Hi Beauties, welcome back to my channel.
Today we're doing a little fashion, informative, tutorial, how-to.
We're going to be talking about a matching set
I don't know about you but I got a few of them,
and this is kind of my evolution to come out into the world after the sweatpants era.
So today I want to share with you a little bit of information about this matching set
and also where did it come, from what do we do with it, how do we make it versatile
I have to say that a matching set is probably the most adaptable and bendable trend
out there because you can create so many different looks just from one set.
We've been seeing matching sets for a while now each era had its own special prints but it was always around
Look at the 60s and 70s: It was very vibrant colors it was a lot of really cool shapes and geometrics
If you look at the 90s, it was still the matching sets with the slinky little tunics and the slip skirts,
very Chanel inspired outfits from Clueless
So let's get into how you can make the most versatile items in your closet serve you in many multiple ways
I'm going to show you how to style it casual,
to the beach, dressy, heels, out, drinks,
whatever it is I got it for you
So let's start with the first outfit
We do have a colorful very vibrant print so I'm gonna keep everything else a little more toned down and solid colors
So I am gonna pair it with my mango strappy shoes
These feel like clouds
And this is to just really bring out that more of a casual daytime look into the picture
and I am going to pair it with another solid color that I picked up from this pattern
and it's the Red Chanel bag
A big, big tip when it comes to wearing patterns and how to recognize which color goes with what
is very much look into the pattern,
look at the colors that it has
I'm going to show you throughout the video how I use this technique to help me really
Guide my way to what tops to wear with this, what bottoms which accessories I can bring in
This specific pattern gives me quite a bit of variety when it comes to colors
Being here in Miami, I'm very inspired by the colors
I'm inspired by the Vitamin D happiness I feel everywhere
So it's all about colors for me
For a night out, I decided to, first of all, tuck in the shirt
You'd be surprised how much it already does for you because it helps to define your shape and your waist
and it kind of even looks like a jumpsuit situation because it's all one pattern
You can stack up your jewels on
And then I decided to again for accessories anchor down this look with a bright color shoe
but with a solid color shoe, so I went for a yellow that again is present in the pattern
to kind of keep it all fun yet not too in your face
and then did the same thing with pairing it with my green Chanel bag
The color is green but it's muted and that way we can still work with the colors,
have a little bit of a more interesting look without necessarily going for the nudes and beiges
I wanted to create a little bit more of an exciting look
You can go grab a drink with your girlfriend you can go for a date night,
This is like a really fun summer night look
Next outfit I wanted to create something that is way way more casual
So the set is linen and it has a very fun pattern and I really wanted to make sure
that there's a vacation how to style look with this set
So this is again playing off the colors, you can use it as a cover-up,
something you wear to the beach with so many different bikinis and different color bikinis
I personally love solid colors for bikinis
so this was a great opportunity to jazz up my look
with a really fun pattern matching set
Paired it with my poppy red bikini, this is an easy one
This is linen it's breathable, wore a braided sandal from Mango to really
keep that motive of, you know, beachy vibes going
You add a fun hat to it, I decided to put my prada yellow hat on
and my jean sunnies, and then with my woven clutch
And there you have it! Vacation chic, hello!
So, speaking of making the set versatile, it's all about also wearing both pieces separately
So, you have a top you have a short
So I wanted to show you how you can style the top with other items in your closet
I made sure that I picked items that most of us have
So I paired it with my white bodysuit, just a great basic to have
And then put my favorite light denim on these are from Mango, they are boot cut
And these are just again, the lightness of it really works well with the colors in the pattern
Then to elevate like a pretty basic look, I decided to put on top our hero piece
Which is the patterned blouse from the matching set
This is a great way to really bring a bit more personality into your look
I love minimalism, but you know what?
Sometimes I gotta show up, I gotta show up
I gotta show my personality, I want someone to see me walk down the street and be like
"This girl: Confidence!"
