FabSwingers.com forum: Colour Coordination

Somewhere In The Ether…

Inspired by and following Woody’s, Men Have It Easy thread; Good peeps - when dressing, do you consciously colour coordinate?

….Or are you a haughty Bohemian who giv’eth not one fuck’eth?

Over to you my fine folks

I wear what I wear, coordinate in my own unconventional way, averse to any mainstream styles or trends, a non-conformist approach...and I still wear skinny jeans with pride.

I do try to have colours that don't horrendously clash, but my usual aesthetic is jeans and a novelty t-shirt.

I consciously dress, and coordinate outfits from head to toes.

I'm the least female female I know.

What is the coordinating you speak of?

Yes, I like to coordinate where possible, but I don't like to be too matchy-matchy.

I often wear colourful tights, and match my eyeliner to them. It amuses me.

Hold on; isn’t there a saying: ‘Blue and green should never be seen, unless there’s a colour in between.’ (??)

Either way, I am not coordinated today.

White top with black joggers with a yellow stripe down the side.

Yeah….casual today

Actually it's blue and green, should never be seen, except upon a fairy queen

I'm all about the coordination

I must also ask (cause I’m dead nosey innit)

Lipstick and nail varnish wearers:

Do you similarly coordinate your lips and nails to your shoes/handbags/garments?

It must get rather stressful (no to mention expensive!) if so

I don't conform to the latest fashion trends, I wear what feel comfortable in. But I do colour coordinate. My base colour is always black (I have tried changing this habit over the years, but it freaks me out

) But I do add a colour, depending on what mood I'm in, and always coordinate shoes, handbag, etc

I love colour and patterns and I don't mind if they clash a bit.

As a robustly proportioned woman, people are gonna look so might as well give them something to look at. I find attitude can do a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to one's sartorial choices!

I do coordinate my makeup with my outfits. Not so much my lips as I try to distract attention from them rather than bring more attention to them. Mostly eyeshadows or style of makeup. My finger nails are always a nude/natural colour. My toe nails are often coordinated with outfits.

My bag and shoes are always coordinated with my outfit. I do this daily not just for going out out.

I feel utterly lazy in comparison

Having said that though and to be equitable, I do tend to opt for at least one neutral colour that can mix with anything; black and white goes with any colour….I think…..

So if I’m wearing black jeans etc, the colour top is all fine and dandy (I hope)

Colour coordination is part of dressing and of the pleasure

If your response had been anything else I'd have been very surprised.

I coordinate quite a lot but I also love a clash meaning red and green are fairly regularly seen on me.

My favourite match is socks to jumper as the first time I unconsciously did it, it bizarrely caused a colleague great consternation so I do that quite often now just for the reaction.
