What goes with blue in clothes?
What does the blue color mean, how to understand that it really is in front of you? How to competently use all its power, unleash its potential and build your image as harmoniously as possible on its basis?
Light blue is one that is endowed with a faint blue accent. It does not apply to either base or intermediate colors, that is, it cannot be obtained by mechanical mixing of colors. Its palette includes many shades of very different saturation and brightness. Despite the fact that we are accustomed to consider turquoise, cornflower blue, heavenly independent colors, they are all shades of blue.
Blue color belongs to the cold color range, therefore, first of all, this is the choice of two cold color types: winter and summer. For winter, it is more correct to choose a bright and saturated option, and for summer - muted and dusty.
Combination with other colors
Artists and designers always use the rules of color combination based on their location on the color wheel, in which colors and shades are distributed into subgroups. The most popular combinations are monochrome (a set within the same color, but in different saturation and brightness), similar (2-3 colors in any direction of the circle from the given one) and complementary (contrasting). If you remember these three principles, then it is unlikely that you will ever make a mistake in choosing the colors of your wardrobe.
First, let's look at the color wheel and determine which color is contrasting for blue, which is similar, and so on.
A contrasting color combination is when two shades are at opposite ends of the color wheel. Depending on the shades of blue, it can be red-orange, yellow-orange and orange.
Who suits a contrasting wardrobe? Of course, the bearers of a contrasting appearance. Regardless of the hue and saturation of blue, it is better for non-contrasting ladies to avoid its combination with orange. Bright women should remember that if you take blue as the base color of the bow, then orange should be no more than 10% of the set, that is, it should be just a stylish accent.
Process colors for cyan are those that lie equidistant from each other on the color wheel. For example, for blue-green shades (turquoise, aquamarine, electric), the triad will be red-violet and orange.
A similar combination is suitable for representatives of any appearance: for blondes with blue eyes and bright brunettes with fair skin. For blue, the combination with green and yellow-green, as well as with blue and blue-violet, will be optimal. This combination will allow you to choose an image for any event and look always on top.
How to use in clothes
When you choose blue to combine with other colors, it is worth remembering that it is easiest to combine soft, muted shades. The best win-win combination will be a combination of light blue and dark blue. It will suit absolutely any woman and will be appropriate at any time of the day. The office version is a set of two colors, the day off is the addition of a third bright color as an accent.
If you are the owner of a summer color type, then it is better to raise the dusty blue closer to the face, and lower the rich blue down. For example, a dirty blue sweater or blouse and ink pants or a skirt. "Winter" should act on the basis of its strong colors, that is, on the contrary - saturated closer to the face, muted further away from it.
What is always combined with blue in clothes is with pastel shades. If you use pastel colors, then you can combine them with each other in any ratio, they will always look fresh and harmonious.
No less popular are the combinations of blue and white, blue and gray, as well as blue and pink. The combination with white or pink gives lightness, airiness and playfulness to the outfit. This is a great choice for those who want to emphasize their femininity. Playing on the style of clothing, you can achieve both the effect of "marshmallow" (skirts with frills, flying dresses made of light fabrics), and spring elegance (classic cut, suit fabrics).
If you want to combine red and blue in one outfit, then give preference to neither scarlet, but darker shades: burgundy, raspberry. Since such an outfit will attract attention, then it is worth putting it on for evening events.
If you want to look spectacular during the day, then combine light blue with lilac, lilac accessories. A more restrained image is when brown or beige is the third color. Only here, too, do not forget the rule of 70% - 20% - 10%, where 70 is pale blue, 20 is brown, and 10 is accenting lilac or lilac.
For the office, a set of blue, gray and white is suitable. In order for rigor to appear in this image, it is necessary to choose the right gray value.Do not take the pale “pajama”, but focus on something more “bright”: the color of wet asphalt or shiny steel.
Color in a woman's wardrobe
A blue dress is the basis of the image; you can complement it with accessories that match the style. For example, a summer flying dress will look good with white, nude, pink, sandals, ballet flats, shoes. If you match them with a bag of the same or similar color, then the image will be completed.
If you want to create an evening summer look, then choose something shiny as accessories. Perhaps it will be shoes and a bag in metallic gray with a reptile texture.
Sun-cut midi skirts in different shades of blue are perfectly combined with sweatshirts or pullovers in pale yellow, pale pink or white.
If you have a blue pencil skirt hanging, then you can walk it paired with a white shirt and a navy blue jacket, diluting the ensemble with nude pumps.
Miniskirt + bomber jacket = youthful image of a sports bias.
There is always a pair of blue trousers. For classics with arrows, it will be a light “male” shirt or a light pink blouse, depending on what effect you want to make on others. For trousers-pipes, a top, a T-shirt, and sneakers will be a pair.
