Check color wheel compatibility: Complementary colors (across from each other) and analogous colors (next to each other) usually work well together. Consider the occasion: Make sure your outfit is appropriate for where you're going. Balance patterns: If you wear a patterned piece, pair it with solid colors. Use neutrals: They easily match with brighter colors or other neutrals. Trial and error: Don't hesitate to try different combinations to see what looks best.
