Classic and Chic Color Combinations

You walk into your closet and you see some many colors. So many colors jumbled together and you cant figure out what goes with what? Well I’ve got you covered. I have put together several classic color combinations that ALWAYS look chic.

First let’s break down colors:

complimentary colors: what are they? They are any two colors on the color wheel directly across from each other.

So, red and green, blue and orange, purple and yellow. They do just that, they compliment each other when worn together, think of your high school colors and how they looked on a sweater shirt or the football team’s jersey, mine were orange and blue. If you are not a bold color person, then you incorporate neutrals into your wardrobe.

Neutral colors: tan, beige, white, black, and my favorite color grey. Keeping that in mind lets look at some combinations you can try. Most people will wear a neutral then add a little bit of color into their outfit somewhere. Some people opt for all neutral outfits because they instantly read chic, but I have some examples below where color combinations are just as chic.
