Pick a palette of 3-4 colors.
Think in terms of tones: blue tones, earth tones, neutrals, pastels, etc. Everyone can express their own sense of style within the chosen color palette.
-
Avoid obvious brands, logos, advertisements, and busy patterns.
-
Avoid neon and bright colors.
-
Stick to solid, muted colors–earthy tones, muted gem tones, monochrome, beige, and taupe are great examples.
-
Keep colors complementary as opposed to completely matching (e.g. all white shirts and blue jeans).
-
Keep accessories and jewelry simple, or skip it altogether.
-
Wear your hair how you like it, but typically stay away from ponytails. Typically, the looser and more flexible the style, the better!
-
Avoid baseball caps and sunglasses.
-
Consider the season, weather, and environment.
