![]() ![]() Almost every one of my outfits seems to have an element of black or white in there somewhere.Ĭlearly I didn’t need this rule… it would seem as though I need to strive to incorporate more colors in to my outfits.ĪHA! I finally found one with three colors - none of which are black or white or even grey. It’s almost impossible to find an outfit in my archives with more than three colors (as long as we aren’t counting black and white) or even without black or white. The black shoes and bag support the look without competing with it, I think.Ĭardigan (XS) // tank (S) // jeans (6) // pumps I also love this one with the rust cardigan, ivory tank, and blue jeans. Sweater // jeans c/o // scarf // boots // similar leather jackets // sunnies ( option) // crossbody Rust scarf, ivory sweater, and grey jeans, and the black jacket and boots don’t count. Okay, let’s find some outfits with more color. Puffer jacket (S) // t-shirt (S) // joggers (S) // sneakers (8) // tote Here’s a look with olive, black, and grey… do we cancel out the white or the black or both? Does the brown handle in the bag throw it off? LOL! I have to say, more of an all-over black shoe might look better with this. Let’s keep moving… I think it will make more sense as we go on. Okay, before anyone says it, yes, I’m overthinking things a bit here. To me, the white jeans are a big part of the outfit and what makes the color combo pop.īut I guess white, being a non-color, gives the eye a place to rest… so it doesn’t contribute to making the look too busy, which is the point of this 3-color rule?Īnd then I guess the tote and shoes bring in some shades of brown, so that essentially makes three colors (blue, camel, and brown)?Ĭamel sweater (S) // denim jacket (S) // white jeans (29) // snake print sneakers (7.5) // similar belt // tote ( option) I combined camel, white, and denim, but the white isn’t supposed to count… I will admit, I don’t get that. Sweater // wool reefer // jeans // sneakers // scarf // bag // sunnies ( option) That adds up to four “colors” but since black and while don’t really count, does that mean this outfit has only has two colors? LOL! I’m already confused. I combined black, grey, denim, and white for this look. Let’s start with Friday’s look, since it seemed to be a hit. I’m not suggesting that this is an actual Fashion Rule that we should never break I just want to see it if it’s a guideline that might be worth paying attention to, especially when struggling with an outfit. Experimenting With The 3-Color Ruleīy way of disclaimer, this is supposed to be fun and light-hearted. It may be more helpful for those who struggle with overdoing it than the Plain Janes in the audience, but it has challenged me to look at some of my simple 2-color looks and add a third color for interest.Ĭonversely, if you struggle with going overboard and trying to bring too many colors together, perhaps this little fashion hack will help you streamline your outfit creation processes as well.Īll that to say, I thought I’d pull up some of my outfits that do and don’t follow the “3-color rule” and see what we think. So, this isn’t a “rule” so much as it is an outfit formula you can use to pull together chic and effortless outfits with items in your closet. The supporting outfit components would total no more than 3 solid colors that are also in the print.Īs I’m pretty simple when it comes to dressing, my first thought was: No more than three? I’m lucky if I can get to three colors in an outfit! And if black and white don’t count, Lord help me!īut this “rule” doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t do a monochromatic outfit or one with with just two colors the idea is that combining more than three colors in an outfit is where it can go wrong and start to become a bit of a mish-mosh. The exceptions are black and white - they don’t count, as they aren’t technically colors, so they can be intermixed without actually adding a color to your outfit.Īlso, a print can have more than three colors, but it would be the focal point of the outfit. ![]() The premise of the 3-color rule is not combine more than three colors in your outfit at any one time. Maybe for some of you, this is nothing new or revolutionary, but it was new to me. As I’ve been a little bored lately and spending more time perusing the interwebs for fashion inspiration, I came across the 3-color rule. ![]()
