The 60-30-10 Color Rule in Fashion

At Gunnels Fashion Marbella, every outfit is created with balance and structure. The styling approach is based on the 60-30-10 color rule, a core concept in fashion styling that helps create coordinated and refined looks. It is especially relevant for Marbella fashion and seasonal dressing.
What Is the 60-30-10 Color Rule ?
The 60-30-10 rule in fashion divides an outfit into three parts:
- 60% – Dominant color: main base such as dresses, trousers, or sets.
- 30% – Secondary color: supporting layer such as tops or blazers.
- 10% – Accent color: small details like accessories or shoes.
This structure supports balanced outfits and clear visual harmony.
