What does that mean?
The Summer woman looks best in soft dusty colours worn in a gentle toning mix, like a soft bouquet of garden flowers. She can also wear pastels like the soft colours of the sea and sky on a hazy summer’s day, colours that have a soft blue undertone, or with dusty grey overtones.
Why Colours Matter
Colour is essential—so much so that we can barely imagine life without it. Can you even picture a summer day without the red of roses, or the blue sky above, or without the colour of sunflowers in the sunlight?
We bet you can’t; colours are so important that they are the very foundation of style, branding, and messaging too. The colours you choose to wear can help you feel confident, energetic, powerful, and absolutely amazing.
As you know there is science behind colour choices. Psychologists know the benefits of using colour in therapy, for example. Furthermore, surveys show that people tend to actually associate certain colours with specific messages. For example, in one research, out of 130,000 respondents, most people associated blue with dependability, yellow with happiness, white with purity, red with power, and green with good luck.
To bring all this a bit closer to the purpose of this report, colours can be your best allies in choosing clothes that really suit who you are. Regardless of whether you’re getting ready for an important business meeting or dining out, colour can help you send the right message: it could be one of femininity and grace, or one of power and reliability, or all of these.
Additionally, colour can also help with the following:
- It can make your skin appear clearer, it can tone down redness, and help you emanate a healthy glow.
- It can help you lighten the shadows and firm up your jawline for a younger look.
- It can help your eyes sparkle by intensifying the colour of the iris and of the whites of your eyes for a fresh, youthful, and rested look.
- It can help you create the illusion of a slimmer body and draw attention to your best features rather than problem areas which we want to minimize.
- It can help you pick clothes more quickly and be absolutely certain that they’ll go together in a wardrobe that complements you.
On the other hand, wearing the wrong colours can also make your skin look pale, sallow, or yellow. It can make your complexion look uneven or flushed, and it can make your entire appearance look tired or drawn. It can emphasize the shadows and lines on your face, and it can soften up your chin, which unfortunately creates an older look. It can emphasize problem areas and draw the eye towards them, as opposed to helping you create balance.
This is precisely why it’s extremely important to know how to use the right colours to your advantage. You deserve nothing less.
