Colour Therapy and Your Wardrobe
Choosing the right colour when dressing is nothing new and some
colours when we put them on suit us whilst other colours scream
"Oh no!" take it off. I recently looked in my wardrobe
to be greeted by lots and lots of black clothes, black, jeans,
black shirts, black jumpers, black, black and more black, you
name it most of my clothes were black with the odd splash of colour
that shouted wear me but I rarely did.
Fashion rut to say the least and I made a decision that a revamp
was needed. Black is a great colour but not everything! After
talking to a bunch of girlfriends they said the same about their
clothes that their staple colour was black but no real splashes
of colour and when we wear colours we do brighten up, feel happier
and say with our clothes something that we usually do not verbalise.
You can change the layout of your wardrobe and inject that colour
that is needed, I started by looking at the underwear and again
black and white, great staple colours but I wanted to inject colour.
Before spending a whole heap of money on clothes with colour we
have to first consider what colours suit us and what these colours
convey. Let's start with good old black….
1. Wearing Grey or Black Underwear - Invisibility and Blending
In
Wearing greys and blacks plain colour, but also slimming!
Let's face it, black
underwear and grey are fashion basics as my wardrobe proves
and those of my girlfriends. We all have the basic black suit
or little black dress, black jeans or trousers that are a must
wear for a number of different social settings. Aside from the
strapless little black dress hanging in the back of the wardrobe,
you are very likely to choose to wear black because you prefer
to blend in and not make any statement. It does tend to make you
feel that you disappear but we should all be able to put ourselves
out there and be proud of it. Black can team with different colours
perfectly as the black and white look proves season after season.
So rather than go for block black colour it up and mix black in
as an accessory.
2. Wearing Blue Underwear - Serenity and Calm
Wearing blue Underwear helps create a place of calm and serenity.
Blue
underwear is a cool colour and one that is calming and wearing
ocean hues of blue is especially calming. Indigo or darker blues
can offer more of a comfort zone feeling, almost as if you are
sinking into a pool of warm comforting water. Blues in general
remind people of their favourite pair of well-worn denim jeans
- now that's simply relaxing. (Denim jeans are generally blue
hues but white jeans and black jeans this season are also hot.)
3. Wearing Pink Underwear - Open Heart, love and
romance
Wearing pink Underwear conveys compassion and an open heart.
At Schultz we love pink and our pink
underwear are great sellers. Most people associate pink with
girls and many think that pink is a feminine colour. At Schultz
we think that pink can be worn by everyone, young and old, men
and women and it is also fashionable for all. But more than feeling
feminine, wearing pink conveys compassion and an open heart and
colour that is bold and masculine.
When people are wearing pink, whether they are male or female,
they appear approachable and capable of loving others; it simply
is such a great colour to wear. If pastel pink colours don't suit
you try on something in bright fuchsia or darker.
4. Wearing Purple Underwear - Unique and Special
Wearing purple Underwear shows others that you want to be noticed.
Purple
underwear is seldom worn as a neutral colour as it is vibrant.
Purple is the wrong colour choice to make if you want to blend
in among others it is a bold and "Get noticed colour".
A splash of purple brightens up an outfit and compliments most
colours. The colour purple, especially shades of violet, will
definitely make a "notice me" statement.
Wearing purple shows others that you want to be noticed and that
you mean business. If it is your desire to feel special and unique
then purple is the right colour choice. Purple is a one of a kind
colour.
5. Wearing Red Underwear - Powerful and Confident
a colour of danger!
Red Underwear is versatile and just a splash can make a huge statement.
Red
underwear is a very powerful and vibrant colour. Wear red
whenever you feel a need to portray confidence or would like to
boost your self esteem, it is vibrant and attention seeking with
so many shades of red there is bound to be a shade that compliments
your colour tones.
However, be aware that wearing too much red can make a person
come off a little too intimidating to others who may lack self
confidence in themselves, so splashes rather than massive blocks
and if that long maxi dress is a must for the summer team it with
great contrasting accessories. Visualizing the colour red can
help ground personal energies so anyone who has "flighty"
tendencies will benefit from wearing red to serve as a reminder
to ground them selves through the day.
6. Wearing White Underwear - Fresh Outlook - New
Beginnings
Wearing white Underwear makes you feel crisp and fresh.
White
underwear represents new beginnings a colour of purity and
nothing beats dazzling white especially on healthy glowing skin.
Putting on a white t-shirt or shirt feels like being given an
opportunity to start the day a fresh and energised. Wearing a
white garment, as long as it hasn't taken on any discolouration
from too much washing, can offer a fresh and bright outlook. But
we must remember hat whites can discolour and this s the time
to ditch the miscoloured whites and renew or invest in some "Vanish"
to see if that works!
7. Wearing Yellow Underwear - Cheerful and Happy
- Brazilians love yellow especially yellow underwear
Yellow Underwear raise spirits - uplifting and happy colour.
Yellow
underwear carries the same healing qualities associated with
the sun a warming happy colour. It offers warmth, optimism, and
light. All shades of yellows will cheer you up and help make you
feel happier, but must be worn with caution as again too much
yellow can drain the colour from some complexions. Wearing yellow
out into the world makes an affirmation statement - Happiness
and joy. Yellow is certainly an uplifting colour!
