On Trend with REGARD Magazine .... Color Trend- Red and Blue

I love to eat! So imagine how excited I was to discover private chef to the stars Sasha Pearl-Raver was going be in the magazine this month. She’s an amazing beauty and makes beautiful plates for some of the coolest and wealthiest people in Los Angeles. The Dalia MacPhee dresses she wears in the pictorial are stunning, and it was really cool to see the short teal frock paired with hot red booties.

I love blue and red together, but it’s a tricky color combination. While there’s nothing wrong with patriotism very easily, one could look like the American flag on the Fourth of July. To avoid looking like our beloved star spangled banner, here are a few ideas to keep your outfit chic, and not band geek.

1. Use colors to add depth and freshness to an otherwise two color outfit. Here, I’ve added a white cropped sweater with multicolored hearts, and added a mint colored belt.

2. Add neutrals to break up the primary color frenzy. In this outfit, the wide leg trouser khaki trouser and tan suede clutch make the blending of red and blue really sophisticated.

3. Mix prints to create texture. In this last outfit, I’ve paired   a printed tunic with turquoise jewelry and an ethnic, beaded clutch. These elements add complexity to a simple tunic and jeans.

This color combo is really cool and can be very stylish. Give it a try!  Enjoy!
