Period. 2371664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, Angie! Between your comment and Ket's examples, you are making me look over my finds with a fresh eye. I might have to try mixing some red and burgundy. Although I think maybe one of my buff booties instead of the red heels.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371546 Sun, 06 Oct 2024 20:19:51 +0000 Angie 2371546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:)</p> <p>Good to see you, <b>K</b>! I know you wear this look beautifully. Light blue is GORGEOUS with your pretty eyes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like burgundy with bright red and cream!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371507 Sat, 05 Oct 2024 23:16:04 +0000 Ket 2371507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K., I love your holiday plans so much!!! The beads and brocade really make it festive and elegant. I also love the you’ve found the neutral that works for you and that it’s a deeper neutral outside of brown or black! </p> <p>Brown… I think brown can be good but tricky. Brown in general is a rather grounding color. Brown feels low energy on me. My hair is brown, more or less. I tend to need my browns paired with red lipstick or a non-neutral color, or to make sure the fabric is very rich in texture, metallic, etc. still searching for browns and other neutrals to replace black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371500 Sat, 05 Oct 2024 19:37:59 +0000 K. Period. 2371500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Ket</b>, what great examples! That leaf green is so pretty. I wouldn't have expected it. You've inspired me to try a new combo for the holidays. I already wear the citron sweater with the burgundy pants, but I hadn't thought to make it party-ready with a beaded clutch and my velvet slipper shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>Brown as a neutral for me has never made me happy (completely subjective--love it on others). I realized last year that wine or plum was my brown.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371498 Sat, 05 Oct 2024 17:43:55 +0000 Ket 2371498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, so many colors abound!!! I love wine paired with vermillion, warm orchid, cool blue-green, "Smurf" blue, cinnabar, teaberry, coral blush, blood orange, blue-purple heliotrope, mustard/saffron, toasted kiwi/lime, etc. I attached photos of examples. Some of my examples of wines lean more plum, but I had a difficult time finding what I wanted, So, I settled. (HA!) Anyway... I do love wine with neutrals, but I prefer it with more color too. Or at least, having the option.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371486 Sat, 05 Oct 2024 16:24:56 +0000 K. Period. 2371486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b>, I love that! Orchid and lilac are definitely winning combos for me too with my cooler toned burgundy. I haven't tried mustard yet. I almost always wear mustard with my light blue because I'm not an earth tones girl and mustard with burgundy feels very grounded for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371485 Sat, 05 Oct 2024 16:22:15 +0000 K. Period. 2371485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so lovely to see so many familiar names and faces in the responses. Hello, all!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jamie</b>, thank you! I love that its vibrancy comes across even on the screen.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, so true. I am 100% with you. I love and wear lots of neutrals too, but I've always craved the energy of well-combined color.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, gorgeous and we are boot twins too! I often wear those Ecco boots instead of the dressier ones shown when the weather is very wet or snowy. I have the J.Crew tuxedo shirt in white and now I am wishing I had the light blue too!</p> <p><b>Robin</b> and <b>Jenni</b>, it took me years to accept navy and olive as neutrals!&nbsp; When I read Angie's perspective that navy is her softer black, it helped bring it together for me. With olive, I just *heard* that it was neutral for years and then one day I realized that green is the backdrop of our natural world and suddenly olive as a neutral made a lot of sense to me.&nbsp; I also realized why a cooler green (more of a pine than a true olive) works better for me and the cool tones that dominate my closet. And of course those cool tones are naturally harmonious with navy.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sharan</b>, I agree that denim is the only 100% neutral that way! Actually, denim is how I came to understand that light blue is an additional functional neutral for me. I think of it as almost denim. Once I realized that, it resolved any concern I had about investing in lots of light blue. Now I have a large light blue capsule.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jules&nbsp;</b>(<b></b>and <b>Jenni </b>too),&nbsp;their examples definitely fell flat for me too. They seem like easy click-through sales opportunities rather than real fashion writing.&nbsp;I wonder if this is targeted at helping people who've been wearing the whole quiet luxury look for the last year or three and now need help moving into color? &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bonnie</b>&nbsp;and <b>Runcarla</b>, I love those combos! Carla, I swear I saw you post that outfit. So gorgeous!<br /><b></b> </p> <p><b>Sal</b>, I sympathize. I've worn a lot more neutral-on-neutral outfits the last few years because that's what is available. I also feel like I've been seeing fewer colors but in particular fewer well-designed colors (if that makes sense). Not just muted or soft, but tired. It has definitely made the last few years challenging for color.