Do you ever feel like you don’t have a personal style? Do you ever buy clothes that look good on the rack but don’t make you feel good when you wear them? Do you ever wonder how to mix and match colours in a way that reflects who you are? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this blog post is for you!
In this post, I will share with you my journey of finding my personal style by mixing neutral and colorful fashion. I will also give you some tips and tricks on how to create a colorful wardrobe that suits your style.
My Fashion Struggle
I have always loved fashion, but I never felt like I had a personal style. I used to buy clothes that were trendy or that looked good on other people, but I didn’t really pay attention to how they made me feel. I often ended up with a closet full of clothes that I didn’t wear or that didn’t suit me.
I also had a hard time mixing and matching colours. I didn’t know how to create contrast, harmony, or balance with different hues. I either stuck to safe and boring combinations, like black and white, or I went for random and chaotic ones, like purple and orange. I felt like I was missing something, but I didn’t know what it was.
My Fashion Breakthrough
One day, I decided to try something different. I decided to mix neutral and colourful fashion. I had read some articles online about how to find your personal style and how to mix neutrals and statement colours.
I learned some basic concepts of colour theory, such as the colour wheel, the temperature of colours, and the natural contrast. I also learned how to work with my skin tone, my natural contrast, and my mood.
I started experimenting with different colour combinations, using neutral colors as a base and adding pops of bright colours as accents. I also played with different textures, patterns, and accessories to add more interest and variety to my outfits. I realized that mixing neutral and colourful fashion gave me more freedom and flexibility to express myself and my personality.
My Fashion Tips
Here are some of the tips and tricks that I learned and that helped me find my personal style by mixing neutral and colourful fashion:
- Start with a neutral base: A neutral base is a great way to start building your outfit. Neutral colours are easy to mix and match and they create a clean and elegant canvas for your colourful pieces. You can choose any neutral colours that suits your skin tone, such as white, black, gray, beige, khaki, or navy.
- Add a pop of colour: A pop of colour is a great way to add some fun and flair to your outfit. You can choose any color that makes you happy, such as red, yellow, green, blue, or pink. You can add a pop of color with a statement piece, such as a coat, a dress, or a sweater, or with an accessory, such as a scarf, a bag, or a pair of shoes.
- Use the color wheel: The color wheel is a useful tool to help you find colors that work well together. You can use different methods to create natural contrast, such as complementary colors (opposite on the wheel), analogous colors (next to each other on the wheel), or split-complementary colors (one primary color and two secondary colors).
- Play with textures and patterns: Textures and patterns can add more depth and dimension to your outfit. You can mix different textures, such as leather, denim, wool, or silk, to create contrast and interest. You can also mix different patterns, such as stripes, checks, florals, or animal prints, to create variety and fun. Just make sure to balance them out with some solid colours and keep them in the same colour family.
- Accessorize with care: Accessories can make or break your outfit. They can add some personality and spice to your look, but they can also overwhelm it if you use too many or too loud ones. The key is to accessorize with care and choose pieces that complement your outfit and your style. You can use accessories to add some color, texture, or pattern to your outfit, or to create a focal point or a finishing touch.
- Draw Inspiration: Look to fashion bloggers, influencers, and street style for inspiration on how to rock colorful looks with confidence. Social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest are treasure troves of colorful outfit ideas and styling tips. Save images that resonate with you and use them as inspiration when putting together your own outfits.
