6 Colour Combinations to Try in 2023

As Spring makes its way back into the air, colour returns to everyone's wardrobes. With practically infinite options for combining different colours in outfits, it's often difficult to find the exact colour trends that have ruled both the runways and our favourite It girls' Instagrams. From mixing vibrant colours like blue and orange to pairing opposing colours, there are so many choices for embracing colour this year. L'OFFICIEL rounds up the greatest colour combinations of 2023. 

Mixing several neutrals is a minimal way to embrace texture, depth, and personality into your wardrobe without going over the top. This colour combination (or rather, lack thereof) is effortless in its experimentation with mixing essential wardrobe staples. Though it's often been frowned upon to mix cool and warm-toned neutrals, mixing browns and greys has never been chicer. 

Supermodel and fashion influencer Anok Yai was spotted blending beautiful neutrals on her Instagram. A rich army green overlay skirt, an opaque tan geometric top, and knee-high brown boots take the rein for effortless an colour combination. Though the monochrome look has been a staple for the past several years, mixing different neutral is a relaxed way to bring depth into your outfit. 

A true color combination, orange and blue contrast and elevate one another when paired. Vibrant orange has been a staple for many celebrity It girls recently and blending the intense colour with a peaceful colour like blue gives your look the absolute best of both worlds. 2023 has been the year of blue so juxtaposing this classic colour with something so over the top as orange is an exciting way to experiment with fun colour combinations. 

The iconic nepo baby and daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost, Iris Law, tried this colour combination trend out with a button-down baby blue shirt and orange silk skirt. She added depth and texture with a cream vest to add dimension to her outfit. 

Mixing vibrant colours with black is no new idea: but the black and purple combination has been a favorite recently with fashion girls. Both colours are rich, and when they're paired, the two have never looked better. Their complementary nature only enhances their depth. This colour combination is effortlessly simple because black is a staple in anyone's wardrobe. 

Wildflower Cases founder Devon Lee Carlson wore a black bra and sky-high stilettos along with a purple blouse, skirt, and hobo bag to the Versace Fall/Winter 2023 show. Model Jordan Daniels rocked a purple and black lingerie set while walking in Rihanna's Savage X Fenty Spring/Summer 2023 show. Needless to say, pairing purple and black has been an iconic combination this year. 

Blue has arguably been the It colour of 2023. Powder blue graced the runways in the Fendi, Hermès, and Givenchy collections this year. Keeping true to the effervescent, soothing notions of blue, grey stays true to this look. As a muted moment, light blue and grey is an easy colour combination. Simple to pair with their similar hue, these colours are beautifully light for this Spring season. 

Sydney Carlson rocked a muted blue mesh bell sleeve shirt with grey, cross studding to the Blumarine Fall/Winter 2023 show during Milan Fashion Week. Emily Ratajkowski wore a sheer sky blue dress to the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party with grey underwear. This luminescent look highlights just how effortless the blue and grey colour combination truly is.
