This duo is tricky (red and white can be a little stark). To avoid looking like a Coke can, keep your red piece small, like a compact clutch. Then soften the overall effect with blush tones elsewhere.

Give a nod to the nautical look without going for a full-on anchor print. Instead, choose a striped tee in a faint red hue (as opposed to classic navy) and throw a chambray shirt over it. Or better yet, tie the button-down around your waist for an even trendier update. (The ’90s are back, baby.)

Your Keds are cool, but retro athletic sneakers are even cooler. When wearing this type of attention-catching shoes, keep the rest of your look simple (too many statement pieces and you’ll give off a circus vibe). We’re thinking a casual white top, some bangles and a few delicate rings.

Bored with your current work rotation? (Pencil skirt, pumps, snore.) Freshen things up on casual Friday by sporting your white duds with a blush-colored blazer and metallic flats. It’s relaxed while still work-appropriate, plus it takes you straight into happy hour.

Fact: White jeans are perfect for date night. Just keep the color palette feminine and cohesive. A pastel top pairs best with nude heels. Punch it up with a shiny clutch and sparkly studs.

While we’d advise against a bright orange top with white jeans (Creamsicle, anyone?), we do love an eye-catching accessory. Chandelier earrings are a fun way to showcase color without having to fully commit to the hue. Pair it with navy and silver to tie it all together.

The beauty of white jeans is that they can be dressed down while still maintaining a touch of class. When you’re headed to a baseball game, stash everything in an orange backpack (“Of course I brought extra snacks!”) and slide into a pair of always-reliable Birkenstocks.

This look is a bold one, no doubt. But if you’re going to do this color, do this color. How? By pairing it with black and gold. Thin-strapped metallic shoes keep the attention up top, and a dark bag and earrings lend sophistication to the overall look.

Nothing improves errands quite like a big, bright shopper tote. Bags are a foolproof way to incorporate shocking colors, because they appear farther from the body. When made with high-quality leather, they also elevate even the most laid-back attire (e.g., a sweatshirt and cap).

Like it or not, neon is here to stay--but it’s best in small doses. Find an accessory (like this rope necklace) that subtly hints at the trend. Then pair it with a minimal piece, like a graphic black-and-white tee.

The craziness of this color combination is not lost on us. But if you love yourself some lime green, add a bright pair of sneakers into your rotation. Soften the look with a slouchy pink sweater and your favorite canvas tote.

For the gal who likes to keep things simple, a military-inspired vest is a great summer take on the beloved cargo jacket. Throw on some comfy sandals and a chunky metal watch for a day exploring a new city.

There’s something to be said for sticking to the classics, and by that we mean owning one sweater that fits all occasions. Whether you’re picking your kid up from soccer practice or sitting in a chilly movie theater, a rich green sweater is a no-brainer for what to live in. Everyday accessories--like a raffia tote and gold sandals--fit right in.

Wanna sport your dust-kickin’ ankle boots all year long? If so, look to muted pastels like a mint-green tee to make those guys work with white jeans. (A worn-in leather jacket also applies for evening.)

Holy flamingos! We’re in love with this jacket. If you find yourself pining over a similarly crazy printed piece, you gotta go all out. Layer some stripes underneath (pattern mixing!) and stay simple with the shoes. White Vans it is.

Peanut butter and jelly. Corona and lime. Chambray and white jeans. Some things are meant to go together. Nail the time-honored look with a sleeveless button-down topped with a gauzy scarf. All you need are simple sandals and a textured bag--and maybe an iced coffee--for an effortless weekend look.

You’re on a beach vacay but need a little alone time on the porch. Step one: Find a gripping page-turner. Step two: Skip the boring tank top and throw a geo-printed tunic over your trusty denim. Step three: Laze the day away. When you’re ready to meet everyone else for dinner, toss on a complementary white hat.

A striking blue bag is a great way to inject a shot of color into your wardrobe, but that doesn’t mean it should be taken too seriously. Lay on the charm with a graphic tee and espadrille sneakers. Then bring it all together with a wrap bracelet that reminds you of summer camp.

Presenting the most perfect sandals ever. These ankle-tie beauties are the stars of the show. If you have something similar, let them shine by going monochromatic with the rest of your look. A ladylike top and crisp blazer (both in white) make for an ideal supporting cast.

It’s normal to associate navy and white with the yacht-club set. But a couple of on-trend accessories--say boho sandals, sparkly bangles and a bucket bag--breathe new life into the classic combo.

Colorful sunnies plus girlie embellishments plus the tote of our dreams equals an outfit we’d happily wear every day of the week (but will probably save for Sunday brunch).

Plum is admittedly a tricky one. But you know what it goes shockingly well with? Leopard. To make sure you don’t overdo it, pair your printed clutch with nude flats and delicate jewelry, like a crisscross ring.

Black on white screams minimalism. So do it proper justice with a sleekly cut blouse, of-the-moment mules, an icy-blue satchel and cat-eye sunglasses (for a little flair). If ever you wanted to command stylistic respect, let this meticulously crafted getup take charge.

Concert tickets burning a hole in your pocket? Throw together an appropriately rockin’ look with cutout booties, a muscle tee and a distressed-leather bag slung effortlessly over your shoulder.

When embarking on summer adventures (we’re looking at you, zoos and aquariums), comfort and utility are key. But a loose brown tank on a sweltering day hides sweat far better than a gray tee ever will. Finish the look with walkable denim slip-ons and a bright watch. Then toss a scarf into your bag in case the evening turns nippy.

There are times in life when you come across a beaded bag that’s too good to pass up...but you never know what to wear it with. Here’s your answer: that peasant blouse you bought in Mexico four years ago. White jeans were made for this embroidered, embellished moment.

Obvious statement of the year: Metallics work best as accents. And there’s no better way to pull off a surprising touch of shine than via now-fashionable Birkenstocks. For a sophisticated base, put your favorite white button-down and safari-esque hat to good use.

Rose gold requires consistency. Fabulous wedges beg for a breezy floral top and tortoiseshell sunglasses. Just remember to keep everything in the same warm color family.

If you’re dressing for a night on the town but want to look like a lady, (A) just say no to bandage dresses, and (B) spice things up with a party-ready silver clutch and an asymmetrical blouse.

Chicken or egg? Bomber jacket or brogues? Whichever came first, these guys couldn’t go better together. Amazing pewter oxfords feel like they have purpose when paired with similarly collegiate accessories.
