    @westfieldartworks8188 5 років тому +2

    I've found, at least for me, that one of the coolest and smoothest looks is an outfit is one that is composed mainly of " analogous grays." That is, two colors that exist next to each other on the wheel, in their grayer version,,....and of the same value (lightness or darkness). for example: Light Blue Gray jeans, with a Light Violet Gray button down. Dark Blue Gray Jeans with a Dark Blue/Green Gray Henley. Middle Orange Gray (brown) Chino's with a Middle Yellow Gray (Ochre) Crew Neck Sweater,...and so on. You can go around the whole color wheel and find tons of possibilities that fit into this Analogous color harmony scheme. So only slight contrast in Color, with very little or no contrast in Value or Saturation/Intensity of the colors. If the largest items (pants and tops) are made from that, then whatever accessories or shoes you put on will go nicely. I hope that's not too over simplified,..but as a beginner I really find a lot of possibilities with that harmony. Thank you.

  • @anuyorker
    @anuyorker 6 років тому +6

    I think finding the right colors for your complexion is more important than matching. Assuming people are not combining outrageously incompatible colors, they can combine almost any color that suits their skin undertones.
    example: With light brown skin and neutral to cool undertones I can rock maroon shirt and teal chinos in the same outfit but my white friends would look tacky with that pairing. On the flip side, I would look ridiculous in something like beige chinos with a burnt orange sweater, but they'd pull it off.

    Try to match yourself with the right formality. And don't forget belt and buckle. They are simply put but maybe indicate the quality of your dressing. The same way with the metal watches which should match the belt and buckle. Silver goes with silver while gold goes with gold.
