If you did, what do you think about my list? Let me know your opinion in the comment box below âşď¸!
In the next post (Fashion section), I am going to mix and match my favorite items in each category in the previous post. But, before that, I want to share how I do mix-and-match. This is the first part of the explanation on how to mix-and-match a fashion item. If you like this post, let me know through the comment box below, and I will post the second part of the how-to đ!
To make it easier to understand, I will give you an example of this blazer.
Here are the basic steps you need to know about mix-and-matching fashion item:
(1.) First, we must list the main colors used in the item.
The dominant colors of this blazer is (of course) BLACK. Then, we must see the colors of the sequined part, I see turquoise blue, , fuchsia or hot pink, and a base color of silver. Therefore, these 4 colors will be our guide when searching for the right top, pants or skirt, shoes, and accessories to match this blazer.
(2.) Second, we pick one color we want to use as reference colors when mix and match it with the other items in our body.
We do realize there is two part with two different fabrics on this blazer, the black and the sequined part. Now, if we aim for a more formal, official, and mature appearance, we will pick the black color as our main color to match with the rest of the attire. But, if we want to show a cooler, more stylish, playful, and eye-catching appearance, then we must match the other items with colors in the sequined part.
In this case, I want to show a cooler and more stylish appearance to my friends, so Iâm going to find matching items in colors I spot in the sequined part.
(3.) Third, make sure the color we pick for the other item, match with our main colors.
The color we pick for the other items may be different from our main colors, but still, they have to match. For example, the main colors in this blazer is black, turquoise blue, fuchsia or hot pink, and silver. Letâs say Iâm picking out a short pants, which color I best pick?
a. Yellow
b. Bright Green
c. Teal
For this case, I pick C. Why?
(3.1.) Find a color that has the same tone and vibe
Well, yellow is also categorized bright color just like colors used in the sequined part; But, this kind of yellow do not match with every colors in this blazer. It only matches with the black part, but not with the sequined part. Colors used in sequined part has a neon effect that its brightness and contrast is twice the yellow, it also has that sparkly effect, so, they are not in the same tone. In my opinion, neon colors is best matched with black, white, dark blue, dark grey, or the same neon colors.
(3.2.) Find a color that match in terms of color
This bright green doesnât match in color matching. Not only it has different tone, bright green doesnât match turquoise blue, fuschia, let alone trying to match bright green with both turquoise blue and fuchsia combined together đ¤.
Considering these two steps, C is the best match the teal color has a neon effect as well and it goes well with each color, with black, fuschia, silver, with turquoise blue.
However, this color picking part depends a lot on a your personal preference. So, we can never judge if someoneâs style is wrong, because none of our taste is wrong, WHEN WE FEEL CONFIDENT IN IT. We can dislike otherâs style if their style is different to ours, but we can't mock or badmouth them. Since everyone is born with different personality, we will have a lot of difference regarding our personal taste, so it is normal and we must always respect! :D
