If you ever find yourself stuck in a style rut, playing with fun new color combinations is a great way to liven up your wardrobe. In this series, we feature unique and unexpected color combinations, then give you stylish outfit ideas so you can try out these color combos yourself.

Want to stand out in a sea of neutrals this season? Don’t be afraid to rock bold colors during the colder months of the year! For example, in this color combo post, we’ll be pairing sunny yellow with luxe purple to create some colorful and stylish looks. These two hues are complementary (i.e. across from each other on the color wheel) so they were pretty much made to be worn together.

Outfit #1: Casual Cool
For this first outfit, we’re going to pair purple skinnies with a yellow button-up to create a stylish yet casual color-blocked look. Leopard print looks fantastic with both of these colors, so throw on a pair of leopard flats. Accessorize with a wraparound watch and a unique zig zag bracelet, then slip on some cat-eyed sunglasses to finish this look.
Outerwear is a great way to add color to your wardrobe, so this next look centers around a double-breasted purple peacoat. Pair the coat with a long sleeved striped tee and a yellow corduroy skirt for a cute and comfy look. Next, add gray tights and riding boots to continue the casual vibe. A printed scarf adds interest, while stud earrings are a simple way to glam up the outfit.