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371478 Sat, 05 Oct 2024 15:51:05 +0000 Suz 2371478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking of some other colours I love with burgundy -- pink, lilac, mustard, lime green, red, orange....</p> <p>Some things I've worn a lot with burgundy.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371442 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 20:21:10 +0000 Sal 2371442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t wear much burgundy but I love it with mustard and teal too. Also olive and denim. </p> <p>Here it’s all about neutrals - some recession fashion - which does end up influencing me despite trying not to be. But it’s hard to find much colour this season….. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371441 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 20:14:51 +0000 Jenni NZ 2371441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too many fashion journalists who have to think of something to write! That’s my take on the article. It’s one reason why I love this forum so much.<br /> I’m with Sharan though in that I mostly think of those “neutrals” as colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371430 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 16:55:49 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2371430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Funny! And I can see why you get compliments on that capsule. I love the combinations of wine with light blue and cream. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I can relate to RobinF's comment, too, in that I realize I see and treat most "neutrals" as colors. If I think about the concept of neutral as a color that I would put in an outfit without specifically matching it or thinking about it as a color, then I would say denim is the only one I really view and treat as a neutral. I will wear jeans or a blue jean jacket without regard to how they match anything else I'm wearing. Otherwise, what I consider my neutrals--white, stone, gray, dark olive, navy, brown, black--I will always pair with something else of that color in the outfit. Usually it's a patterned top that includes the "neutral" color.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371429 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 16:54:22 +0000 Carla 2371429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like unusual colour combinations. &nbsp;<b>Mirjana&nbsp;</b>did a series with wine and pale blue, and I did a copy cat afterwards. &nbsp;I think mustard and teal work well with wine too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371428 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 15:11:56 +0000 Bonnie 2371428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a lovely combo and you have inspired me to try it by shopping my closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371427 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 13:54:47 +0000 Jules 2371427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! And I don't even like most of their examples, the shades actually kind of deaden each other (purely as a matter of taste, I like a bit more contrast even in my neutral outfits). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371424 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 12:39:49 +0000 RobinF 2371424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like color but in small doses. So to me, navy and olive are colors - funny how different we all are! I love your ideas for combos, not sure I would do them for myself (blush maybe?) but they would be great together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371419 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 04:23:10 +0000 Suz 2371419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I love light blue and burgundy and Angie has been a big proponent for years! And looking at your Finds, I have decided on a new pairing of my own, plus an old favourite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371418 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 03:03:22 +0000 Lisa 2371418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with you, none of those are “colors.” It’s articles like that which led me to own a wardrobe of all neutrals for years. Now I do like neutrals and still own plenty of them, but my current style craves colors and pairing them in interesting combinations too. Unfortunately, I rarely see articles that reflect doing so. Or see people in real life doing so either. The best color combinations I see are always at a fashion show or in a magazine picture.</p> <p>The combination in the finds is lovely! I’d stop you to compliment them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371417 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 01:04:09 +0000 Jaime 2371417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you! And the combination above looks gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wine-and-a-laugh#post-2371415 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 00:57:32 +0000 K. Period. 2371415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I clicked through to this article promoting seven colors that look great with burgundy and had to laugh. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.whowhatwear.com/fashion/trends/colours-that-go-with-burgundy">https://www.whowhatwear.com/fa.....h-burgundy</a> </p> <p>Their seven colors? All neutrals: 1. Navy · 2. Brown · 3. Ecru · 4. Grey · 5. Olive · 6. Camel · 7. Black.</p> <p>I love neutrals, but I love intense color pairings too. Thankfully Angie keeps us creative. Based on her recommendations, my favorite colors to pair with burgundy are citron, light blue, and blush. I even love blue-toned red with it. A bit more colorful than neutrals.  </p> <p>Photos are my collected finds that always have someone stopping me on the street to compliment my outfit when I wear them together.  </p>
