Look for deeper shades of red and green to pair together. Crimson and emerald or burgundy and olive, rather than bright red and pine tree green, create a chic pairing.

Separate the two colors with a neutral to eliminate a jarring Christmas color explosion.

When one or more of the pieces you pair have prints, it will help to break up the colors.

The colors are far less intimidating if one is used as an accessory, like a red beanie paired with an outfit of olive green.

Make one color the hero piece and layer with different silhouettes.

Have fun by making the textures of your pieces the most interesting part of your outfit.
