How to match light colours flawlessly

Choosing the right combination of colours to wear may seem easy, but it's actually more complicated than it appears, because we have to pay attention not only to the choice of colours but also to how well the different shades sit together.

Light base colours like white, beige, sand and camel tend to be simpler to match. You can decide to combine a light base colour with another light base colour, with a dark base colour (black, blue) or with a bright colour (red, orange).

Choose a colour that suits you

The first step to a perfect colour match is to understand which colour suits you, which one looks good on you and which one doesn't, based on your complexion and hair colour too. If you have a dark complexion, perhaps you should opt for light, warm colours that bring out the light in your face; if you have a fair complexion, it's better to opt for bright colours and pastel tones.

Colours that look good with everything

There are some colours that really do look good with everything, and they're the ideal base to start from when choosing the rest. Along with classic white, beige, in its various shades and tones, is a colour that lets you put together a great many different combinations.

To get the perfect colour combination and avoid a ridiculous effect, it's best never to combine more than two or three colours.

Beige

Being a fairly easy colour to handle, it can be combined with white and black, but also with brown, with violet and dark green, with pink or with light blue.

With black or white it makes a classic combination, but always a very elegant and refined one. A timeless pairing, perfect for any occasion. Beige and brown, albeit in different gradations, belong to the same group of colours, so they look great together. Just take a look at the elegance of this two-tone scarf for proof.

Beige and pink together create a dreamy, romantic atmosphere, while violet conveys decisiveness and determination.

Sand

In the beige family we also find a more neutral shade such as sand. A colour with a strong character, it gives a very feminine and sophisticated touch and will make your outfit genuinely elegant.

Mink

Mink is a versatile shade that's easy to match. Warm and elegant, it's perfect for both a day and an evening look, especially in winter, and it suits fair and dark complexions alike.

A mink-coloured cardigan or turtleneck should always find a place in your wardrobe.

Camel

Camel is a very warm and chic colour, perfect for making your outfit look elegant even during the winter season. What's more, it's a very versatile colour that looks good on just about every complexion and hair colour.

Clearly, to avoid a dull, washed-out effect, you have to match it correctly with the other colours. Stronger, brighter shades often make this colour stand out best.

One great camel-coloured classic that everyone should have in their wardrobe is certainly the coat.
