The monochrome look can be pretty dull, so dare to bare a bit of colour! Which colours mix well and which ones clash? Here's our advice on how to wear colours and match them to your colouring and complexion, in your own original way.
Basic rules
-Balance out your figure with colour. As a rule, take one dominant colour and mix it with others that combine with and enhance your ruling colour.
- Don't wear three completely different colours if you don't want to look disorganised or like a clown...
- BUT you can add one colour to tone another down.
- Black and white are not thought of as colours and are rarely found naturally in their pure state, which means they go with any colour.
- Neutral grey also goes with many colours.
- Always go for darker colours on your bottom half; light colours tend to make you look bigger.
- Bright, light and even loud colours go better on your top half; they brighten up your outfit and your face.
-Don't forget your colourful shoes and accessories!!
