The combination of blue with other colors in clothes easily withstands. But such a tandem looks impressive only when taking into account the quantitative proportions and "mood" of all adjacent colors of the image. The color type of appearance is also important.
The color blue and its psychological perception by others
A person who chooses blue clothes, whether they are the basic units of the set, or their combination with shoes and other accessories painted in blue colors (or even Total Look) brings a sense of harmony and tranquility to the environment. For example, a scandal with an employee in a cornflower-blue shirt is much less likely than with a colleague dressed in crimson-red clothing.
Of course, blue clothes are not a weapon against conflicts, but the “color of the sky” has a relaxing effect on a person. A simple little turquoise dress will give you a sense of peace.
The blue color has been in trend for many years, this is not only due to its visual appeal - blue tones make people more balanced, because they are associated with the sky, and the sky is depth, the absence of frames, borders.
Many people see flying birds in this color, floating freely in the sky. It is because of the "magical" properties of blue that once upon a time a natural antidepressant colored the "second skin" of a person - his clothes.
Who is suitable for blue color according to the color type of appearance
The blue color in clothes in combination with other colors of different saturations suits the owners of absolutely all color types. However, there are certain categories of people whose appearance not only disposes, but also requires abundant intervention of blue in the form of suits, dresses, accessories. This caste includes two color types of appearance: winter and summer.
The winter type is people of bright contrasts: light eyes and hair, dark skin and vice versa. Blue shades on the face can enhance beauty, for example, a black-haired lady with very pale skin, adding even more aristocracy to the look. In this case, deep turquoise or aquamarine looks especially attractive.
The same shades make great friends with women whose skin is much darker than hair, they will maintain the brightness of their owner. Summer color type - the contrast between hair, eyes and skin is minimal.
For example, a tanned girl with dark blond hair and brown eyes, or a blonde, with light eyes and skin, can try on the entire palette of blue tones.
Summer color type withstands a huge amount of blue. Everything can be blue: a trouser suit, a dress, accessories (uniformity of sets is welcomed).
People with "summer" features should pay special attention to the color of blue topaz.
For spring-autumn categories, blue color in clothes is assigned in small portions, or blue should be at least when combined with another color. For example, painted in "heavenly tones", in the set of the spring color type, a small handbag can become. This also includes shoes or jewelry.
A silk scarf worn around the neck with small bluish blotches will also decorate. "Autumn" can allow minor accents on this color in clothes, especially if the eyes of the "autumn" girl are blue, then earrings of a similar shade will come in handy.
In addition to earrings, in this case, it is permissible to try on a jacket or trousers in terracotta colors with edging on the lapels and pockets from a blue border. Any small detail in clothes can be blue, including accessories on shoes, or a print (printed pattern) on a purse.
Basic popular shades of blue
There are an unusually many shades of color, but the consumers of the fashion industry gave the greatest preference to only a few of them. 
This is due to the special closeness to nature and the complete absence of "aniline" in the character of the palette.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine (aquamarine) belongs to the category of cold colors. Being a "descendant" of blue, yet quite independent, aquamarine has its own line of shades: pale turquoise, turquoise blue, dark turquoise, bright turquoise, turquoise green, topaz turquoise.
In women's wardrobe in the total color of aquamarine, you can find dresses and jackets, but more often girls prefer accessories painted in aquamarine.
Serenity
"Cold" serenity, or gray-blue color, is in fashion in one of the places of honor. This is the most popular color for straight-cut jackets and cardigans. Summer dresses and sheath dresses are also popular. Delicate color does not tolerate brute force, a person dressed in "serenity" from head to toe runs the risk of instilling boredom on others.
Therefore, a "delicate" jacket, worn over a black dress with rivets, complete with coarse shoes, or elegant dark boats, will come in handy. Such a thing will "calm down" a daring image and become a link between rebelliousness and femininity.
Forget-me-not
The forget-me-not color continues the cold range. It is often confused with serenity, because the prism of the forget-me-not also has a shade of gray. However, it differs from the previous color by its proximity to pastel colors. From a distance, the thing, dyed in forget-me-not, resembles heavily bleached denim.
For many years, shirts and trousers in washed-out blue have not lost ground, but they must be worn very carefully. You should not choose both the top and bottom of the same shade, better forget-me-not looks in the company of sharply opposite (saturated dark) colors... For example, a woman can combine a delicate blue blouse with a burgundy pencil skirt.
Cornflower
Cold color, which consists of: dark blue, purple, ultramarine. The intonation of cornflower blue can "sound" both loudly and muffled, therefore, if a woman has chosen a dress of a rich color, then many can easily take its color for a deep indigo color. There is also a note of forget-me-not. However, the sheer presence of purple clearly defines its own niche in fashion trends.
