We all get bored of our look sometimes and think that we have a boring wardrobe as well. But what if we can amp up our style statement using the same outfits but differently? Here are some cool tips to help you in experimenting with your outfits and using a mix and match strategy the right way.

Balancing The Solids

You can never go wrong with solids even if you are just beginner to the fashion world. This is in fact the safest option. All you have to do is choose a print and pair it up with a solid neutral colour, or match with a contrast. If you are very new to this the play with the neutral shades at the moment like black, beige, blue and grey. If you are daring and love experimenting then go for contrasting and brighter tones. Like you could opt for the same colour top and pants but wear it with a bright shrug or coat. 

Prints Of Different Sizes

This is all about balancing out the size of prints and patterns. Say, if you want to wear a top with small print then go for bottoms with larger prints. It is all about the variation here. 

Pair Complementary Colours

Check out your complementary colours. Colours that appear right opposite to each other are complementary colours. Like red and blue look nice, pink and green look pretty together, yellow would look great with purple... so on and so forth. To make it more fun, play with the hues. 

Same Family

Do you want to play safer? then stick to the same tones. Like you could pair earthy tone with another earthy tone like olive greens and browns or bone colour with earthy brick red. You can also pair jewel tones with other jewel ones- emerald, ruby, sapphire and so on. pastels look good with pastels. Buy Sugr by Unlimited Women's Body Blouse Shirt for Rs 269, here.
