By practising the art of wearable separates, you get the chance to utilize your wardrobe to its maximum. Below are a few tips that can serve as a guide to help you mix and match your outfit like a pro.
  1. Know your basic color schemes
Without knowing your basic color schemes and combinations, it will be very difficult to mix and match your outfit appropriately since it involves playing with colors. Knowing your basic color schemes as to which colors contrast with what helps go a long way in choosing your outfits.
  1. Get a theme and build your look around it
As to everything there is a foundation, we just don’t start. That being said, your foundation when it comes to mixing and matching is ‘Getting a Color Theme’ as your whole look will be built around that. For instance, choosing a pair of grey tailored trousers for an outfit becomes the main theme for the outlook and therefore one needs to find other colors that will match and contrast perfectly with the grey tailored trousers. With that in mind, a pale pink buttoned down shirt and burgundy blazer will match perfectly well and also give a pleasing visual effect.
  1. Do not mix and match patterns of the same kind
Safe bets are always good but taking a little risk hurts nobody if you are only doing it right. Mixing the same patterns or design can be so visually confusing; but if you want to do it, just do it right and make it worth everyone's moment. Let there be some relativity; don’t mix a big polka dot shirt with a big polka dot neck tie, it isn't visually appealing but rather a big polka dot shirt with small polka dots necktie or vice versa.
  1. Be creative and practise
It's time to get creative with your wardrobe. Practice they say makes perfect so just believe your instincts and mix some articles of clothing. Let your creative juices flow!
