HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLOURS FOR YOUR OUTFIT!!
I promised to discuss this topic in my last Sunday post. Initially, I didn't know where to begin, as it's a broad subject. But since many people expressed interest, I decided to tackle it bit by bit. Let's start with key factors to consider when selecting colors for your clothes;
1.Know Your Undertones;
Determine if you have warm, cool, or neutral undertones. If you'd prefer me to explain undertones in more detail, let me know in the comments.
2.Consider Contrast;
Choose colors that create contrast with your skin tone for a flattering look. For example, if you have fair skin, consider wearing darker shades, and if you have dark skin, lighter shades can provide contrast.
3.Test Colors;
Experiment with different fabric colors in natural light to see how they interact with your skin tone. Some colors may appear different once worn, so testing is crucial.
4.Stick to Your Palette🛞 ;
Remember that colour wheel from secondary school?well it’s time to put it to good use.understanding that colour wheel(primary,secondary and tertiary colours )goes a long way to knowing what colours to match and Build your wardrobe around a color palette that works well with your complexion. If you’ve forgotten and need a refresher on the color wheel ,please let me know in the comments.
5.Accessorize Wisely:
Add pops of color with accessories like scarves, belts, and jewelry without overwhelming your complexion. Experiment to find what works best for you.
6.Consider Occasion and Season:
Choose colors appropriate for the occasion and season. Bright, vibrant colors suit summer, while deeper, richer hues are more suitable for fall and winter.
7.Trust Your Instincts:
Ultimately, wear colors that make you feel confident and comfortable. Trust your instincts and choose colors that reflect your personal style and mood.
7.Monochrome Outfits are Underrated:
Wearing the same color from head to toe creates a striking and elegant look, especially when wearing the right color. Every skin tone can wear monochromatic outfits and still look unique.
8.Consider Your Intentions:
Think about your desired outcome. If you enjoy extra elements in your outfits like me 🤭,incorporate a pop of color or unique detail. For a more subtle look, stick to a simpler color palette.
