How important are colors? They are evident in movies, products, and buildings. It gives identity and mood, and it serves as an introduction when your mouth cannot find words to say. And more what evident way of showing how important colors are but your clothes!
They either scream or sit quietly beside you. They can tell people about your mood or your state of mind. In other words, wear your color because other than making you look good, they also speak for you!
It’s the color perfect for attracting glances across the room. It’s what you wear when you attend an art gallery knowing everyone will show up in black dresses and suits not because you want to attract attention, but because you know you can handle it.
And so here’s the innocent, sweet sixteen pink – it’s cute, it’s cuddly, and it’s definitely minimal – perfect for a casual coffee date with friends. It’s a low-key expression of how outgoing you are but also, ‘I’m kind of shy.’
Blue is the color for relaxation. That’s why Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr is in blue – because it calms you as you take your spare time for scroll up and down for updates for the latest fashion trends.
Maybe I should go with purple. Maybe a pink? How about lilac? Perfect! When you’re unsure, lilac. When you’re feeling cute and adventurous, go with a light purple that radiates youth and innocence.
It was Clementine’s hair color when she met Joel for the first time (and if you haven’t seen Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, you’re missing out!). It’s a color that proudly yells ‘I’m down with anything! Not everyone can rock a tangerine - it could be too bright for some, too prima donna as they’ll say, so in other words, people who can rock tangerines are special. Like the blue blood moon, like true love, like real connection, like you.
It’s the color of the year! What other reason do you need to wear this color? Like wine that tastes better in time, purple only makes you sexier and sexier as the night beats on. You blend to the atmosphere and its almost impossible not to notice you.
Rose comes in many ways there’s the innocent, sweet sixteen and then there’s ‘I’m here to rock your world.’ No matter which you prefer, remember to ask your skin tone’s opinion on it.
The outgoing and adventurous. You wear a maroon when you know it's going to a sporty day but you don't want to look too obvious that you prepared.
Yellow, mustard, or gold, it’s a color that screams ‘hey sunshine!’ Strongly recommended to be paired with a bright smile, a bouncy hair and an attitude that attracts blooming flowers and strays away the rain. Nothing and no one could take the clear skies away!
Indigo is all about long drive and midnight talks. It’s not too bright nor too dark, it’s what you wear when you want to be taken seriously and fun at the same time. It’s the right balance of approachable and sensitive, one that tells you, ‘he might understand what I want to say.’
Like how Sharpay Evans monopolized the color pink, you too can make your color part of your identity!
