I would like to start this post with a question. Think for a moment when you choose your looks, maybe you do it in front of the closet, while you have breakfast, what you are in the shower ... the place from which you do it is the least, but ... Do you combine the garments from your wardrobe or do you coordinate them?
Maybe these two concepts seem to be the same, but it is not, I explain the difference:
Combining is playing with the colors of the chromatic circle to create looks around them. Either making analogies of color, opposites, only primary, secondary or the palette of neutrals (tertiary). Combining these colors is the initial step to create a good look making your image look better by betting on a simple and safe bet.
But beware! Depending on how you combine these colors, you can make your look go from optimal to repetitive. This error is known as “matchy machy” (over-combined). To avoid this mistake, a safe bet is to choose a piece that stands out and combine the rest of the garments.
Coordinate arises when the technique of combining is mastered. It consists of choosing a main color and replicating it in some other element of your outfit, making more interesting combinations.
And after reading this ... What do you tell me, combine or coordinate?
