Fashion Best Colour Combos - You Can't Go Wrong With These!
Discover our favourite colour combinations to enhance any outfit and make a statement.

Finding the perfect colour combinations in fashion can be a challenge. The internal struggle is real and can sometimes feel like there is an endless list of rules you must follow.

"Do these colours look good together? Wait what was that rule about wearing white?"

It's never fun to always be thinking about which colour combinations look like best and which should be avoided, and with all the different fashion experts making new rules and combinations it's hard to keep up.

That is why we're giving you the down-low on everything colour-related and show you show you can use colour combinations to your advantage to create looks that kill. 

Combinations with Pink

Nothing says warmth and happiness like pink. Soft pink is subtle yet classy and offers an eye-catching pop of colour to any look. The best thing about pink is that it comes in a wide range of hues from baby pink to electric pink and everywhere in between. These colours are all very different but style great with the same colour palette.

Our favourite pink colour combination are:

  • Pink and gray
  • Pink and white
  • Pink and blue

Style blue jeans with a pink top for a put-together look, or swap out the jeans for gray palazzo pants and add a fuchsia cardigan for a day at the office.

Baby pink goes well with so many hues but our favourites will always be white and grey.

Combination of Red and Blue

Sometimes it's the unlikely colour combinations that work together the best - and this happens to be the case with a red and blue combination. This is an unexpected combination with two vibrant colour hues that make each other pop. Be playful with your pairing of these two colours, it really is a statement combination that you can have a lot of fun with. 

We recommend going for: 

  • Red and Navy Blue.
  • Red and Blue with camel or beige accents.

To avoid looking like a sailor, we suggest going for tailored pieces such as straight or cigarette trousers and a fitted shirt.

If you're looking for a classic combination then a red and blue pairing for will make for a timeless and confident look

Combination of Blue and Orange

Blue and orange together to create stunning and unique looks, who would have thought! Blue and orange are both relaxing hues that work together like a dream. They accent each other perfectly and both can be worn as a top or a bottom color depending on how you style it. 

Our best bet would be: 

  • Blue and orange color blocking.

Sometimes we get stuck in our usual ways of always wearing dark-colored pants or blue jeans but with this colour combination you are able to easily end this routine. Style a blue jean jacket and a burnt orange colour midi skirt together for a fall-inspired look that looks effortlessly chic.

For a standout look, we suggest blending electric blues with vivid orange accents, so fashion forward!

Combinations with Burgundy

Burgundy is a dark shade that is easily ignored by most people who are more likely to opt for a forest green, navy blue or black. As a result, burgundy doesn't get the love it deserves and sometimes people have a difficult time combining it with other colours. However it can go with almost anything, which is one of the reasons we love it so much.

Our favourites for this season:

  • Burgundy and Black.
  • Burgundy and Grey.

Styling burgundy with a subtle colour like grey - think like marengo grey wide-legged pants -  is great for making the main colour pop. It is such a dark, rich hue that styling it with any lighter colour really makes it look so much more vibrant. While styling it with black is the perfect alternative to escaping the safety net of always wearing black on black.

Burgundy and marengo grey: a bold, luxurious mix perfect for fall and winter.

Combinations with Peach

Peach is a colour that is not produced as much as yellows and oranges so when it comes to styling it might be a bit harder since there is less inspiration out there for combinations. Despite the initial troubles styling it, peach is such a beautiful colour that makes the person wearing it look more radiant and alive. If you are looking for a new and trendy colour to add to your wardrobe consider choosing peach.

We recommend:

  • Peach and Caqui Green.
  • Peach and Blue.

Much like orange and blue, peach and blue is a great color combination since they are almost opposites on the colour wheel, and you know what they say: you can't go wrong mixing two colors that are opposites on the wheel. Another great option is light green or army green for example worn as a bomber jacket

Peach is already a colour that will stand out on its own so make sure to tone it down with neutrals.

Combinations with Lavender

Lavender is one of those colours you don't realize you love until you see it on someone else. It has almost a fairytale-like feel to it, and since it's not often worn, you will get plenty of compliments when you do! Don't shy away from this stunning colour, welcome it and all its styling possibilities. 

Best violet colour combinations:

  • Lavender and Beige.
  • Lavender and Pastel Yellow.
  • Lavender and Baby Blue.

Although it's common to see lavender paired with neutrals, we suggest going for other pastels, especially when spring is around the corner. You can never go wrong with a lavender sweater and white jeans.

Mix lavender and with other pastels to create a dreamy, feminine color palette.

Now that you know how to combine different colours in unique ways it is time to branch out and add some new colours to your wardrobe. 

Use this guide for colour combinations as a guide to help you find some new looks and add some personality to your style this year.
