Express Yourself With Colors
Feeling troubled over what color to wear? What color makes you looks good? Well, fashion is all about yourself. What you choose to wear every morning tells a lot about you and how you felt that day. Even your little handbag carries a little story.
Mixing and matching is a personal choice, you create your very own style! Well, let's get to understand and have fun with colors
WHITE
A popular color in Fashion. Light and neutral, it goes well with any color. Considered a summer color, a good choice for tops. Always have some in your wardrobe. It readily matches bottoms of any color; a pair of blue denim jeans, Khakis pants, a gray skirt, a bright colorful beach bermudas? You name it!
Associated with cleanliness and purity, innocence and gentleness…, it gives you a feeling of freedom and uncluttered openness. Women just always look that lovely in their snowy white wedding gown, don't they?
Tips: add a little touch of white to brighten or lighten up your mood Eg. a white tank top with blue denim jean, white cotton jacket over a hot pink velour smocked baby doll dress or a simply all white for a simple breezy look
BLACK
A popular color in Fashion, always stylish and never out of trend A good choice for bottoms. Directly opposite of white, it readily matches tops of any colors. Nonetheless, it's also a popular choice for tops, making the wearer appearing slimmer. A great complementary color for accessories like a pink sparkling evening bag, a diamond necklace…
A mysterious color, it gives you a feeling of perspective and depth. Symbolizing elegance and refinement, it as always regarded as a prestigious color.
Tips: pair up black with other dark colors for an attractive mature look Eg. a brown wool button front cardigan with black pinstripe bootcut pants, gray tweed cropped blazer with black stretch pintuck pencil skirt
RED
An expressive color extensively used in Fashion. Most visible and lively of all colors, it creates attraction and excitement. The wearer naturally portraits an image of excitable, energetic, enthusiasm and confidence. Nonetheless, it also suggests an erotic feeling, a lady in red?
A physically inspiring color often associated with vitality and ambition, love & passion.
Tips: pair up red with colors within the red family itself for various moods Eg a red retro style Tee with Maroon pleated skirt, hot pink cotton v-neck tank with red fleece collegiate mini skirt.
YELLOW
A color commonly use in Casual Fashion. Similar to red, it creates attraction and excitement. However it suggests a more fun and
sunshine mood. The wearer tends to bring about amusing cheeriness to the group. Usually liked by those who embrace changes.
The color of sunshine, often associated with joy, liveliness and optimism.
Tips: Pair up yellow with dark or lucid cool colors for a striking youthful look Eg. a yellow ruched halter top with black wool full skirt, yellow roll edge t-shirt with turquoise polka dot tiered mini skirt
BLUE
A popular color liked by most Emotionally opposite of red & yellow, it brings about a very soothing & relaxing feel, pleasant to the eyes. Naturally refreshing in mood, it's a good choice for daytime wear.
The color of summer skies and the sea, often associated with calmness, affection, idealism and inspiration.
Tips: Match blue with white for a refreshing and sporty look Eg. a bright blue cotton v-neck hoodie with white stretch cotton studded pants, white terry track jacket with pale blue faded jean.
PINK
A feminine color for girls Similar to blue, it's soothing and pleasant to the eyes. Naturally sweet in mood, it has a lasting girly appeal. Girls in pink tend to portrait a very sweet & pleasant image, always attractive to the guys.
The color of cotton candy, often associated with warm, everlasting affection & tender love
Tips: add a little pink to bring out the feminine touch Eg carrying a neon pink nylon 'Tessuto Sport' baguette while in your black satin strapless sash dress, pink collar tee with black stretched cotton cropped pant.
Well, there are simply too many colors if I were to go on. I believe you should now have a feel of how matching of colors can be of so much fun? In simple, just play by the color rules:
1. Stick to one color (all white, blue, red…)
2. Hot goes with cool (match yellow with green or blue not with red )
3. Use neutral colors to draw the looks together (white, gray, beige and black are good neutral colors)
4. Play around with color of the same family (pink with maroon, sky blue with navy blue…)
Remember you create your own style, have fun!
