This Is How You Can Seamlessly Pair Your Solids
By vane-style - July 09, 2019
Prints and
florals…yes, we can’t get enough of them too, but solid colours are priceless! Outfits
are referred to as solids when the whole garment(s) is of a single colour or a
mix of variations. This style format is eccentric as it is essential to
creating ensembles that are well thought out. With pairing solids, you don’t have to go out
on a spending spree to achieving the look as you can use classic pieces from
your wardrobe. Here are the basic ways you can style them!
Monotone Colour Block
These are separates
of one colour. To really own ensembles in this category, pick a colour and wear
every piece of your outfit in different tones of the same colour. If you are a
sucker for layering, here’s where you shine. You can also colour co-ordinate
the tones in tops and bottoms, not just dresses alone. Don’t worry so much
because they can be formal-friendly and playful as well.
Monochrome Pairings
These are
outfits with an overall tonal look and the method of achieving them is really easy.
All you have to do is wear different parts
of your outfits in a uniformed colour. The ensembles in this category always
give a clean look and makes a beautiful canvas for accessories. For beginners, it is best to try out basic colours first.
Analogous Colours
So remember
the colour wheel from elementary art class? Well, you are about to need them
again. The colours on the wheel are basically all the shades of the rainbow
lined up in a wheel. They usually come in schemes and the pairing different
hues would really make your pairing stand out and allow for fluidity. Colours
like blue and purple really work well.
Complementary Colours
These are hues that are opposite each other on the colour wheel. Examples are
red and green, blue and red, purple and yellow. There isn’t any trick in wearing
complementary colours, so long as you are familiar with the chart and you have
garments in the three primary colours (blue, red and yellow) and also neutrals such
as white, black. Be daring and pair a blue top with a red skirt and seal your
look with faded metallic accessories. If you weren’t in the know, metallics also
fall under neutrals. So instead of wearing only traditional neutrals and
pastels, match your pop of colour with gold or silver bottoms.
Now we’ve got you covered on solids, it should
be a lot easier getting dressed statement-making tones!
