How to combine incongruous things
There are many different variants of how you will combine clothes and accessories from different styles, but we will tell you about one easy way:
You make a clothes set in one style and you add only one item of clothing or an accessory in other style. It is important that this one element is cardinally differed from the main style. It should be bright and noticeable.
Example:
Right: you make a set in classical style (a trouser suit and a blouse) and as an accent add sport sneakers.
So you have the set with 2 incongruous styles: sport and classical style are considered as opposite to each other, i.e. they are incongruous in the point of view of stereotypes.
Wrong: you create a set in classical style (a classical jacket, a bag, shoes) and add denim from casual style. In this case casual and classic style aren’t opposite to each other, so the contrast is not very big. The image would look good, but it won’t be original and fashionable.
