STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Colors And Contrast

April 19th, 2016 at 2:00am

Whoever said you can’t wear black and brown together has just been proven wrong. This Fashionista pairs the two perfectly, while ensuring that one color does not overpower the other. To add a touch of femininity, she adds gold tones both in her makeup and choice of accessories. Read below to find out more on how this Fashionista combines many different styles into one show stopping outfit.

Everyone knows that a classic leather jacket is a must in a woman’s closet. Their versatility transcends many distinct looks, from grunge to military and everything in between. They can be worn as a great layering piece for snow in April (if you’re from Chicago, you feel my pain), or as an edgy touch to a fun floral dress. This Fashionista took a more masculine route with her outfit in her Calvin Klein leather quilted moto jacket. She paired this timeless piece with a rather contemporary style, Timberlands. Like the leather jacket, these boots can be worn with many different styles in one’s wardrobe. While many see Timberland’s as work boots, they can also be dressed up with jeans or trendy leggings, as seen on this Fashionista. The texture on the side adds a touch of femininity to this outfit and has a similar look to that of the leather jacket.

To accessorize, this Fashionista wore a gold bracelet to complement her Fossil watch. I know I have mentioned it in past articles, but watches are a classic accessory. Every man and woman should own at least one, and this Fashionista’s timepiece makes for a great match with her classic leather jacket.

The many different components in this outfit complement one another in that there is equal representation of trends that are old and new. The brown and black work well with one another as this Fashionista evenly distributes both, while adding a touch of gold to finish off the look.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Know your colors, and work with the contrast. I love golds, so my makeup and jewelry are gold. I really like the contrast and balance between the brown and black in my outfit, as well.”
