Want to know of some unexpected color combinations that work?


Here, I have some good fashion color combinations for you. There is no need to fear pairing dissimilar colors when you know which ones complement one another.


Brown and pink outfit

1. Brown and pink

First up, we have a chocolate brown and fuchsia combination. Pairing the fuchsia with a dark neutral makes it much more wearable.


I like keeping the colors separate, with one on top and the other on the bottom rather than trying to combine them in one piece.

Brown and red outfit

2. Brown and red

This next combination is similar to the last one in that we have bright red with brown, but this is a more green-brown shade.


The same principle works here again, pairing a bold color with a dark neutral brings it back down to earth a bit and takes the sharp edge off of it.


Flared pants with a fitted jacket are always a faultless combination.

Turquoise and brown outfit

3. Turquoise and brown

Here we have a light, pastel turquoise with a purplish brown. The two complement each other nicely.


I think this combination is very elegant and sophisticated and is great for those who don’t want to wear something too bright.

Orange and pale pink outfit

4. Orange and pale pink

Of course, we had to have this bright orange and pale pink combination in here.


The pale pink tones down and softens the bright, bold orange, creating a harmonious balance.


Here, I’m wearing wide pants with a belted jacket that cinches the waist.

Navy and green outfit

5. Navy and green

Last up, we have navy blue with this bright, emerald green color. I think that this color combination gives really luxurious and opulent vibes.


I styled these two colors in a very sleek outfit, with a gorgeous silk top and a form-fitting midi skirt that has a stylish swoop at one side.
