As much as we love a chic, all-black outfit, there’s something SO fun about experimenting with color, too. Especially when you combine two hues that seem like they really shouldn’t work together … but actually do!
Scroll down to check out the three unexpected color combos we’re loving right now. Whether you’re a fan of bold brights or something more subdued, we think you’ll find the perfect pairing.

1. Rust + Camel
Product Info: Coat – Forever 21, Top – Nordstrom, Skirt – YesStyle, Shoes – Wanted, Earrings – Modcloth
One of my favorite colors to wear lately has been a rich, rusty red. It’s bold but not garish, and has a sort-of vintage vibe that pairs particularity well with a sophisticated neutral, like camel.
This outfit plays up that old school feel with a layered A-line skirt and classic camel coat, topped with an ivory cropped sweater. Finish the look with beaded tassel earrings and metallic oxfords, which add a modern, trend-forward edge.
2. Teal + Plum
Product Info: Sweater – Tobi, Pants – Modcloth, Shoes – Lucky Brand, Rings – Nordstrom Rack
The old adage is true: opposites do attract. That’s why we’re drawn to the idea of combining jewel-toned teal and deep plum into one colorful look.
When pairing two bold colors, simplicity is key, so keep it casual with a cozy knit and skinny ponte pant combo. A soft taupe ankle boot keeps the look grounded, while a trio of delicate rings adds a hint of shine.
3. Mustard Yellow + Olive Green
Product Info: Dress – Forever 21, Jacket – Macy’s, Shoes – DSW, Sunglasses – eBags, Earrings – Gorjana
Can we vow to make 2018 the year of wearing more yellow? It’s so underrated! If you’re wary of rocking this color, we suggest trying a darker, muted mustard yellow, paired with olive green. It’s a trendy look that’s going to turn so many heads.
For a too-cool-for-school ensemble, layer your go-to army jacket over a cozy, mustard-hued sweater dress. Grab over-the-knee boots (and your fave tights!) to take it to the next level. Keep the accessories sleek yet attention-grabbing. We opted for tortoise circle sunnies and geometric drop earrings.
