What is the easiest way to refresh your wardrobe, adding color!
Colors have different energies, which can influence our mood and perception. When your wardrobe feels boring, and you’re losing the desire to dress, introducing new colors with different energies can be a quick solution. For example, vibrant colors like red and yellow can evoke energy and excitement, while cool colors like blue and green can create a sense of calm and relaxation.
I know many clients want more color in their wardrobes. During closet edits, I often come across colored pants or tops that don’t go with many pieces in their wardrobes. Their challenge is not seeing a cohesive color theme to bring into the wardrobe, a color theme being a set of colors that work well together and can be mixed and matched with various pieces.
The key is to consider your overall wardrobe and select colors that will work with all your pieces. This will vary based on the colors you like, your intentions, and what works for you.
I personally love the hunter-green combination. Right now, I have about four pieces with that color. It goes well with my coloring, and I just love it. I’ve thought about how I can incorporate more of it. For the spring/summer, I love to pair it with tan and white, such as a hunter-green top with white pants and a tan jacket. In the fall, I would pair it with browns or navy, such as a hunter-green dress with a navy blazer and brown boots.
Color schemes are fun to put together when you see them and relate to why you love them and how they will work in your wardrobe.
Let me show you how I took one dress and changed the colors of the shoes and bag to show you the shift in the energy of the outfit.
Classic blue and white are refreshing for spring and summer. This high-low color combination, which refers to using a light color (white) and a dark color (blue) in the same outfit, works well for those who prefer dark colors but want to soften them to connect to the season. The white adds refinement and elegance to the outfit, while the blue provides a grounding and sophisticated touch.
The combination of peach and blue creates a soft and tranquil look. This color scheme can evoke a sense of calmness and tranquility. Blue is often associated with serenity and stability, while peach brings warmth and softness. Together, they create a harmonious and soothing combination perfect for creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. This color scheme can be used in interior design, fashion, and art to convey a sense of balance and comfort.
The red and blue color combination is a classic and versatile choice. Red is a powerful and attention-grabbing color, often associated with energy, passion, and excitement. When paired with blue, a calming and serene color, the combination can create a striking and balanced look. The contrast between the warm red and cool blue can make for a visually appealing and dynamic color scheme. Whether it’s in fashion, interior design, or art, the red and blue combination offers a wide range of possibilities for creating eye-catching and stylish compositions.
