It’s a well-known fact that summers are for bright and “happy” colors and summer clothes and winters are for “soft and soothing” colors. So we all know which colors would go in the categories. But, the dilemma tends to present itself when it is time to put two and two together. I mean, the difficulty seems to be in combining two colors to make color schemes that would create a presentable ensemble. Besides presentable, the color combinations for clothes should actually look good!

Color Combinations for Clothes and Advice for Women
Women need to make sure that they keep their skin color and body type in mind before selecting color combinations for their clothing. Like if you have a dark skin tone, you need to make sure that you pair a bright color with a dull color to sober down the impact. In case you are fair skinned, you need to pair up a dull color with a white or a black; this will give you a more defined look. However, you need to make sure you stick to the colors of the season. You will not be implicated if you don’t, but you might end up feeling a tad out of place. Another thing for the women to remember is to avoid wearing bright colored pants under all circumstances. Pants need to be conservatively colored. That will ensure that the rest of your ensemble stays in place. More so, with a traditionally colored pant, you can get away with wearing a radical shirt color combination, as well. It stabilized the ensemble and makes you look gorgeous.

Color combinations for dresses are a little easier to come up with. Like a baby pink would go wonderfully with browns and mint green. You could team it up with gray and turquoise as well. On the other hand, a dark pink goes well with yellows, lime green and browns as well. The all time favorite, cherry red, looks to die for with blues, pale orange and pale yellow. Do not take bright yellow with it, you can ruin your ensemble that way. With a lemon yellow, you could throw on browns, blues and grays. As such, always put the colors together and see if they team up well. Avoid experimenting with your color combination. Read the rest of this entry »
