To calm down the shouting bright green, combine it with things of a neutral, restrained shade. For example, you can wear white pants or jeans with a light-colored T-shirt and top it off with a bright green blazer. Complete the look with the same accent loafers.

An interesting option is to repeat the main color of the thing in one of the items of the image, and the lime shade – in another. So all the elements of your outfit will be connected with each other. In the nuances that can be traced in each item of the closet, is the secret of stylish and harmonious combinations.

If you are cautious about shouting colors in clothes, add a fashionable bright note in the form of accessories. For example, it can be shoes and handbag… As an option – socks. This option is great for men who can hardly tolerate large portions of brightness.

An important condition here: the shades of clothing with accent accessories should be neutral or match the accessories in temperature.

There are two rules of harmonious combination of colors. The first one is to combine similar in temperature tones of any saturation, when warm we combine with other warm colors, cold – with similar ones.

The second is to use the same saturation, yet of any temperature. A light warm shade looks harmonious with equally light and warm, and cold. Dark – with any dark colors.

It is important to combine tones in the right way and to choose products with modern styles.