In this case, the total cornflower blue color in clothes is not only allowed, it is highly recommended.
Sky blue
Sky blue is more of a neutral color. In its prism, both a light shade of gray and a rich green are visible. Sky blue clothes are especially good on vacation in hot countriesas it perfectly sets off the tan. When it comes to casual outfits, then you need to pick up a sky blue T-shirt, for example, a contrasting pair of trousers.
It is worth noting this color is universal, because it is combined with all elements of the rainbow colorbut the secret to success is to keep the adjacent colors clear and vibrant.
Turquoise
Turquoise is a warm color. Turquoise contains a fraction of green, thanks to which it received a rich tint palette: light turquoise, turquoise water, turquoise green, turquoise topaz. In women's fashion, evening dresses and accessories are often found in this color and its variations.
An evening out requires extra sparkle, and turquoise is one of those colors that go well with the abundant diamond, gold and silver sparkle of jewelry.
Azure
Azure is found in the colder shades of blue. The color of the tropical coastal water is similar to turquoise, but it is not one of its possible tones, it is filled with Turkish and Egyptian azure, here there are shades of sea waves. Very often, women's swimwear and underwear are azure, as well as handbags and shoes made of leather (or leatherette) are at a premium.
Angora pullovers and sweaters of this color are also popular with many women.
Blue as a base color and as a complement to other colors
Blue is often found among the basic wardrobe: T-shirts, T-shirts, trousers, shirts, jackets, sweaters and cardigans. This is done for a reason, because the color "not arguing" with other additions to the image is the perfect compromise in order to look good. For example, a jacket of any bright color or muted will suit a blue T-shirt.
Blue trousers will do well with the neighborhood of a catchy aniline-colored blouse. Shirts in blue tones have long since become classics. These clothes are suitable for work and for going out. At the same time, being in a blue shirt, you can look equally impressive, both without additional decorations, and with a voluminous necklace under the collar.
Blue copes well with the task of the base color, however, it can become not only an excellent background for drawing an image, this color and its shades play their role perfectly, acting as small details. For example, turquoise paisley on a copper blouse is always relevant and looks very attractive.
Blotches of blue shades on clothes, or blue accessories, like other tones on the base background, are the most sure-fire option for creating a complimentary look.
Rules for combining blue with other colors:
Blue and white
Blue color will successfully complement white, such a combination of colors in clothes is suitable for people with blue or other, but always light eyes... Looks in which blue is the dominant are recommended here. For example, a classic white shirt can be framed with a blue jacket, and pants or a pencil skirt of the same shade will complement the set.
But in this case, totally white shoes will not decorate at all. It is better to choose a pair of boats, sleepers or moccasins to match the suit, or another light shade. Jewelry in the form of wristwatches, rings, brooches, etc. may have an overt shine, but strong color contrast should be avoided. Accessories should be related to the color scheme of the set.
If the eyes are dark, then the influence of white in the image can be enhanced. Using the example of a trouser suit, it may look like this: a cornflower blue shirt, or a blouse, a white jacket, light blue trousers or a skirt. However, shoes and hand luggage can be of any shade of white. A bracelet made of white pearls or a voluminous wrist watch with a light matte strap will complete the look.
In this case, small contrasts are acceptable; you can wear a bright necklace with inserts of burgundy, brown or bottle green stones.
Blue and black
On black, blue is lost, so better when the black color is assigned the role of "bright spots"... Light blue does not tolerate a lot of black things in the neighborhood.
Against the background of blue black, it is permissible to be a bag, shoes, wrist watches and any one piece of jewelry (beads, necklace, bracelet, etc.). Also, the bandana in the hair can be black if the outfit is of an unrepresentative type.
Blue and red
Unlike black, blue will never be lost against the background of total red. For example, wearing a blue shirt, blouse or top under a red jacket, adding red trousers to the set, you can create a stylish look. There should be more red parts in the kit, while the same color saturation is excluded: red can be slightly dimmer than blue and vice versa.
Accessories should be of any shade of blue.
Blue and blue
Related colors get along very well with each other. The combination of a blue dress and a blue cardigan, blue trousers and a blue top looks spectacular or t-shirts. But in any case, the shoes should repeat the saturation of the shade of one of the main elements of the image. Jewelry and a handbag can be of any color and texture.
Blue and green
If the kit is intended for going out or relaxing in a resort, this color combination is very suitable. It's harder to find a corporate employee dressed in these colors.
If you are about to go to a restaurant or a karaoke club, then the best option for this shade combination would be a deep green dress and gray-blue shoes. Moreover, such a set will withstand very voluminous and contrasting decorations. A clutch bag covered with shiny sequins in the color of the dress and shoes will add gloss.
