The wonderful thing about pairing opposites is that there are so many different contrasts that you can incorporate, so it's not as if you're always wearing the same thing.
chic vs. grunge
solid vs. patterned
all black vs. pop of color
messy vs. put together
edgy vs. boho
form fitting vs. over-sized
feminine vs. masculine
new vs. vintage
The possibilities for styling contrasts are endless! Pairing opposites can really make you look as though you put a lot of effort and thought into what you are wearing, and take a typical outfit and make it more representative of your own style.
Further, this style of dressing allows you to incorporate a lot of unique pieces which will switch up a normally uninspired outfit. For example if you have a vintage bomber jacket or cool textured over-sized wool coat, you can pair it with simple black jeans and a cropped white tee to create a cool new vibe (this seems very Gigi Hadid to me).
I know this is a very short post, but this is something I turn to quite often if I don't really know what I want to wear, and it can help provide some inspiration! If you have items in your wardrobe which you normally only wear paired with certain things, maybe this new style can open you up to trying new combinations.
