How To Match Your Hair With What You're Wearing: Expert Tips

When it comes to putting together a great outfit, most people focus on clothes, shoes and accessories. But there’s one important detail that often gets overlooked - your hair.

The first step is to consider the overall vibe of your clothing. Hair expert Dastagir Sayed explains, “When wearing a blazer or pantsuit, go for a clean hairstyle like a sleek ponytail/ bun or a neat middle part. When wearing a soft, flowy dress, choose relaxed curls, braids, or a messy bun. Let your hair reflect the mood of your clothes.” The trick is to make sure your hair matches the overall vibe of your outfit, so it doesn’t feel too formal or too casual in comparison.

2. Pay Attention To Colour Coordination

While your hair colour doesn’t need to match your clothes exactly, it’s good to consider how certain tones work together. Hair expert Dastagir Sayed shared, “Earthy tones like brown, olive, or rust go really well with warm hair colours like golden or honey highlights. If your outfit is all one colour, like all-black or all-white, you can play around more with your hairstyle. A shiny top knot or a statement hair clip can really stand out.” 

Meanwhile, if you’ve got a bold hair colour like vibrant red or pastel shades – pairing it with simple, solid-colour outfits can help balance the look.

Your hairstyle should complement the shape of your outfit, especially the neckline, as it helps create a balanced and polished look. Wearing something with a high neck or lots of detailing? An updo can keep your hair off your shoulders and show off the design. On the other hand, strapless or off-shoulder tops look stunning with flowing waves or long, straight hair.

If you’re planning to wear big earrings or a statement necklace, consider pulling your hair back or choosing a side part to let your accessories shine.

Above all, balance and comfort matters. If you're heading out for a long day or an outdoor event, pick a hairstyle that will hold up well. Dastagir Sayed suggests, “If your outfit is bold, go with sequins, leather, or bright colours. Your hair should have a bit of drama too. Try bouncy curls, a high ponytail, or a slicked-back look. It’s all about matching the energy.” Use clips, bands, or sprays if needed, and always factor in weather and activity levels.

Matching your hair with your outfit is all about keeping things balanced. With a little planning, you can easily pull your whole look together and feel more confident.