Bright shades of blue and green are more often found in home clothing and on vacation, where, for example, a light green T-shirt and turquoise on shorts looks more than appropriate.
Blue and brown
The combination of blue and brown is found in casual sets. But the main thing to remember is that "warm" blue allows the neighborhood of only light tones of brown, while dark brown goes well with cold shades.
For example, turquoise color can be abundantly manifested in accessories (handbag, jewelry, shoes), while a dress or jumpsuit is in a shade of coffee with milk. In this case, the dress is a "canvas" on which you can draw an attractive image with bright blue accents.
Cool blue will show itself perfectly in a frame of rich brown shades. It is worth paying attention to the sets with the participation of light blue blouses, where the pyramid trousers of the color of dark chocolate with ankle-length legs successfully complement the image of their owner. Decorations of noble shades will fit well (a massive necklace, rings will do).
It is better to choose shoes and a handbag to match the trousers, or in a neutral color.
Blue and beige
This combination carries a hypertrophied neutrality of the image only if the tones of blue and beige are at the same saturation level. All shades of blue are suitable for beige. As an example, you can take another "canvas" - a dress, or a jumpsuit (or any clothing whose top and bottom are combined).
A jacket, leather jacket, ornaments of a refined character - a pendant on a long chain, small bracelets, a medium-sized handbag and contrasting shoes (either sharply feminine or sporty) are perfect for a beige dress. The main thing is that the clothes worn over the dress and accessories are of blue tones with different saturation.
If this is a jumpsuit, then an extremely long, dark shades of blue, a cardigan, voluminous jewelry, as well as shoes that do not cover the instep (meaning summer and deep spring, or replaceable shoes in the cold season) will decorate the image. A clutch should be preferred to a handbag, it can be lacquered, or with an unpretentious pattern on the valve.
It must be remembered that absolutely all accessories should have one or another shade of blue.
Blue and orange tone
Blue and deep orange paired together look very impressive.However, if you put a cold, barely noticeable shade of blue with a bright orange, then this part will give the impression of incompleteness. A flashy orange will pacify only a warm blue. The colder neighborhood of blue will withstand a more muted orange tone.
For example, carrot trousers will always get along with a turquoise jacket. In this case, there should be a minimum amount of jewelry (or without them at all). Shoes should be exclusively neutral in color.
If trousers are painted in cold blue, then the jacket (or any other top) should have a terracotta color. In this case, shoes can be matched to one of the main things of the image. Decorations in the form of contrasting jewelry will fit perfectly.
Blue and yellow
This combination is especially whimsical to the rule of "joint saturation". A set consisting of a blue bottom and a yellow top, and vice versa, the shades of which depend on the girl's color type, should not be overloaded with an abundance of jewelry, especially jewelry that repeats the main colors of the image.
As for shoes and handbags, one of these accessories may well have a blue or yellow color, while the other must remain in a neutral color. If a blue dress is chosen, then the shoes are chosen to match, the rest of the yellow accessories will play their role, bringing more brightness to the image. The situation is different with the yellow dress.
Shoes repeating a sunny shade will spoil the impression of the set, because shoes (or other type of footwear) should be blue, like the chosen jewelry (you should pay special attention to hair jewelry). Carry-on luggage may well match the color of the dress.
Blue and pink
The main rule when choosing an image of blue and pink tones is warm to warm, cold to cold... A rich, poisonous pink color will never make a good match for a delicate blue, and a rich turquoise will not make an image worthy if the color of a withered rose is next to it.
If you want to "break the rules", you can practice on small, barely noticeable details (fittings on accessories) - paint the brooch frame with a "forbidden" shade, for example.
The choice of a set using the example of a blue top and a pink bottom can be illustrated as follows: a sky blue jumper in tandem with a pale pink tutu skirt and shoes that repeat the shade of the top completes the general idea of the outfit. This image needs decorations, they can be contrasting and voluminous. The bag should repeat the main color scheme.
In the case of a pink top and a blue bottom, the rules for selecting accessories remain the same.
Unlike a composite image, pink shoes are recommended for a blue dress or jumpsuit. Of the active accessories, in this case, only shoes should remain. If the bag is pink, then the shoes support the dress. Catchy jewelry (necklaces, bracelets) with pinkish decorative elements should be avoided altogether. The same principles should be followed when choosing a pink dress.
Blue and gray
Any shade of blue next to gray always looks very fresh. However, it is not recommended to build a kit exclusively on related blue and gray shades, because a totally calm palette of not one, but two colors related in mood can inspire melancholy on those around.
