How to Match a Top with a Skirt (and a Skirt with a Top)? Color & Fabric Tips

Many tangueras often wonder: what top goes with a skirt, or which skirt to choose for a top? The good news is — there are no strict rules. It’s all about playing with color and texture.

✨ Colors don’t have to match exactly
If you have a blue skirt, your top doesn’t need to be the exact same shade. Different tones can look fresh, stylish, and modern.

✨ Print + Solid
A classic combination: a solid top with a printed skirt. Or the opposite — a printed top with a plain skirt. This balance always works beautifully.

✨ Playing with textures
Even if you want a monochrome outfit, you can make it more interesting by mixing fabrics. Velvet + jersey, velvet + lace, lace + jersey — these pairings add depth and richness to your look.

✨ Color combinations
You don’t have to stick to just one color. Contrasting, complementary, or even triadic color schemes (like those from the Itten color wheel) can create bold yet harmonious outfits.
