Colors and Patterns

Hello all! In this post, we will be talking about colors and patterns.

To start off, you have to learn that anything goes with black. We're talking about, blue, yellow, green, neon, purple, anything. This color is the base when it comes to color coding. Can't find a right color? Choose the easy way out with black.

Colors in General-
Remember, try to have a variety of colors when it comes to your clothing, and avoid wearing a single solid color. We would suggest having at least three to four colors between your shirt, pants, shoes, ties, or sweaters, but keeping a theme between them to tie the outfit together. When choosing colors, your best bet would be to choose complementary colors on the color wheel.

Light Colors-
Especially when it comes to light colors, you can not wear just one color. If you are wear a light blue button down, you cannot wear light blue pants. Light colors on light colors will make you stand out of the crowd, yes, but not in a good way. We suggest a nice gray tone to match light colors, but if you must, dark colors will work well with a light mixture as well.

Dark Colors-
Dark colors can be difficult when it comes to shirt color, so let's start with the pants. For pants, it's easy to find a matching color. Dark pants will usually work well with both light shirts and dark shirts. Either color palette works very well. However, shirts that are dark do not work well with most light pants. It's a horrible color disaster and never matches well. The only light colors that can really work well with dark tops are white and khaki.

Patterns-
Patterns are some of the most difficult clothing styles to wear, and as such should be used carefully. Patterns can be a great way to add some personality to your outfit, but you have to be careful not to make it too busy. As such, we would recommend starting with one patterned piece of clothing per outfit. Also, it might be a good idea to start with smaller patterns rather than jumping right into bold, statement pieces.
