Why NOT Repeating Colour Creates a More Interesting Outfit
I don't repeat colours in my outfit, and here's why.
Â
The effect of not repeating a colour in an outfit is dramatic, check out the examples below and see if they bring it home for you too.
Here we go.
The outift below left was when I was using my Light, Dark, Colour and a Print system and was framing my light dress with a dark shoe.
But...
I was repeating the colour in my scarf back down again in my shoe giving you two places to look at, at one time instead of allowing you to take in each item at a time.
Having the whole ensemble on the right below not repeat my boots back to my scarf colour gives your eyes a chance to look around and see me rather than struggling to flip back and forward on the repeating colour (first outfit of pink boots with pink scarf) which actually compacts the whole outfit (and me).
And just because we can never really see something enough, here is one more of me.
My red jumper repeats the red in my boots but check out how awesome the outfit on the right looks with not one single repetition in sight.
How It Works With SHOES
Â
Now that we’ve busted that myth on matching and repeating a colour in our outfit, let’s bust another one:
Myth = Matching your footwear with colours in your outfit, especially the colour of pants so that it elongates your leg!
The problem?
You’d have a longer leg, but then you’d virtually have no feet! This is completely unnatural and takes you out of proportion.
Your feet aren't part of your silhouette, they are the frame that holds everything up.
That’s why in the Boss wardrobe, we use shoes to add more impact and to frame the rest of our outfits and our body!