I decided to pair it with a little kitten heel sandal to make it comfortable
Because this is still kind of a daytime kind of look or just a casual maybe brunch, casual dinner
And then paired it with my red Chanel, again great communication between the blouse color and the bag
And done. And done!
Next look I really wanted to create something that is maybe a bit kind of more conservative
That can be a little bit more of an elevated chic
You guys know, if you've been watching my content, I love a pair of good trousers
So, I decided to show you how you can pair a patterned blouse with neutral trousers
And make it look very chic and not, like, too loud
I paired it with these vintage cream trousers that I bought years ago
when you find a good vintage piece you gotta, MMM, take care of it
I tucked the shirt inside to make it again a cleaner look
You can definitely put even a bralette underneath and if you want it kind of more casual
Don't tuck the shirt and open the shirt up and this is kind of more even a beachy look
I feel like I would even go for a walk on the beach
with like a neutral bikini, my cream trousers and like this top opened up
Maybe somewhere in the hamptons
Maybe St. Tropez...
You go with your imagination wherever you need to go, you know?
I don't want to put any borders for you
I paired it with my Senso heels and these are kind of a neutral tan color
I want to keep everything pretty neutral because the blouse is the main attraction over here
And then again to tone it down, but still have a little bit of a color in
I brought in my green Chanel, again muted green to keep it all kind of flowing
The green Chanel also works really well for me because I have green eyes
so all these colors kind of help pop out your features
Next look is something that's a little bit dressier but still casual
You guys know I love an outfit with good white sneakers on
And I decided to create one with the shorts
So I decided to pair it with this La Perla silk cami
and then I have my Zara greenish salad-y blazer color
This is a blazer that I bought that I was like: "I will never wear this again"
It was like a moment in fashion probably like a couple of seasons ago
Where I was like: "This color is amazing"
and it is amazing, although I usually go for like these greens
But I couldn't figure out a way to wear it with different colors,
so this I thought would be a great opportunity
to bring in that green and to kind of elevate it a bit with this pattern
I feel like a lot of us sometimes get so confused with colors
and sometimes people pair colors that don't really go together
A great resource for me when I started understanding fashion and combining different colors
was just looking at the wheel of color that you can google and find online
A lot of the colors that work well together, some that are opposites
You see colors that usually are close together on the wheel that's kind of competing
so you want to avoid those combined together,
but there are a lot of options out there so check that out
I decided to pair it with my white Sam Edelman sneakers
and I decided to bring the little Fendi mini baguette into the picture
just a little pop and kind of wrap it up to make it fun and cheerful
Then I wanted to take these shorts and transfer them into kind of a chic outfit
keeping the shorts like a little pop of color, a little pop of pattern
I grabbed this wrap jacket from Mango and this is a white but not stark white
A white it works really well with the colors that are present in the pattern
So I would keep it with just like a bra underneath and keep it closed
This kind of has a more put-together look but we're still keeping it pretty casual
I grabbed these Chanel sandals and then I brought in my woven little clutch
This is probably something I would wear during the day out in the town
and maybe if I have like a casual business meeting like lunch
So, you know, something that will be airy and easy to wear
but still business on the top you know
Then I have this outfit where I wanted to bring a color
that's not necessarily a white, a beige
So I brought this linen button-down and I decided to tuck it a little bit differently
If you haven't watched my video on the art of tucking, it's out there online
and let me tell you there's a lot of ways to tuck, okay?
I decided to tuck this shirt in a way that brings
a little bit more of that casual vibes to it
So, what you want to do is take one side
and then you just tuck the right side to the left side of the pant
and then the left side to the right side of the pant,
and then basically what we're creating is this flowy silhouette
Because we do have the color on the bottom
and we have a solid muted color but still a color on the top
I decided to keep it pretty neutral with my shoes and with the bag,
so these both are from Mango
I really wanted something that won't attract too much attention
And then this little bag,
that is totally like a shoulder bag
but I made it into a clutch because that's what I do
