10 Fail-proof and unexpectedly chic colour combos

Nur Syazana H. https://www.mariefranceasia.com/author/nursyazana 30 Oct 2015 mis à jour le 31 October 2015 à 12:24

    Black and white
    The most obvious, fool proof and go-to choice would be black and white. The easy combo is a staple among the local minimalist lovers. A great tip is to experiment with different fabrics to create an unexpectedly chic outfit, like the leather vest and cotton inner shirt combo seen here.

    Burgundy and mustard
    Deep maroon and burnt yellow are a  match made in colour heaven. Their parent colours are adjacent to each other on the colour wheel, so it's no wonder they look so good together. Layer the shades with black, brown or muted pink for a more stylish impact.

    Blue and green
    Another two colours adjacent to each other on the colour wheel are blue and green. The cool colours create a very boyish vibe when worn together, but can be sweetened up with beige, yellow or deep red for better dimension.

    Red and black
    This seemingly gothic pairing is a style favourite. Bold and impactful, red and black look great together when in rich fabrics like wool, satin and crepe.

    Pale blue and navy
    Layering different shades of the same colour make for a delectable monochrome palette. Blus is one such colour, which looks especially good when pairing pastel blue with a deep navy.

    Pink and grey
    The unlikely combo of pink and grey is a lot sweeter than you think. Easy on the eyes and great as a base for bolder neutrals like black and white, it can be a great way to fuse summer and fall in one outfit.

    Plum and brown
    Pair a deep reddish-purple shade with all shades of brown for an outfit that's reminiscent of rich Victorian interiors. Black and gold can also act as accents, in the form of shoes, jewellery and bags.

    Pale blue and beige
    Get summer-ready with a pairing of pale blue and beige. The flattering shades look great on every skin tone, and are great against white stripes or shoes.

    Orange and navy/pale blue
    Punchy orange may seem like a difficult colour to pull off, but with blue it instantly becomes easy. Take your pick on which colour to wear on your top and bottom, or opt for a dress that has both colours printed on the same piece.

    Yellow, black and white
    Yellow, black and white make a palette that's statement making but incredibly foolproof at the same time. If you're planning to be bold for a day, gather up all your clothes in these colours and you'll have heads turning your way.

Because there's more to your outfit than just black and white.

Dressing up in the mornings can make one increasingly lazy and reach for the easiest of items, compromising your fashionable capabilities. If you're starting to feel tired of your all-black outfits or predictable combos of the same old pieces in your closet, perhaps you just need a little bit of an inspiration boost to get your style juices flowing.

We came up with 10 outfit colour combinations, from the totally classic to totally unexpected, that coincidentally keep popping up among the street style set. Black and white is a given, but other pairings such as plum and mustard, pale blue and beige, and pink and grey are among the least-discovered looks you probably have yet to sport.

Dig deep in your closets and uncover the colourful pieces you haven't worn in a while, and you can start to take notes on which to pair with what, with a little help from the stylish lot above.
