How to match light colors flawlessly

Choosing the right combination of colors to wear may seem easy, but it's actually more complicated than it appears, because we have to pay attention not only to the choice of colors but also to how well the different shades sit together.

Light base colors like white, beige, sand and camel tend to be simpler to match. You can decide to combine a light base color with another light base color, with a dark base color (black, blue), or with a bright color (red, orange).

Choose a color that suits you

The first step to a perfect color match is to understand which color suits you, which one looks good on you and which one doesn't, based on your complexion and hair color too. If you have a dark complexion, perhaps you should opt for light, warm colors that bring out the light in your face; if you have a fair complexion, it's better to opt for bright colors and pastel tones.

Colors that look good with everything

There are some colors that really do look good with everything, and they're the ideal base to start from when choosing the rest. Along with classic white, beige, in its various shades and tones, is a color that lets you put together a great many different combinations.

To get the perfect color combination and avoid a ridiculous effect, it's best never to combine more than two or three colors.

Beige

Being a fairly easy color to handle, it can be combined with white and black, but also with brown, with violet and dark green, with pink or with light blue.

With black or white it makes a classic combination, but always a very elegant and refined one. A timeless pairing, perfect for any occasion! Beige and brown, albeit in different gradations, belong to the same group of colors, so they look great together. Just take a look at the elegance of this two-tone scarf for proof!

Beige and pink together create a dreamy, romantic atmosphere, while violet conveys decisiveness and determination.

Sand

In the beige family we also find a more neutral shade such as sand. A color with a strong character, it gives a very feminine and sophisticated touch and will make your outfit genuinely elegant.

Mink

Mink is a versatile shade that's easy to match. Warm and elegant, it's perfect for both a day and an evening look, especially in winter, and it suits fair and dark complexions alike.

A mink-colored cardigan or turtleneck should always find a place in your closet!

Camel

Camel is a very warm and chic color, perfect for making your outfit look elegant even during the winter season. What's more, it's a very versatile color that looks good on just about every complexion and hair color.

Clearly, to avoid a dull, washed-out effect, you have to match it correctly with the other colors. Stronger, brighter shades often make this color stand out best.

One great camel-colored classic that everyone should have in their closet is certainly the coat.
