Just delicious outfits and combos! The pink panther with olive green and charcoal is genius 🫒

Posts like these make me want to play with more color in my wardrobe.

ohh these are all so good, but the tangerine + teal + white combo really took my breath away!

Viv Chen's avatar

i never see that combo in street style, but it's so high contrast and just *hits*!

All the combos are great but my favourite might be the pink+green+charcoal, I think the charcoal takes it down from "country club". I don't wear a lot of colour but I really like a bright, warmish red + dark green...I think my go-to formula is a dark "autumnal colour + primary colour.

ooo. yes, there's so many ways to combined reds and greens without it looking christmas. love that idea.

I personally favour bright orange with a bright blue, it's a combination that gets airtime from my wardrobe every year since 2015

I like a pale pink with a crimson too

Viv Chen's avatar

oh i LOVE a pale pink and crimson, it's so soft and lovely and makes me feel warm

I am obsessed with the Dictionary of Color Combinations! It really helped broaden my sense of what colors go together and makes it so fun to get dressed. After this Christmas I think I’ll have gifted it to everyone I know

Also I so much appreciate these ode-to-color posts cuz I’m so with you the chromaphobia is so real and showing people how amazing color is helps loosen its hold 💕

Cardigan worn as a bonnet is delightful and genius!

this is one of my favorites you’ve written. i REALLY struggle with coming up with good color combos. it doesn’t come naturally to me, i have to think hard about it. i’m good at picking individual pieces but bad at creating whole outfits because i suck at color combos so much! thank you for this! i love the tip that if you’re doing pink and green, make one muted and one bright, rather than both bright.

im so happy this was a favorite for you! color combos don't always come easy, especially since social media tends to shove beigescapes down our throats