Warm shades of blue look especially beneficial against the background of gray, even when there are a minimum of blue items in the image. For example, a turquoise blouse will dominate a seemingly overwhelming two-piece suit in asphalt. The blouses will be more than enough to make the look brighter, because it is very easy to overdo it.
For example, blue shoes and a similar bag next to an existing top will create a sense of tastelessness. You should always leave only one element bright, as in this case, a blouse. Cool shades of blue also work well with gray. The tandem can be easily complemented with contrasting and conflicting accessories.
Blue accessories and shoes
To choose the right accessories (jewelry, handbag, shoes) for the outfit, an accurate idea of the place where you have to go will help. Accessories of blue color cannot be universal and serve the hostess equally well in different occasions.
The main thing is to decide for which pastime you chose a turquoise necklace, a blue bag, or a belt for a blue python. With the answer to this question, the right decision will come.
Blue for work
If a girl works in an average office, then the abundance of accessories is a complete taboo. For a trouser suit, as the most popular form of clothing among office workers, a delicate blue neckerchief, small earrings in the ears and, if the dress code permits, shoes of the same shade will be enough.
The bag can also have a blue color, which will not be overkill, because during work the bag dutifully waits for its mistress somewhere in the locker at the desktop.
Blue for leisure on a weekday
Immediately after a work shift, many people want to go to a restaurant or bar. Therefore, it is important to prepare for the noisy fun quickly, which is facilitated by evening accessories prepared in advance and packed in a daily purse.
Very few things are needed:
- bulk jewelry (either bracelets or necklaces);
- the belt is bright satin (its blue, shimmering in different shades, the color in combination with other colors in the clothes will give a certain gloss and set off the shine of the jewelry);
- small handbag of custom size with a thin chain strap;
- pumps of matte texture.
At the same time, we must not forget that each part of the kit can have different shades of blue, but the accessories should be in a related color scheme.
Blue for the weekend
The casual style is very friendly with the lightest shades of blue. These shades look most harmonious on those weekends when there are no plans other than shopping and the movies. In light blue, you can spend at least the whole day, complementing the image with even lighter shoes and a small backpack.
In this set, there are no provocative decorations, it is worth limiting ourselves to a wrist watch with a whitewashed blue strap and glasses with azure-colored frames. If a trip to a restaurant or a nightclub is planned on a weekend, then a blue dress made of lurix, or lavishly decorated with sequins will come in handy. The same bright handbag will suit the image sparkling with blue lights.
It is better to refuse from the excess of jewelry in the form of a huge necklace and hypertrophied fingers, repeating the main color of the outfit. Shoes can be sky blue and have a matte finish.
If there is no shine in the clothes and a simple blue sheath dress is chosen for the restaurant, then some shine of the texture is allowed for shoes and accessories. In this case, jewelry, shoes and a handbag should have a darker shade of blue.
Blue for home
Blue accessories will complement even a cozy home look. It can be a bandana shawl with blue splashes on the fabric, funny plastic rings on the fingers, painted in warm blue tones.
Home style implies calm colors in clothes, which means its excellent compatibility with almost every shade of blue. For example, if it is a gray pajamas, then a turquoise headband, a voluminous cardigan and fluffy forget-me-not slippers will be an excellent solution for a pleasant home pastime.
Blue for a vacation trip
You can put on the whole palette of blue on the beach only when swimming and sunbathing are not included in the plans. The latter concerns women who love to spend time on the beach, being in the shadow of a cozy cafe overlooking the sea.
It is almost impossible to overdo it with accessories in a dress, because the action takes place at the epicenter of the resort - on the coast.Jewelry should be selected massive, and the desire to decorate the neckline with all shades of blue will immediately quench beads (of different structures) lying on the chest in several layers. A cornflower blue pareo should be worn on the swimsuit.
The headpiece looks more spectacular if it is a bandana with a pattern that repeats the color palette of the pareo... It is not necessary to select shoes to match, just like a bag. A pair of blue décor elements on the sandals and bag will be enough to complete the set.
An active beach holiday does not require a load of the image with a large number of accessories. A bright blue sheer cape, blue flip flops and a voluminous synthetic bag with a sky print, as well as a light hat with a turquoise ribbon are literally everything you need for a beautiful holiday.
What blue color does not match
In most cases, shades of different saturations, such as sky blue and bright fuchsia, do not get along very well. However, bright red is able to emphasize the tenderness of cornflower blue - this is one of the few examples where the general rules go aside.
A combination of blue and radical colors such as black is considered unfortunate if there is an overwhelming amount of black in the kit. Blue and black should be in equal proportions, or only small details should be left in dark colors.
In terms of versatility, blue is similar to beige, black and white. However, blue has other characteristics, it has a wider color palette, which is important to consider when correctly combining shades in clothes.
