This time of year, it is all about layering. We do not always need the very heavy jumpers, but we do need to layer our items which allows us to take off if need be. It has been cold, and I am a lover of my long-sleeved thermal top but as temperatures vary sometimes that is not needed.
This time of year, it is all about layering with colour.
We all know how to layer up, but have you thought about what colours go with what. This is where you can experiment with different colour combinations.
You could go tonal and wear different shades of the same colour. For example, you could choose a camel pair of trousers, brown boots, cream jumper, with a animal print blouse over the top, followed by a chocolate brown jacket and a bag in any of those colours. This is a nice classic look and if you have the classic personality is one you will wear very well.
What about colour I hear you say.
Well, I am the colour lady! You could wear several different items on in one colour but different shades like this photo taken in John Lewis. Here we have many shades of blue that will all work with each other. All seasons like blue, just choose the correct shade for you and it will work.
This time of year, it is all about layering with colour.
I would go for colour every time as it makes me feel better and gives me the energy that I need. Blue and green are a favourite combination of mine as I love my denim jeans and skirts and green looks great with denim. Choose your shade of green to wear on top and it will work its magic with your skin tone.
Colour combinations you may like to try.
Green and pink in your personal shade always look fab, and coral and blue too if you are a warm
Look in your wardrobe and have a play putting different colours together and see how they look. If you can see the colour combination in nature, then you know that it will work. Hence your shade of green makes a great wardrobe staple as a good base neutral as so many colours you can pair with it.
Check out my Pinterest board Colour Combinations for some different ideas on which colours to pair with each other.
Conclusion
Colour to me is all about having fun and feeling frivolous and showing your personality. Not everyone wants to wear bright colours and bright colours do not suit everyone. It’s about finding your true colours that bring out the best in you. If you would like some help with that check out my website for details of what a Colour Consultation with me involves.
Have a play, either at the shops, go into the changing room with lots of different colours and try different colours together. Take photos and see what works for you. Or just go shopping in your own wardrobe, take a pair of your favourite trousers and try pairing them with lots of different colours and see how many new outfits you can find.
Let me know how you get on; I would love to hear from you.
