What does that mean?
The Autumn woman looks best when mixing shades of colour, rather like the appearance of the autumnal forest.
Autumn colours are deep, earthy, rich and muted. Autumns can wear colours that are complemented by the golden undertones reflected in the appearance of the autumnal forest
Why Colours Matter
Colour is one of the most powerful tools we’re lucky to have been gifted with. In many ways, using the right colours can be magical! And there is science behind how people perceive colours and the messages they receive from them.
For instance, in a study of 130,000 people, most of them associated blue with reliability, red with power, yellow with happiness, and white with purity. You see, colour transcends verbal communication—it can send a message when no words are spoken, and even when your body is not sending out any other message.
Can you even imagine life without colour in it? For example, can you imagine walking through your favourite park on an Autumn Sunday afternoon and seeing nothing but grey, black, and white leaves on the ground? Or can you imagine apples on the trees in dark shades of grey?
Clearly, colour is very important for us; but, what does this have to do with style and fashion at the end of the day?
Well, it seems, the right colour can:
- Help your skin look clearer, emanate a healthy glow, and tone down facial redness
- Lighten the shadows and firm up your jawline: this will help create a younger look
- Enhance your eyes by intensifying both the colour of your iris and the whites of the eyes which will also create a fresh, youthful look
- Create the illusion of a slimmer body, if that’s what you are aiming for, by drawing attention away from your problem areas and toward your most attractive features
- Help you choose clothes quicker, knowing that they will all go together perfectly
On the other hand, wearing the wrong colours can also have the opposite effect:
- It can make your skin look sallow, yellow, grey and pale –
- It can make your complexion look flushed or somewhat uneven
- It can make you look tired and older by emphasizing the shadows and lines on your face you may haven’t noticed before
Use colour wisely and reap the benefits!
