Classic color combinations like blue and white and black and red might be timeless, but they can also read as monotonous sometimes. And in this day and age when trends come and go so quickly, it could give you whiplash, it's time to fully embrace a new, bolder, wave of color combinations.
Gen-Z yellow, melodramatic purple, outrageous orange—all the whimsical colors vying to replace Millennial Pink right now are reminding us of shades we frequently saw in our crayon boxes. And regardless of which will win out eventually (our money's on baby blue), we'll be over here test-driving all of them, and not one at a time either.
Trust us, there is life beyond monochrome, and if you're willing to get creative with the color wheel, you can create some incredible looks by pairing hues that, traditionally, are meant to be kept apart. Whether you team up sister colors pink and red, contrast bright green with acid yellow, or layer lilac with rust-colored accessories, these pieces take color clashing and turn it into an art form. Scroll on for a rainbow of outfit inspiration...
