Fun with Adding Color to
Clothes
Although basic colors are the
foundation of your wardrobe, it is nice to add a
splash or two of color to enhance your wardrobe.
Your personality can be reflected in the colors
your choose to wear.
Find the colors that flatter your skin tones.
You may do this by holding various color
swatches up to your face to determine which
colors and hues flatter you.
Then determine what colors coordinate well with
your current wardrobe. You may narrow the
selection down to about three new vibrant
colors.
You may accessorize your wardrobe by adding
bright colored items such as a scarf, camisole
or jewelry. You can also wear a bright colored
pair of shoes rather than basic black sandals or
pumps.
Pastels or bright colors may be used to express
yourself, in whatever mood you are in at the
time. This could mean red for power; pink for
flirting; black for chicness; cool blues for
tranquility, etc.
When you are experimenting with color in your
wardrobe, you should not deviate too far from
your normal style and appearance. For example,
if you normally wear beiges or other neutral
colors, bright colors, such as fuchsia would be
too much of a contrast.
You do not need to adhere to certain colors due
your skin, hair or eye colors. Most women
cosmetically alter their hair color anyway; and
many women tan their skin either with cosmetics
or suntans.
Keep in mind that you should put bright colors
near your best assets because the bright colors
will draw attention to those areas, which you
want to highlight.
You may also experiment with certain colors in
your makeup palette, such as fuchsias for your
lips and nails. Then determine the specific
shades for your foundation and blush.
Color can be fun, therefore, use it to enhance
your wardrobe and overall appearance.
