How To Match Colours, Part 1: Blue is Best
Matching together outfits can be one of the hardest things to do for fashion beginners. Often times the task can seem overwhelming. You may know that certain items are some of your best, but you don't know if they go together. Once you begin to involve the seasons, it can become even more difficult. Due to these problems, I will be writing a series on how to match colours appropriately. For this first one, I will be focusing on the importance of blue in a wardrobe.
You may be asking yourself, "Why blue?" Well that answer itself is rather long-winded, so to keep things short, blue complements most colours you wear. In fact, blue is one of the few colours that you can wear entirely and still look good. This is partly because there are many shades of blue, all of which are rather appealing (except the Crayola acrylic paint "BLUE"). To make it simple to understand, think of your favourite pair of jeans. You can wear them with most anything and still look good. That is basically what is happening in this situation.
Now it's time to get a bit more technical about your blues. If you are unsure about how to get started, aim for navy. It is a colour that I have never seen fail on a man, and almost always ups their style game. Do not be afraid of light blues, however. Summer and spring make light blues pop and come out stronger then a navy would. On top of this, don't be afraid of matching blues with different colours. Blue complements most colours you will find, meaning that you can wear them with just about everything. Matching does not mean you should wear the same colour all over, it means you make clothes complement each other through their colours.
