Chic & Timeless Colour Combinations for Spring

Published 2024-04-29
Today I have my favourite colour combinations for Spring for you.
Beautiful neutrals that always look chic and put together.
I’ve prepared a lot of outfits to give you an inspiration for each colour category.

The reason I love the colour approach in creating an outfit is, because it’s so simple!!
Instead of focusing on specific pieces and silhouette you pick the colour combination and then put the items together. It also triggers your creativity to style the clothes you already have in a different way.

  • The fact that you have very dark hair makes a big difference in the way black suits you. When choosing colours for our clothes, our natural colours makes a big difference.
  • Another stunning video, thank you! So many chic combos here. As you are experimenting with dark brown, I would recommend dark brown jeans. I bought a wide leg, low rise dark brown pair from H&M and absolutely love them. Especially with a black belt and white top, or a black top. Accessorise accordingly. My new favourite combo! Beige would look too but perhaps not as crisp x
  • I love white with taupe, beige, light blue or soft greens. White is my favorite color to wear of all. Compared to you, I have Soft, Light coloring, and black doesn’t suit me very well. Navy is “my black” in most cases. I do have some black items, it’s hard to have a wardrobe without any, but I don’t usually wear it near my face unless I brighten it with a white collar, scarf, etc. and some makeup (which I don’t wear daily).
  • It is interesting how you wear the grey cardigan. Thank you for the beautiful outfits, it is always an inspiration. 🥰
  • Pouring rain where I am. No white pants, no flare jeans, as they will get soaked and muddy. It's so hard to come up with cute outfits. I will use your ideas when the weather clears.
  • @viviz.4157
    Great ideas as always. This video is for those who says that spring outfits must be full of colour!! grey and blue for me now are taking the place of black!! Thanks for the tip with the sleeves!!
  • You have just increased my wardrobe options with this video. Perfect combination! Thank you ❤
  • I love the all black outfit with the light wash denim jacket. Perfection.
  • @dianecyment1715
    I really enjoyed this video. These are all wonderful looks. I will have to try more black combination as I do prefer navy in the spring/summer months. It appears that you still have cool weather whereas I live in a warm climate where our temperatures are nearing 90 degrees. I look forward to your warmer weather wardrobe combinations.
  • @Telltale.
    So excited to see this today! Edit: I’m struggling hard to create a curated, minimalist wardrobe to take to a destination wedding. I don’t mind being the only person who’s not wearing bright, showy colors, but I feel like I have too much black?
  • Great styling, thanks❤ I’m glad browns are available again, especially the cooler-toned ones, like your taupe jacket.
  • Yes for black & white! Those are the two colours combinations all year round with hints of dark brown and navy blue. I love your content. Your style is beautiful! I am a classic, masculine, country style person. ❤THANK YOU ❤
  • @healingswan
    I loved your video and your style! Great color combination. Thank you. 🖤🤍🤎🩶💙
  • @marianne7122
    This video has so many good ideas, I am saving it.
  • @lu_re7198
    Love your sophisticated effortless style. I’ve started adding more browns to my wardrobe too. Thanks for this amazing video! 🌸
