You’ve probably heard this before but still don’t know why, sticking to the same/similar colours go easy on the eye and makes your outfit stand a better chance of being appreciated for its aesthetics. Having a uniformed colour combo helps you navigate the colour complexity without falling into the easy trap of being a colour riot clown
Keep your accessories in one colour
Accessorising with one colour is one way to avoid any fashion mishaps with your colour coordinates. Adding too much colour to an already colourful outfit might end up being the extra salt that makes an already tasty outfit tasteless
Don’t over accessorize (Especially the neck region)
A rule of thumb while accessoring prints especially on the upper body is to stay as simple as possible to project that elegant look and not the tacky/ cheap look that comes from pairing heavy or statement pieces with print tops. The look is already colourful and popping, trust me this is one time you don’t want to be known as the king of pop (pun intended hehehe)
Allow either Top or Bottom print colour to dominate
Simply put, match neutral prints with colourful prints. The key here is to make one part of the print outfit dominate as you do with plain colour styling. So the print on top can be vibrant while the print skirt/trouser is subtle or neutral
Contrast bold patterns with bold prints
The best print match I’ve ever seen is still that of Rihanna rocking leopard print top and skirt in different bold shades. If you want to go bold and make an impression, try contrasting your prints. The key is to make them have something in common like the type of print or shape.
P.S: Rocking print is cool chic and fashion forward, it’s not for the faint hearted and definitely worth experimenting but if you want to pull it off, you have to put in the work. The key is in the details!
