Adozen Clashing/Matching Rules


Well, two to be specific but here are half a dozen examples to really hammer it in to you. You’ve got to be clashing or matching my friends. Now, don’t panic. I know it’s a daunting look and the runway designers featured have certainly not held back, but the high street are going to make it very simple for you. Topshop for example, bless ‘em, have a whole section dedicated to ‘co-ords’ on their website for you to peruse. So now you can either mix and match and be clashing or easily purchase your matching trouser suit. Oerfect. River Island have also done the same, kind of them! There are plenty of fabulous patterns on the high street for you to mix and match with, my favourite being the exquisite bird patterned skirt from Miss Selfridge and the Hawaian Beach Scene blouse from H&M. Try and keep some of the same colours present when you’re clashing as well as similar pattern themes in order to ensure the look is making the right statement, rather than just clashing away for the sake of it! My Miss Selfridge look includes two kimono styled patterns in similar tones, whilst the H&M look combines hawaiian flower trousers with that gorgeous Hawaiian scene blouse. If you don’t fancy throwing yourself into either of these looks full throttle, try separating up the looks with some block colour or neutral accessories, a clashing ensemble would still look fab, but slightly toned down for day-to-day wear with a neutral blazer to accompany it.
