Fashion Missense

Hi.
This might be trivial and funny but...I really don't know how to put clothes together.
Like do black trousers go with brown shoes and all that.
I would appreciate some basic tips (or links) on how to match clothes and color...cuz im clueless and apparently, color blind as well.

Thanks

Alright first rule, don't wear crocs ever.

Your belt should match your shoes.
Black is only slimming if the clothes themselves fit properly.
Plaid may be "in" right now, but don't over do it.
No Ed Hardy.

This is bullshit. Someone came up with this and now everybody believes it.

No Ed Hardy.

Quoted because fact.

The easiest thing in the world is to just stick to earth tones... browns, tans, dull greens, brick reds, off-white, etc. The whole range goes together and you don't have to worry about clashing.

How do you know if you have an earth tone? Go outside, look at the plants and the ground; and if the color is there, you can wear it. Stick to that and you can never go wrong.

It also helps to befriend a queen or a stylish girl and go shopping with a chaperone. They'll explain it to you, and like the girl in The Devil Wears Prada, you'll pick up fashion sense by osmosis.

Tsk. Tsk. Gimme your card.

Like I'm an authority.

IF you've got the build, just look at the mannequins around the store. OR at the ads in magazines/tv/movies, etc. Actors and models have professionals that style them.

Personally, I think you should develop your own aesthetic based on your likes/dislikes and lifestyle.

Wear clothes that fit.
