Splendid Combination of Colors for Vintage Wardrobes Part II
by Karen
Now we are continuing our color combination guidance in order to help you select the best colors for your wardrobe. Last time, we stopped at the best color combinations for red vintage-style dresses, but now we will consider the rest of the rainbow.
Yellow harmonizes perfectly with brown, green and golden shades. Red colors such as rose, pink, and wine are not the best colors to pair with yellow shades.
Orange goes great with ultra-marine colors as well as green, sky blue, white, lilac, mauve, violet and brown.
Lighter shades of brown include rust, clay, brick earth, and beige. Such colors are considered neutral. They perfectly harmonize with any shade of gray, green or olive, and vintage-style dresses in such colors may be worn on many different types of occasions. Nonetheless, wine, pink, berry or other red colors won’t pair well with brown hues.
Classic gray is very elegant. This shade pairs especially well with blue, sky blue, black, green, berry, red and yellow. But the “duet” of white and grey usually looks boring.
Finally, we recommended that you use white, gray and black as accent colors.
Beloved Yellow
You should be more than careful with all yellow shades and colors. It is a bright and very attractive color, but if it reflects yellow onto your face, you may appear unhealthy to others. That’s why yellow doesn’t go well with every kind of skin. It goes best with matte, non-glossy skin types.(chinese style outfit)

But this color is not a good choice for projecting the image of a business lady.Orange goes great with ultra-marine colors as well as green, sky blue, white, lilac, mauve, violet and brown.
Beloved Brown
If you want your outfit to appear well thought out, you must follow the rules of color combination. Brown looks best on those with “chocolate” heads, particularly on gals with hazelnut-colored eyes and olive or darker skin. Chocolate and brown make you look trustworthy, and they encourage others to be frank with you.

Beloved Black
Black is good for both business ladies and romantic gals. This color does attract the opposite sex, and it is the spread color for many retro-style dresses and evening events.

Beloved White
White is the color of innocence. It is the best color of all for making contrasts or for accentuating a particular part of your body or wardrobe. Black and white always go well together, even in an informal wedding dress.

Beloved Lavender and Mauve
Mauve results from the combination of two energetic colors, namely, blue and red. Many psychologists claim that mauve shades evoke nostalgia, which is probably why there are so many vintage-style dresses in these shades. Lilac, mauve and lavender “get along well together.” These colors also go great with berry, red-pink, dark blue, silver, yellow and sky blue. Sometimes these colors may pair well with different shades of brown.
