I’m a fashion expert and you should NEVER wear these five colour combinations – red and yellow screams McDonald’s

SOME colour combinations just work better than others, that’s why you should think twice before throwing on your favourite items in the morning.

There’s a good chance they could look awful, according to fashion whizz Gemma from What to Wear.

Although wearing colours can brighten up an otherwise boring outfit, if you put the wrong shades together it can look cheap, jarring and costumey.

That doesn’t mean you can’t wear them together – you just have to know how to do it right.

Green and red

The problem with green and red is that you can easily end up looking like a Christmas elf if you’re not careful, Gemma said.

Although the colours look stunning separately when paired together they might seem cartoonish and cheesy, especially if they’re both bright shades.

You can still make the colours work together though, just stick to one main shade and accessorise with the other, Gemma suggested a red dress with a green bag rather than a red top and green trousers.

“The other way to make this combination work is to wear different shades of the two colours,” she said.

For example, a khaki green paired with red won’t look as Christmassy as a bright green.

Purple and yellow

Although these two colours are actually very complimentary, when it comes to clothes that can be a bit over the top when paired together.

“If you put them together in a flower arrangement they’re gonna look quite beautiful, but if you put them together as an outfit they can look quite exuberant and bold,” Gemma explained.

The key to pull off the combo is to go for more muted shades if you want to wear them but in a more subtle way.

Think mustard yellow instead of buttercup yellow, the fashion guru said.

Pink and green

Wearing pink and green together can be a “tricky one to pull off,” Gemma said.

It might look stunning in pictures on Instagram but in real life it can be pretty jarring to look at as an outfit.

Avoid these this combination when it comes to bright shades and colour blocking, and instead stick to a muted and subtle print.

A dark green dress with pink florals can look stunning, for example.

Red and yellow

Unless you want to look like you’re about to clock in for your shift in McDonalds, it might be best to avoid putting red and yellow together.

They’re great on their own, but when people pair the two you can’t help but think of salty fries and a Big Mac.

“It’s unfortunate because the colour combination isn’t bad, it just makes you think of Ronald McDonald or Winnie the Pooh,” Gemma said.

She suggested paring a bright pink with red for an equally as bold look instead.

Orange and green

Lovers of bright colours and standing out might love wearing orange and green together, but for most people it’s hard to get right.

The fashion pro explained people tend to avoid orange clothes because they’re so eye catching, but there is a way to pull it off without looking like a neon highlighter.

“You could try orange white and black, or just orange and white , which looks so vibrant and fresh together,” she said.

Orange a camel can also look very sophisticated together, as can orange and blue, Gemma added.
