6 Color Pairings That Always Make Me Think "Wow"

As someone who lives in neutrals, bold color pairings have always seemed particularly intimidating to me. My intuition just does understand that two opposing colors in my closet pair well together in a cool, unexpected way. But some people do have this creative gift, and I always make mental notes of these bold color pairings.

Sometimes pairing two colors together that don't appear to do so creates a unique outfit that's truly eye-catching. As much as I love a monochromatic look, there's just something about the unexpected pairing that makes it even more striking. From bold reds with soft pinks to mustard yellow paired with deep burgundy, below are six of the best color combinations that you'll definitely want to have on your radar. You may even end up with new outfit ideas using pieces you already own but never thought to wear together.

On Aimee Song: Song of Style dress, Max Mara coat. Blue and pink together usually makes me think of cotton candy, but not this pairing—the salmon tone of this particular pink mixed with a bright sky blue feels elevated. I also love a printed boot to top it all off and give it a cool-girl vibe. 
On Maria Bernad: A.W.A.K.E Mode Button-Up Cropped Top ($216); A.W.A.K.E Mode High-Waisted Pencil Skirt ($341); BY FAR Far Rachel Shoulder Bag ($289). A light blue paired with a Kelly green is the perfect balance of muted and bold hues. The cool undertones in both of these also help these colors feel complementary. 
On Annabel Rosendahl: Isabel Marant jacket; Hermes scarf; Bottega Veneta bag. This might actually be my favorite color combination out of all six. The mustard yellow makes the orange pop. The warm tones also feel perfect for virtually any time of the year. 
On Nnenna Echem: Vintage shirt; Stand Studio Assante Tote Bag ($322); ASOS pants; Veja V10 Sneakers ($150). While pink and red are typically associated with Valentine's Day, I find it to be a directional outfit combination. The bold red hue looks even more striking next to a bright pink shade. 
On Emili Sindlev: 7 Day Active sweatshirt; Chanel bag; Nike sneakers . I've always found orange hard to pair—it's one of those colors that doesn't really go with anything so, therefore, it goes with everything. Next to deep green, it looks fresh and modern. 
On Ellie: H&M sweater; Chanel bag; Rotate by Birger Christensen . Mustard and burgundy together are like peanut butter and jelly—they shouldn't work together but they do. The warm tone of the mustard brings out something striking in the burgundy and worn together they are a match made in sartorial heaven. 

Next, I swear this timeless coat trend somehow always looks expensive.

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...
