1) The rule of 3
This is THE golden rule to respect for your outfits, whatever the circumstances: don't accumulate more than 3 colours for your outfit. Indeed, you risk to make "clown" by displaying too much information and destroy the harmony of your silhouette. Please note that on these 3 colors, you must associate 2 simple/neutral colors and one dominant/strong color.

In order to wear colourful outfits without making fashion faux pas, associate pieces with complementary colours. To do so, consult the colour circle on the web, organized with the 3 primary colours (blue, yellow, red) as well as their derivatives: the secondary and tertiary colours. In order to correctly associate the shades, take two colours that face each other, such as cyan and orange. Finally, dress the part of your body that you want to highlight with the lightest colour and opt for the darker colour for the part you want to hide.6) The monochrome
In order to refine your silhouette, choose outfits that mix similar shades such as: beige + taupe + ecru white. The objective here is to obtain a pretty, delicate and coherent gradient to lengthen your look.
