Dear ladies, have you ever found yourself wondering how to smoothly transition between your summer and autumn wardrobe? It’s a common problem we all face. Here’s a quick five-minute guide to how to change up your autumn wear and stay stylish throughout this season.
The rules for colour matching
Knowing how to match the colours is crucially important for the overall style.
Principle 1
Contrast colour principle: choose colours with strong contrast, which will enhance the lively clean bright look. Eg. black&white, yellow&purple.
Strong contrast between blue and orange, very eyecatching
Principle 2
Similar colour principle: if you want to add an exquisite touch to your attire, match with similar colour or gradient colours. Eg. pure red & burgundy red, yellow & orange.
Similar colours create a harmonious look, suitable for both social & business occasions
Principle 3
Tricolor principle: less is more, please keep no more than 3 colours and with distinctive gradation for one match. The dominant colour counts around 60%, the complementary colour around 40% , while the third colour(ornament colour) is around 5%-15%.
The dominant colour is orange, complementary colour is white, while her black bag and glasses is the third colour
