Because a monochrome look is always a bit dull, you are given all possible advice to never seem like a Harlequin!

Dare to color! What colors do you associate and what are the pitfalls? Here are our tips for wearing fashionable clothes and colors, mix them according to your complexion with originality.

In fashion as in art, there are two ways to combine colors. The base is the color wheel, but not only, to avoid the fashion faux pas, one must consider two equally important parameters: the shades and contrast.

- The color wheel is the gradient of colors. Primary colors: blue, magenta, yellow. Secondary colors: green, orange and purple as a result of mixing three primary colors. Tertiary colors: purple, scarlet, indigo, turquoise, chartreuse green, gold.
- The color contrast is up to combine two opposite colors on the color wheel. Associate them: it's risky!
- The cameo is a very close association of colors like beige and ecru for example.

Colours: basic rules

The color is not an easy task, color is wrong and your whole outfit that has to be redone. A few golden rules to be observed for a set with no false notes:
-Balance the silhouette through the colors. It is generally a dominant color that accompany and illuminate the other.
- Avoid wearing more than three different colors to avoid an effect clown and "draft". Kill too many colors color!
- The addition of a complementary color can temper color.
- Black and white are considered colors. They are not very present in nature in its purest form. It is easy to associate them with any color.
- The gray, very neutral, also agrees with many colors. Cool, very in this winter so here we go!
