This year blue made it to the TOP of trending colors in clothes. Total looks, prints and separate wardrobe items in this color were presented on the catwalk. The most popular is the heavenly tone.
Of course, one shade is not suitable for every woman and every situation, so let’s figure out how to combine it correctly in clothes, and what not to do.
What to combine with blue in clothes
If you already have clothes in this color, determine its shade in order to combine it correctly with others. If you are just planning to buy a trendy item, check out the basic shades of blue to understand which one you need:
- azure – rich, close to blue;
- heavenly - everything is clear from the name;
- Arctic - a light, rich shade, almost electric;
- powdery - also called pastel, muted shade;
- Tiffany – bright, with a pastel undertone;
- with a gray undertone.
On a gray winter day, color lifts the mood, and in summer it complements the brightness of the surrounding colors.Combines with many colors, allowing you to create a delicate and elegant look, or bold and bold - depending on the shade, neighboring colors and the event.
IMPORTANT! When composing a look, adhere to the 3-color rule - there should be no more than 3 colors in the image.
Classic colors - black, white, beige
Looking at the combination of blue with any classic color, the words “gentle”, “feminine” and elegant involuntarily suggest themselves. This effect occurs not only with classic shades, but here it is pronounced.
White. This combination is ideal for a date, business meeting or office work, depending on how you play it. White trousers and a blouse, combined with a blue trench coat, look stylish and at the same time strict. Beige-pink pumps and sunglasses will help complete the look.
For studying, wear a sky shirt, a white skirt and beige shoes. There is also an option for denim lovers - light jeans + a white lace blouse and a bag to match the trousers - feel free to go to school or on a date in this look. For work, light jeans without unnecessary decoration are also suitable - wear them with a white top and jacket and complement them with beige shoes.
Combinations of these colors are suitable for work, study, dating, going to the cinema or to a party. The trouser sets of shorts + jacket with white and blue stripes look impressive. Choose shoes depending on the look; sports shoes and heels look equally good.
For a third color add:
- beige;
- brown camel;
- golden;
- powdery pink.
ADVICE! To get the effect of tenderness and elegance, combine with white discreet shades of blue - heavenly, powdery, tiffany.
Black. With it, the blue becomes richer, the images are more elegant and at the same time stricter.Combine a black turtleneck or a T-shirt with a long vest with jeans. A sky-colored sweater or shirt will go well with a black midi skirt. Complete your looks with silver, black or beige shoes.
2 in 1 look: black pants + black top + classic denim jacket + leopard print bag = 2 trends in 1 look.
Grey. Noble gray begs to be used in business looks, and bright azure will add color and style. Gray outerwear, a blue shirt and jeans or a skirt look beautiful. You can wear gray trousers, a sweater and a coat, but complement the look with a Tiffany-colored bag and gray will sparkle in a new way. Black, white, brown and beige colors will help complement the look.
What cannot be combined with
It is not advisable to place blue color close to the face of red-haired girls. If you want the color of the sky in your outfit, let it be a handbag, belt or shoes.
To avoid looking too colorful, combine colors that are approximately the same in saturation. You cannot combine powder blue with fuchsia or electric blue with sand yellow.
An unsuccessful solution is the predominance of black. There should be either equal numbers or more blue. Otherwise, the abundance of black will negate your attempt to create a bright image.
Other successful combinations
Despite such prohibitions, colors combined with blue do not end with black, white and gray. There are also bright and stylish combinations. For example, the combination with pink is familiar to us from the cradle. Such images turn out feminine and delicate, especially if you add silk or satin texture.
IMPORTANT! The pink in this combination should not be too bright.
The sensational burgundy also goes well with azure. Just pair a burgundy sweater with jeans for a stylish look that will turn heads.A burgundy skirt with a heavenly blouse is also a win-win option. The combination can be complemented with silver, beige and white colors.
ADVICE! Add burgundy + blue with a leopard-print handbag or shoes. In this combination, the leopard print, which is scary for many, will neatly complement the image, without unnecessary subtext.
A summer look can be achieved by adding a little yellow. And by choosing discreet shades of blue and yellow, you can create a business look. When combining with red, make sure that the 2 primary colors have different contrasts - one is dimmer than the other.
You can't help but touch on blue. They complement each other and at the same time play on contrast. And looks with brown turn out super elegant and warm.
