For years an advice on how to create a complement ( accessories and shoes in a same color) was a very popular topic here. We discussed and posted different complements, some consisted of only a couple of items, some more elaborate with a belt, shoes, a bag and patterned scarf in a same or close colors. I participated, too, as much as I could with my limited color palette. It used to be the way of styling an outfit.
Recently, I saw a woman in a navy coat worn with a cognac leather crossbody bag, cognac leather boots, a matching brown hat and a patterned scarf with browns in it. I thought that years ago, I wore my cream wool coat with a leopard scarf, brown gloves and brown suede boots. I don’t remember my bag.
Aside from black, I avoid doing so now. If I wear for example, cream shoes, I prefer to use a bag in a different color. I actively avoid “bookening”, or wearing a hat and shoes in a same color. I like to wear my Bao Baos with black shoes since they are not too matching.
I don’t see this styling often in my city anymore.
Do you still use complements? Do you like matching your accessories?
