Matching tops and bottoms of the same fabric is fine.
In fact, that is the standard for fine men's suits.  The fabric of the tops and bottoms match.
I'm so small I never could do that as a guy.  Always had a mismatch. 

But, a mismatch usually doesn't work.
There are exceptions to every rule but the mind doesn't like to see small differences.

Which is why wall paper comes with lot codes so you can make sure every roll comes from the same press run.  A small color shift is bad.

Sometimes I see on Revolve that certain items are not available as a set, though you can buy matching tops and bottoms of the same fabric.
They don't want the hassle of customers arguing about exact color matching.

You know what I am going to add...

Quote from: Oldandcreaky on Today at 07:04:15 AMYesterday, in a nearby town, I saw a transwoman exiting a grocery store. She wore a long, flowered skirt and a patterned  shirt and vest. Color and pattern atop color and pattern atop color and pattern, a rudimentary fashion mistake, which invite a second look all by itself...and that second look took me to a face not sufficiently softened by estrogen, which is why I clocked her. I expect you wouldn't make that mistake, but do use your wife as a fashion consultant, which is something nearly all women do.

That seems like an odd way to wear clothes.  Each may have looked fine but together, not so. 

It is good to ask for advice.

I learned mostly by looking at the photography models wearing outfits, as shown in catalogs and at Web sites.  The pictures may have shown a blouse or skirt or pants that was on sale but you saw the entire outfit.

I figured that no retailer would post photographs of bad matching outfits, that would be a waste of money and would not increase sales.  So, I tried to match like style and colors, not exactly the same pictured outfit except sometimes I did do that.

What a light show last night!  The aurora on May 10th is said to be the best since 1938.  It certainly was spectacular here in Nova Scotia, where we seldom get good auroras.

This was taken by my automated all-sky camera, which takes pictures every minute, all night.  The concentric circles are centred on the zenith.  As you can see, the aurora covered the whole sky, well down to the southern sky.

I am going to the golf club today. I will wear a dark pink floral golf polo and a nice skort and sneakers that kinda look like golf shoes, with some pink socks. I am not going to play golf today, just go to lunch with a friend and her friend, who I do not know well but she is nice too.  But at least I will look like I might be playing golf. I am not any good at golf other than putting and driving the golf cart.

Before this I have a few hours of work around the house to do, maybe mow before leaving, and to shower.

It should be a nice first part of the day all in all.

I always ask my wife if I look ok before heading out. Sometimes she will offer advise. She has had a lifetime learning these things, would be silly not to take advantage of that.

I have found that Indian style curry seems to bother my stomach.  However, Chinese or Japanese curries do not.
