Color Code: How to Mix & Match by Anna James

Color Code: How to Mix & Match
Let’s face it, color and summer go together like the ocean and sand, but when it comes to mixing and matching your favorite brights, the task can sometimes seem a bit daunting. In high school my closet was made up of 90% black and grey pieces, mainly because I was terrified to stand out. Not only was I scared to wear color, I didn't know how to mix it either. It wasn't until college that I learned the basic rules of color mixing and I gained the confidence to stray from my go-to shades of grey.

This summer no hue is off limits and I think its super important that we all make mental notes of the basic color rules to prevent overdosing on a crazy color concoction. Some of my favorite things about having been a fashion major were getting to play with different textures and shades. In my aesthetics and textile classes I learned fashion rules that I still refer to everyday!

In school, I always had a color wheel tucked into my notebook to help on various projects. Nowadays, I've got the wheel completely memorized, which is extremely helpful, especially when I'm at the mall trying to quickly pull together an outfit for an upcoming event. Whether you have a go-to color combination, enjoy the classics, or you’re crushing on trendy palettes like neons or pastels, simple color rules can easily help you style and accessorize an editorial-worthy look in mere seconds.

Color Code: How to Mix & Match


Below are the three basic color schemes:

Analogous Color Scheme

Color Code: How to Mix & Match

These are the colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. The analogous color scheme is the most pleasing to the eye and will always give your ensemble a harmonious look. When styling these colors it’s important to allow them to play against each other using one as the dominant color and the other as fashionable accents.

Complementary Color Scheme

These are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. When combining these vibrant, high-contrast colors it’s easy to create an eye-catching color blocked ensemble.

Monochromatic Color Scheme

Color Code: How to Mix & Match

A monochromatic color scheme consists of different shades and tints of one single color. To avoid overloading on this tonal palette, use white or black to break up your ensemble to help you achieve a chic and crisp appearance.

Fash Tip: Try placing a color wheel in your closet so you can refer to it when putting together your outfits. This will help to inspire creative color combinations that you may not have previously thought of! Good luck, girls. Bring on the color!

Which of these color schemes is your favorite? Are you ready to embrace summer brights?

How To Wear: Summer Neutrals


How To Wear: Summer Neutrals


Skirt: Bar III Blouse: Sugarlips (Similar here & here)  
Earrings: Pop of Chic Sandals: LC Lauren Conrad Clutch: Old Navy (Old) Sunnies: Bleu Dame


Neutrals are an integral part of every girls wardrobe due
 in part to the fact that they can mix and match with almost every item
 in your closet including each other. 
Colors are fun and indeed an essential, but without a few key neutral pieces, 
you'll continually find yourself surrounded by bright colors that lack basic styling links, 
which will leave your wondering why you have nothing to wear. 
By properly stocking your wardrobe with a few neutral pieces your styling options
 will instantly double. If you’re a color fiend you can think of these pieces 
as the perfect canvas for showing off one of your prized bright colored pieces 
such as a neon pink scarf or a mint green clutch. When styling your 
neutral ensembles I always suggest adding some contrast 
and dimension by incorporating tonal textures like eyelet shorts or a crochet vest
Khaki, cream, white, blush, brown, black, and grey are a few of the most popular neutrals.

With summer in full effect,
 I suggest sticking to the bright whites and sandy tones to keep
 your look fresh and summer appropriate. 
For those of you who have your heart set on color and only color for the next few months, 
try picking up a few neutral accessories to keep your looks from being too loud. 
These LC Lauren Conrad Platform Sandals from Kohl’s that she is wearing above 
can perfectly mix and match with your summer wardrobe 
no matter what palette you prefer.

Fash Crush - White Skinnies


Fash Crush - White Skinnies

With summer in full effect, one piece of clothing 
that has quickly risen to the top of my go-to list are 
white skinnies. 
Not only do they offer the ultimate pop next to your 
bronzed summer skin, 
but the blank canvas leaves the door wide open
 for endless styling opportunities, 
whether you decide to wear neutrals or your best brights. 

Below are some of my favorite celebrities rocking their bright
 whites all over Hollywood. 
When you're stuffing your suitcase for your next mini-vaca 
don't forget to pack your white skinnies! 
Who's look are you crushing on the most?
