Balance Trends

Matchy refers to having colors or patterns that match or harmonize too closely, often to an excessive degree. The term is often used as a critique of fashion or interior design choices that rely too heavily on perfectly matching items. Some synonyms for matchy include color-coordinated and matching. The term "matchy-matchy" is commonly used to describe similar or identical colors, patterns, or decorations that are not considered attractive. Matchy is also a brand name for a Berlin-based music artist and Beatport Top100 Artist in the Melodic House & Techno genre. The origins of "matchy matchy" as a fashion critique are unclear, but it has been used as a putdown for a few years. Creating coordination in colors in an outfit or decor is often desirable, but it is important not to overdo it and to add elements that create interest and balance.
