    Color blocking is a fancy term for sectioning off your outfit with different colors.

As an extra touch, you can even pick out a pair of shoes in a different color. [9]
    • You can match a white jean jacket with a light green top, along with a black pair of pants and a silver pair of shoes.

Contrast with black.

    Nothing quite brings out the light tones of your jacket like a dark top, pair of pants, or skirt. Mix and match different black and white clothes in your closet—or, grab a black-and-white garment to get the best of both worlds! [10]
    • For example, you can pair a black-and-white top, white jean jacket, and black pair of slacks.
    • You might match a white dress dress with a knee-length black skirt, along with a white jacket. [11]
