Fashion WTF!?!: How to Wear Too Much Color

I’ve been having this constant debate in my head about the appropriate use of color in an outfit. Most claim that the most someone should incorporate into an outfit is three primary or secondary colors. So if you’re wearing a red dress, blue shoes and a yellow handbag you should be okay, right. We’ll obviously this “rule” of many stylist is a myth, complimentary colors are what’s really important in the end, but what about people who feel the need to go beyond the basic three rule? Are they color nomads with no home to call their own? Traveling the desserts in search of a colorful rave or Burning Man?

As a cautious observer of the color jumbles that people attempt (I only wear blacks, blues and the ocassional grey, yeah I dress pretty typical NYker.) I find that it is better to combine color crazyness with muted tones or blacks and whites. So if you wear a crazy multi-prismnetic rainbow be sure to tone it down with no color. The bubble girl does it best with this crazy dress she picked up on one of her haunts. Paired with blacks the look actually works. Check it out.
