Styling with color is a fun and creative process. I think most people default to typical and quiet combinations. Clearly some colors compliment eachother and others do not – but I dare you to push the envelope and create a bit of surprise with your outfits.
The JCrew outfit here, styled for a casual party or even a meal out, combines a dressier, stiffer, lace fabric in the trouser with a super cozy, soft turtleneck sweater. A more common decision would be to dress up the red lace pant. By combining a stiff fabric with a soft sweater in a warm color, like camel, relaxes the outfit and makes it feel more casual. It also makes the pant more versatile. By pairing with an unexpected combination of accessories like a tartan scarf and leopard print shoes and gloves makes the outfit more interesting.
Try styling with color by pairing combos you would not normally put together and combine a dressier piece with a casual piece – it will open up a whole new wardrobe world!!
