Whether you are packing for a travel or preparing for an upcoming interview, knowing how to mix and match clothing pieces can definitely lessen the amount of time consumed from choosing the best pieces. Having knowledge in mixing and matching is very essential in order to look instantly appealing without sacrificing fashion. The following rules in mixing and matching clothes are also essential when you only have very limited number of clothes in your closet.
- Always pair a lighter colored fabric with a darker colored piece of clothing. Never take a fashion risk like the Olsen sisters who are sometimes criticized for their matronly pieces or carpet-inspired looks. If you opt for a white top, pair it with dark-hued pants or skirts like red, black, or denims or vice versa. This will definitely complement with each other, adding more oomph to your appeal. On the other hand, if you wear a dress, make sure that your footwear and accessories blend well with your dress, too. Yes, the essence of mixing and matching clothing pieces is not only achieved through the fabric you wear, but also through the accessories you add to your look.
- Include neutral pieces in your travel bag. Earthly tones like tan, black, white, brown, gold, and the likes are easier to match with compared to bold colors like olive green, neon yellow, red, orange, and many others. Trust me; you will not face any fashion woes during your travel if you have more neutral-toned pieces in your bag. Insert jeans and denims as these are basic pieces and very easy to carry as well.
- Mixing and matching clothes to look stylish is not just a matter of choosing the right hues. It is also a matter of choosing the right style of clothes. A loose top is best paired with fitted pants and a body hugging top can be complemented well with pants or skirts that are not too clingy.
- To have a neatly-arranged closet, pile your clothes according to its color. Neatly arrange all of them either in one or in one pile as this can help you get them out of the cabinet easily. Aside from that, a well-arranged closet minimizes frustrations when packing up or when choosing a fashionable pair.
One of the ways to minimize headaches in choosing the right pieces is to buy clothes that are mostly neutral in colors. Neutral colored clothing look better in every skin color and are easier to match with as well. So, if you think that neon green in the mannequin look best, try your hands on that mustard top from Gucci.
