The Color Theory Edit

Saturated color clashes, sculptural layers, playful proportions, and bright little accessories. Eight looks that are a color lesson in disguise.

The Color Theory Edit is built on combinations that should not work and do: turquoise with silver and red, electric blue knit with a pink suede skirt, cherry with aqua and butter, lilac with lime.

It is the most useful collection for learning what you like. Re-create the pairing each look suggests, then replace one color at a time and watch the outfit change character.

Practice the color wheel

Try a complementary pair (blue and orange, plum and lime), then an analogous run (pink, red, burgundy), then one saturated color against all neutrals. Keep the accessories tiny and bright — that is where these looks land their third color.
