Reformation Dress Blue + Adidas Blue Gazelle

THE PIECES

Shoes

Adidas Blue Gazelle

WHY IT WORKS

Adidas Blue Gazelle (cream base, saturated blue stripe, gum sole). Mode 2 color strategy — color echo. The blue stripe pulls the powder blue from the dress at a different saturation. Deliberately not matching, but clearly related. The gum sole provides the warm accent. Reads playful, curated, and intentional rather than coordinated. The Gazelle removes formality and makes the dress effortless.

THE TENSION

Elegant maxi vs. casual retro sneaker — color echo creates continuity that makes contrast work
