TREND ALERT
A trend I am seeing a lot for summer is the use of COMPLEMENTARY COLORS!
What are complementary colors?
Well, they are the colors that are opposites of each other on the color wheel.
Just think sport teams:
Denver Broncos are BLUE and ORANGE
LA Lakers are PURPLE and YELLOW
Christmas is GREEN and RED
I took an art class once and we did a cool activity where we took a red paint swatch and held it up to a white wall. After we stared at it for 45 seconds and took the paper away, we saw a green square on the wall. Weird right? But so cool!
Why are they called complementary colors?
They compliment each other! DUH!
Here are two swatches of the SAME red color. One next to green and one next to orange.

Which red looks more intense?
The Red next to the green is so much more intense!
Here is Chloe Kardashian in an awesome Printed Clover Canyon dress. Notice how the bag and shoe look super intense? That is because the main color on the dress is blue so it is helping the accessories stand out.
This is a perfect color to wear on a RED carpet if you want to stand out!
Need I say more?
Hope you all catch on to this amazing trend!
That is all,
