Few step on how you can combine your, clothing colors

1. Do not combine more than three colors in your clothing. Black and white does not count because they are neutral. 

2. White goes perfectly with all colours and when combined with black, we can get one of the best possible combinations to sport a sophisticated, elegant and sensual look. Combine your white clothes with the colors you like best, but avoid wearing tones that are too light

3. Use Neutrals colors.  They’re classic shades .White, black, beige, and brown can be your best friend in pulling together or balancing an outfit.

4. Do not make the assortment of too many bright colors. It would be too much for the eyes. And if you are itching to put in some ultra-bright color in your wardrobe, you need to go as low as possible. For instance, a fluorescent yellow tee is a no-no but florescent yellow shoes are okay.

5. Black is the go-to color for almost anyone. Red, blue, and yellow are known as the primary colors. All other colors come from a combination of these three hues. Yellow looks good with black, however as it has the tendency to look bright, it is always better to go for lighter shades of yellow when pairing with black. Yellow can also be paired with light green and light orange shades.

6. Use a color wheel to find complimentary colors.

When you're talking about colors, "complimentary" actually means "opposite." Black and white, for instance, are complimentary colors. That's why they look so great together. You know, "opposites attract." 

 

7. Keep your fabric in the same color family. It's pretty straightforward: pastels with pastels, earth tones with earth tones, jewel tones with jewel tones, etc.

 

8. Practice! You need to play with colors to find out from personal experience that you might not want to wear that bright yellow scarf with your bright blue shirt. Instead of bright yellow you might tone it down to a more buttery shade or darken it to goldenrod.

9. Use neutral colors in your outfits. This is one of the most important pieces of advice for creating well coordinated outfits. The neutral colors will enhance your chosen colors and will make them look better coordinated and not overdone.

10. Use the value scale of color. This basically means that each color has a variety of values, making it darker (shades) or lighter (tints) or more subdued (tones). When you're pairing things you usually want to to try to pair different values of your chosen colors.
