I've Found These Weird Color Combos Actually Totally Work Together

Everyone has their sartorial strengths and weaknesses. Some people are great at finding expensive-looking pieces for cheap, some people are great at styling basics in a way that feels interesting, and some people really know what they're doing when it comes to wearing color. Even if you're open to wearing bold hues, creating unique color combinations is something that does not come naturally to everyone. It can feel overwhelming and intimidating to walk out the door in a color combo that is a bit weird, for lack of a better word, but the risk is one that always pays off. 

Since I, for one, do not possess the strength of knowing how to pair colors together that don't naturally match, I reached out to the one person I deem as being an expert on the matter. Meet Nnenna Echem. Nnenna is a fashion girl from Oslo, Norway who is constantly reinventing the wheel when it comes to color combinations, which is why I reached out to her to learn more about the weird color combos she has been gravitating toward lately. 

"When it comes to color combinations, I do think all colors work together if you just style them the right way," says Nnenna. "I often put together color combinations based on inspiration, pictures, travels, etc. The green-and-blue combination reminds me of the French Riviera, so that's a combination I love to wear, especially in the summertime. Blue and purple—as well as mint and purple—are colors I recently found out work well together. Purple works well with blue-toned colors such as teal and navy." 

Ahead, see the three unique color combinations Nnenna has been loving as of late and shop pieces in each hue. 

This mossy blazer paired with the bright blue leggings is proof this weird color combination really does work. 
Does this color combo also make for a striking Instagram moment? Yes it does. 
Nnenna dives deeper into her color experimentation here as she mixes and matches multiple shades of blue against her bold green blazer. 
The next time you're craving a suiting moment, mix and match two contrasting hues instead of wearing the full matching set. In this case, mint and purple did the trick. 
Please take careful note of the blue-shoes moment. Now you'll leave here with a fourth color combo idea in your back pocket. 
This duo is pure magic. These striking yet cool hues blend so well together and thanks to Nnena's genius styling, the pair is toughened up a bit with the addition of chunky boots.
Copy this look and you will get dozens of compliments. Mark my words. 
Further proof that suiting does not have to feel stuffy and formal, and instead, can read forward and bright.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
