black or white will give the outfit just enough pizzazz.
