Today’s lesson is about putting together outfits with a top that has more than two colors in the pattern.
In outfit one, I combined the top with a solid black pant, but spaced out the addition of a pattern in the shoe. Because this outfit had those two patterns already going on, I chose a solid neutral bag.
In outfit two, I paired the top with a similar colored pattern. Keep in mind that a tight and small pattern like this is really considered a solid. The eye doesn’t really “see” the pattern but it sure creates visual interest! I added in even more eye candy with two-toned shoes and a bag that while neutral, has a subtle pattern.
In outfit three, I picked up a color in the top and found a skirt to match it. Then I added in texture with the accessories instead of more pattern or solids.
I know this seems like a ton of information to take in when you are staring at the clothes in your closet. But keep these tips in mind when wondering how to put outfits together!
