Style is about knowing how to mix and match colors. You might think it is tricky to integrate green pants into your wardrobe, but with a color wheel and basic fashion tops, anyone can look sophisticated in green pants. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

      Use the color wheel. The color exactly opposite to your specific shade of green is the ideal color to wear. This color will be a shade of red. When combining these two colors, avoid a Christmas nightmare.

      Decide which shade of green best suits your coloring. Greens have a yellow or blue undertone. Hold up different tones and shades of colors against your face to see what complements you best. If you have blond hair, wear chocolate and green khaki, or greenish gray and black. Meanwhile, brunettes should wear navy blue and dark green, or olive green and white.

      Try wearing olive green to make you look more tan. It's also a sophisticated color that will work well with shades of brown, taupe, or gray.
