Colour Matching

Expecto_Patronum

I'm not sure whether this is an autism thing or just a me thing but I've recently realised I really struggle to know whether colours go together or not. It's starting to really restrict what I wear as I tend to stick to things like grey, dark blue and black which largely go with anything. I recently bought a purpley coat which I really love but I struggle to know what I can wear it with as I don't know what other colours it goes with. How can people just tell what goes together and why can't I? Anyone else struggle with this?

  • I make it easy these days by wearing olive/khaki for gardening, then black/back & white or grey/cream/blue for everything else. When I buy Tshirts and find one that fits nicely, I buy 3 in each colour. If you want to wear lots of colours in separates, you need a large wardrobe.

    Isn't that what they call a capsule wardrobe Marianne? Where you have a few basic trouser, skirts and jackets/cardigans and a variety of different coloured shirts and blouses or tops along with scarves and other accessories to make an interesting but simple wardrobe.

    I'm not sure! I've never been good at 'dressing.' When I find a T or top that fits ok, I get the 3 in each colour as above then wear them until they fall apart. As I get older, it doesn't worry me to wear 'the same' for days on end ie the same style/colour of top.

    A new sewing machine that will do the things I want it to will cost about £300-£400, I found out via AI why the old one went wrong, it's only built to cope with two thin pieces of fabric, not enclosed seems, or attaching waist bands where you have 3 or 4 layers of fabric. It's broken the bobbin mechanism, although this dosent' show from outside and over strains the inner gears.

    I just need to find the right fabrics now and work out how to afford them.
