I love mixing colors, but I know it can feel daunting. So here are some examples of ways I’ve done it. Hope these inspire you.
Look 1 Monochromatic
Sticking with one color and using different shades. I do think this is one of the easier ones. I think a key note here would be making sure whatever color you pick, that you’re just staying in the same tone. Meaning the purple can get lighter or darker, but not change from its core color.

Look 2 Primary colors - Yellow & Red
The reason this works is the colors are from the same core group. The primary colors are red, yellow and blue. These are the colors that basically make up all the colors. You can always pair together any combination of these 3 and they’ll always workout.

Look 3 Variation of Primary Colors - Mustard & Burgundy
Why this works is it’s really the same as the primary colors. I just took a darker shade of each color. The mustard is a darker shade of the yellow. And then burgundy is a darker shade of the red. Again, you could do this in any combination of the primary colors.

Look 4 Complimentary Colors - Green & Pink
Why this works is the green and pink are essentially complimentary colors on the wheel. The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. The secondary colors are green, orange and purple. Complimentary colors are the colors directly diagonal from each other on the color wheel (see color wheel).
So, green and red are complimentary colors. But I used a different value for red (pink). The light blue-green top I'm wearing has a lot of green in it. So it plays well with the dark green pants.
