Basics of Color Coordinating

Today I'm going to talk about basics. Like taking you back to fashion preschool.
A lot of people seem to hate shopping because they don't know how to pair things together. If you have ever seen What Not To Wear, the stylist on that show are very big on getting basic pieces the all coordinate with each other. This requires color coordinating.

No one wants a closet full of clothes that don't go together.
Solution: NEUTRAL COLORS!
Some people seem to think that the only neutral colors are black, white, and brown.
WRONG!
The meaning of "neutral color" simply means with out color.
-Ivory, beige, taupe, gray, tan, khaki, cream, pale peach, and even navy (YES NAVY BLUE IS A NEUTRAL WHEN IT COME TO CLOTHES!)
These are all neutral colors that most people don't know about.



Okay! so now you know what neutral colors are.
But you don't want a closet full of just neutrals either.
2nd Solution: NEUTRALS GO WITH EVERYTHING!
Seriously, you have a pair khaki, tan, ivory, navy pants they will go with ANY color shirt!
You can pair neutrals with neutrals but just make sure you add a pop of color somewhere in the outfit. Like a brightly colored shoe, or accessory. Metalics go great when pairing neutrals as well.
Examples:



Thats the basics of color coordinating.
