5 PERFECT CLOTHING COLOR COMBINATIONS


Pairing colors can either make or break your outfit. So, it’s only natural to feel a little uneasy when experimenting with new tones and partnerships. But, that doesn’t mean you have to stick to plain old head-to-toe black. Here, we take you through a variety of color-coordinated looks that will excite and enhance your style. From bold green and yellow outfits to chic pink and grey ensembles, these stylish ideas will teach you how to wear bold colors without clashing. Ready to embrace the rainbow? Here are the clothing color combinations you need to try this year.


1. Green and Yellow

Fresh and clean, green and yellow looks great on most complexions. If you’re warm toned, focus on mustard, khaki and dark green. If you’re cool toned, sharpen up an outfit by adding bright yellows and iridescent greens. To rock this color combination, try partnering a smart yellow blazer with a simple grey skirt or pair of jeans. Then, add a fresh white shirt and green accessories.


2. Red and Blue

The red and blue color combination is one of our all-time favorite looks. We love how you can completely transform a pair of jeans with a tailored red jacket and killer heels. It’s business up top and party on the bottom. It’s sexy without being over the top, and it smartens up a casual look.




3. Orange and Black

Whether it’s a dress that perfectly combines this brilliant color combination or individual items, orange and black, is the new black. Nothing lifts a black outfit more than a bright, bold color and orange certainly does it.


4. Purple and White

While white goes with anything, nothing looks more fantastic than when it’s paired with purple.  It makes your skin look creamy, and it just oozes femininity and sensuality. This marriage is so versatile that you can also mix in some gold and silver accessories and convert a daytime high tea look to a night out with friends.


5. Cobalt Blue and Turquoise

Combine cobalt blue with turquoise and you have a color match that is powerful and bright. Think ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ and wear this color combination with elegance and class. You don’t necessarily need to break it up with a neutral color like white or cream, and it’s one of those combinations that can look great with both silver and gold accessories making a versatile styling partnership. Your imagination only limits you.

Some Hottest Sneaker Released This Year

We’re still quite fresh into the year, but it’s never too late to take a closer look at the best sneakers of 2018 so far, here is a selection of the best drops of the year (so far), including highlights from Air Jordan, Adidas, Nike and more.

Levi’s x Nike Air Jordan IV

It’s not that first time that these two iconic American companies have linked up, but Levi’s and Nike put their heads together to re-work the Air Jordan IV in January. The mid-top basketball silhouette was re-worked entirely in denim, right down to the shoe’s cage, sole insert and laces. Usually found on the waistband of all Levi’s denim, the classic “Levi Strauss & Co” label appears on the sneaker’s tongue, with a Jumpman logo in place of the Levi’s two horse logo.

COMME des GARÇONS x Nike Air Max 180


Most collaborations can’t survive a single season, but COMME des GARÇONS and Nike have been going hard for literally decades, and it’s a worth taking note any time the two brands come together, the vivid Air Max 180 eventually released in a trio of colorways with pink used as the foundation of each sneaker. The sneakers were released exclusively at Dover Street Market as well as select retail partners.

Kendrick Lamar x Nike Cortez


Following a handful of somewhat lacklustre Reebok collaborations, Kendrick “Kung Fu Kenny” Lamar was enlisted by Nike to re-work a Compton classic, the Nike Cortez. Limited to a US release as part of the Cortez’s 45th anniversary, the special edition low-tops featured a nod to Lamar’s 2017 studio album DAMN., written laterally in bubble font. The partnership between Lamar and Nike should produce further sneaker drops later in the year.

Nike Air Max 98 “Gundam”


After the return of the somewhat mysterious Air Max 98 via a Supreme collaboration in 2016, new colorways started to land in early 2018. The “Gundam” colorawy is a nod to the RX-78-2 from the popular Gundam sci-fi series, featuring a blue and white upper with red details, including a red full-length air unit; a colorway that is perfectly suited to the vintage ’90s silhoeutte.

Nike Air Force 1 High “Flax”

Her collection is dubbed “Made in Kenya by a Kenyan.” She also teaches fashion design since 2009 and has another brand – SK Collection that sells ready to wear clothes for all ages.
