the golden rule, keep it simple. neutrals are your best friend … light and airy colors keep things happy and bright and tend to photograph the best, creating a timeless look. Remember neutral does NOT mean boring.

pick a couple of colors and choose clothes that will fit in this color scheme. light and airy colors tend to photograph the best. keeping the color palette neutral creates a timeless and classic look. remember to chose colors you would want to see on the walls of your home.

there's nothing wrong with wearing patterns or stripes. just make sure they go with the color theme you select and include plenty of neutrals to carry them through. pair small patterns or big stripes with some textured pieces and you can’t go wrong.item description
