To look stylish with color scheme techniques, it is a good idea to be aware of the golden ratio of ” 60:30:10
When styling color combinations, it is important to be aware of the color scheme ratio. The golden ratio of “60:30:10” is a guide for this. It is said that if the base color that constitutes the atmosphere of the styling is 60%, assorted colors that support the image are 30%, and accent colors that emphasize a specific part are 10%, it is visually balanced and simplicity and consistency are ensured. If you feel that your color coordination is not good enough, please try to coordinate with this ratio in mind.
Dressing Point 1: “To achieve balance in winter coordination, it is best to apply the base color to outerwear, assorted colors to bottoms, and accent colors to innerwear.
To balance the color scheme of a winter coordinate, in which long overcoats and voluminous warm-weather outerwear are the mainstay, it is a good idea to use base colors for outerwear, assorted colors for bottoms, and accent colors for innerwear. In particular, long lengths that are longer than knee-length will balance well with full-length wide pants or baggy denim, making it easy to create a well-matched color scheme.
Dressing Point (2): “Use dark colors to blend in with the upper body layers, while refreshing the look of the coordinate with accent bottoms.
It is a common technique to select and combine colors according to the “60-30-10 rule,” but even if you construct your styling without being bound by the rule, the result will be fine as long as it looks fashionable. Originally, accent colors (emphasized colors) are most effective when they are used as a single point (=10%) of the color, such as yellow, orange, green, etc. However, to refresh the impression of the coordination and to renew the image at once, it is interesting to boldly use a larger amount of color, as in the coordination below.
Point 3: “Sneakers in a wide variety of colors are a strong choice for accentuating the autumn/winter coordinate, in which subdued colors are the mainstay.
If you want to accentuate dark colors such as black, charcoal, and navy, as well as muted tones in fall and winter coordinates, sneakers in a variety of vivid and colorful color schemes are a strong choice. You can create a cozy look with the classic white sneakers, which can create a sense of escape, or you can accentuate your look with vivid colors or play with colorful schemes to add a touch of fun to your look.
