A billion years ago, I remember when people wore matching everything. Actually, it was the ’80s and I was only 6, but I remember it! It bore me then and it bores me now. My stomach actually turns when I see this horrific crime being committed. Like the other day, I was buying coffee and a man in front of me was wearing a leather trench coat over a leather blazer and they were both black, AHHH! Never do you want to layer leather’s unless you’re about to roll off your hog before sliding under the vehicle next to you.
The worst possible thing you could do to your body is dress it in all the same pattern. This makes you appear as one giant glob of fabric and frankly it can be grotesque. These days fashion is about mixing and matching: inexpensive with expensive, bright with bland, textures with textures and even certain patterns are combined. This allows you to wear the clothes and not the other way around. It also makes your look more refined and sleek. If you are having trouble with this mix match style or you need help with color combinations, send me a picture of the piece and I will help you find how it fits in your wardrobe!
