Why You Should Play With Texture

Color is so last season. When it comes to mixing it up, what you really want to focus on is texture. By playing with texture, you can use a single color, and still create a look that's interesting and multi faceted, but still subtle. A few ideas would be to wear cotton trousers, a silk shirt, and a large, chunky cardigan, all in a single color. Or why not try layering soft, floaty fabrics like chiffon over something heavy and luxurious like velvet? Playing with different textures like this adds a whole new dimension to interesting dressing, and makes for a fun way to play with clothes. So throw all your rules out the window, start combining things you never thought worked together, and you might just find that you come up with outfits that are amazing, and different!
