True and Tried Color Combinations
During the summer months tried and true color combinations can be
used to create light, breezy outfits that will show off your summer
tan. These color combinations work well for both men and women. You
can use these color combinations to put together outfits, or to
update your spring and summer wardrobe.
True and Tried Color Combinations #1 – Tan and White
Tan is a neutral color and so is white. Each of these colors can be
paired with just about any other color, however, they also look
great together. If you want to put together an outfit you will want
to keep white on top and the tan on the bottom. For example you may
want to pair a fitted white polo shirt with tan trousers that have a
drawstring waist. This will create a very island vacation feel. To
complete the outfit, select a cute pair of brown leather sandals or
flip flops.
True and Tried Color Combinations #2 – Blue and White
White and blue also make a crisp color combination that is
appropriate for both casual summer events and dressier events. For
casual event you can pair light blue with white, and for dressier
events consider the nautical navy blue and white color combination.
This color combination works well in strips, solid separates, or as
accent colors. For example you can wear a white dress and accent it
with a blue shrug. Or you can wear a blue dress and accent it with a
white beaded necklace and bangles.
True and Tried Color Combinations #3 – Pastels
If you want a goof proof way to pair colors together for summer then
you may want to stay within a family of colors like pastels. You can
pair just about any pastels together to create a soft looking
outfit. The key for creating a pastel outfit is to keep things
balanced. You will generally want to select one pastel for the
majority of your outfit and then accent it with other pastels. If
you don’t know if two pastels go together don’t try to mix solid
pieces together. For example avoid a solid pastel pink top with a
solid pastel blue bottom.
True and Tried Color Combinations #4 – Black and White
Black and white are both colors that go with just about anything.
However, when they are paired together they can create a very
dramatic look. This color combination is perfect for formal events
and dressier occasions. You will probably want to avoid this
dramatic combination for casual events and day activities.
True and Tried Color Combinations – Primary Colors
Primary colors, red, blue and yellow, work well together. The color
saturation of these colors will influence how bold, or how soft the
look you create will be. Because these colors tend to be very bold
you may want to pair them with white pieces, or break up their
intensity with white blocks or stripes.
