6. Choose Two or Three Colours

clothing, dress, fashion, spring, costume, Trying to incorporate heaps and heaps of different colours into your outfit is a sure way to looking like you’ve tried too hard. So with that said, it’s great to choose two or even three colours per outfit as this will ensure you don’t end up taking it too far! For example, black, white and red (black pants, red blazer and a white handbag) are three great colours that work really well together in an outfit.

7. Know when Enough is Enough

If you start over-thinking it, you’ll probably end up adding lots of unnecessary things to your outfit and it will appear super convoluted and busy. Instead, recognise when you’ve got a really good thing going and leave it at that!
