A Tutorial on Styling Living Color

You don’t need to be the vice president of the Pantone Color Institute to know how to style Living Coral. Just use these simple styling tips and you’ll be well on your way to being a fashionista in this pretty coral color. Try wearing different shades of coral from head to toe. Your shoes can be the Living Coral tone while you play around with different oranges and pinks for your tops, bottoms and accessories. You can use Living Coral as your statement piece by wearing shoes in that bright coral color with white jeans and other coral-inspired accessories.

You can pair Living Coral with neutrals as well. Try a neutral-toned overcoat with your Living Coral shoes. For other colors that complement coral well, try wearing a turquoise dress with coral shoes or turquoise shoes with coral shorts. You can do the same thing with dark navy as another complement to the lighter coral color. Try playing around with different shades of pink as well. For an effortlessly chic outfit, don a matching coral set. For a look that’s elegant yet fun, go for a coral suit with your coral shoes for a fabulously sophisticated outfit.
