The Colors You Wear it will Say About You
Have you ever looked closely at your closet and realized
that you favor one color over others? Most people probably assume that all New
Yorkers’ closets are bursting with black (you might be right), but beyond the
all-black New York wardrobe, you have your neutral-palette wearers, your
primary-color gals and your jewel-tone lovers.
So, do the colors we gravitate toward really mean
anything? Actually, yes! We dug around and found out what each color in your
closet represents and how each can play a part in your wardrobe — and life.
Wonder what color will increase your productivity, help you ace your next big
meeting or exude happiness and warmth on even the gloomiest of days?
Red
Talk
about a statement! The color red is a symbol of energy, strength, power and
passion. It automatically grabs someone’s attention and creates a visual
impact. Making a work presentation or looking to stand out in a crowd? Wearing
red can give you that competitive edge and help you feel bold, authoritative
and like a complete badass.
Pink
Pink is a feminine, romantic and
affectionate color. It is a toned-down version of the physical passion of red
and represents compassion, nurturing and unconditional love. It is also
soothing. We saw the wave of millennial pink take over so many marketing
initiatives in 2017, and it’s probably because pink is a generally accepted and
liked color and creates a feeling of ease and love. If you’re pro-pink, we
think this color is great for first days, first meetings or first encounters
with people — it is a friendly and inviting color.
Orange
Orange is the color associated with
warmth, ambition, enthusiasm and energy. If you’re wearing orange, you’re
probably the life of the party and in a positive and engaging mood. Orange
normally isn’t the first color we gravitate toward, but we love how this
vivacious hue can liven up your mood and give you instant energy.
Yellow
Yellow is the color of intellect,
happiness and cheerfulness. It can improve concentration (think legal notepads,
sticky notes and highlighters) and is great for the practical thinker. On the
other hand, yellow is also uplifting, joyful and inspiring. The color is great
for boosting work productivity, energy and your mood. Do you have a busy day at
work, or are you pushing through an insane schedule? Add some yellow to your
wardrobe to keep you moving forward and subconsciously liven your mood.
Green
Green is located in the middle of the
color spectrum and is considered the hue of balance and restoration. It is
associated closely with nature, wealth, generosity, healing and rejuvenation.
Green exudes a charismatic vibe, and we believe that the color can be great for
any occasion — everything from a casual weekend adventure to an intimate
cocktail event.
Blue
Blue is often identified as a color of
intelligence, loyalty, peace and confidence. It is great to wear to a job
interview or important meeting because it will help you feel in control, calm
and successful. Overall, it is a well-liked color, and you can’t go wrong
adding a few shades of blue to your wardrobe.
Purple
Purple is the color of imagination and
spirituality. It indicates creativity, a love for the arts, sophistication and
even a sense of richness (in some form of wealth, luxury or knowledge). Purple
is a great color for formal events, creative outings or ornate embellishments
and accessories.
Brown
Brown is a down-to-earth color that
signifies security, stability and reliability. The color is effective when
communicating with others since the neutral hue is not distracting nor does it
connote any particular emotions.
White
White is often categorized as a color
for purity, innocence or a fresh start. White evokes a sense of harmony and
balance, so an all-white ensemble can make an unexpected and impact statement
in a sea of color and bold prints.
Gray
Gray is often an unemotional color —
the neutral hue is a transition color (neither black nor white), so it is often
seen as a calm, composed or reserved shade. It can also evoke balance and
neutrality, like brown and white, but gray also has a sense of calm and
serenity.
Black
Black — the most mysterious and
protective color of them all. While this color can seem unapproachable at
first, the dark hue also exudes elegance, luxury and power. Black business
suits, the little black dresses, the classic black pump — all wardrobe
essentials that are timeless, luxurious and powerful.
