How To: Burgundy

Without a doubt, burgundy color is the queen of this season. Don't have any burgundy piece in your closet yet? Well, hurry up, there's still chance to buy a piece, wheather a skirt, pants, shoes or bag. Because every woman NEEDS a piece in this fashionable warm color in her life!

Which piece to choose?
Red is a prominent color that attracts our attention. Highlight the part of the body of which you are especially proud. If you have long and slender legs you will choose pants or shorts. Burgundy sweater attracts focus on your upper body and the face. Don't forget the shoes, which are not only black or brown anymore. Be brave and wear them in burgundy color!

How to combine?
For those who like to stand out, the combination of bright red and burgundy is great choice. It will catch the attention without a doubt and you will look extremely fashionable. Wear a bright red dress and combine it with burgundy tights and shoes. Complete the look with golden accessories.

If you find this combination too extreme, you can combine burgundy pants with petroleum blue sweater and complete the image with nail polish of the same color. I've already given you some advice on how to wear burgundy pants in THIS POST.

This is the safest combination. Combine burgundy shorts with neutral tones such as gray and white. Complete the look with statement necklace in the same neutral color.

 

Choose the combination that's most suitable for you and own it! ;)

Do it like: Olivia Palermo

I'm often fascinated by Olivia Palermo's outfits. I'm asking myself How does she do it? How does she put together an outfit that looks so good at the end. Is there any rule to make it all easier and faster so you don't have to stand in front of the wardrobe, thinking hard which pieces to put together?

Well, actually there is! :) It's called Three color rule and its basic premise is never wearing more than three colors at the time. Don't believe me? Olivia can prove it:

As you can count, she always combines three colors in an outfit. Since black and white are technically shadows, you can be more flexible when putting these two colors into outfits. You can wear four colors if one of them is black or white. This is how Olivia did:

About the jewelry: try to stick to one color (either gold or silver) in an outfit, especially when wearing statement necklaces or watches. Just like this:

When wearing patterned piece of clothing, try to keep other pieces as simple as possible. You can choose a color out of the pattern and match it with an accessory, for example bag, shoes, hat or gloves.

Matching colors of your bag and shoes? That's been out of fashion for a long time! Rather try to combine the bag with the color of your trousers or skirt. I also like to match gloves or hat with the color of my bag.

Red lips also count, so you can combine the color of your lipstick with the piece of acessory!

Now that you know the trick, you can easily put together fabulous outfit and rock the streets in it! Work it, baby!
