Styling Must Have- Color Wheel

🔴🟡🔵 HOW TO USE A COLOR WHEEL FOR STYLING

 

1️⃣ Complementary Colors (High Contrast, Bold Impact)

Opposite each other on the color wheel

Examples:

• Red + Green

• Blue + Orange

• Purple + Yellow

Style Tip:
Use one color as the statement and the other as the accent — especially with handbags.

✔ Best for:

• Statement bags

• Monochrome outfits with a pop

• “Main Character Energy” looks

2️⃣ Analogous Colors (Polished & Cohesive)

Next to each other on the color wheel

Examples:

• Beige + Brown + Olive

• Navy + Blue + Teal

Style Tip:
Perfect for elevated everyday looks. This is how neutral outfits still feel intentional, not mismatched.

✔ Best for:

• Workwear

• Minimalists

• Luxe, understated outfits

3️⃣ Monochromatic Styling (Luxury Classic)

One color, in multiple shades

Examples:

• All black (matte + leather + gloss)

• Cream → camel → tan

Style Tip:
Texture matters more than color here. Mix materials to avoid flat looks.

✔ Best for:

• Structured handbags

• Editorial styling

• Timeless outfits

4️⃣ Triadic Colors (Creative, Editorial)

Three evenly spaced colors on the wheel

Examples:

• Red + Blue + Yellow

• Green + Purple + Orange

Style Tip:
Anchor the look with neutrals and let accessories do the talking.

✔ Best for:

• Fashion-forward dressers

• Creative styling moments

• Limited drops

5️⃣ Neutral Anchoring (The Cheat Code)

Neutrals include:

• Black

• White

• Beige

• Gray

• Brown

Style Tip:
If your outfit feels “too much,” anchor it with a neutral handbag or shoe. That’s the cheat code. 

✔ Best for:

• Bold prints

• Color-heavy outfits

• Everyday balance
