In the meantime, we would love to offer some helpful tips as you are changing over your closets from winter to spring. Remember that colors can spice up your wardrobe!
Remember the color wheel?
If you never took an art class you probably remember the color wheel. The color wheel shows the relationships between colors considered to be primary, secondary and tertiary.
• Primary colors are red, yellow and blue.
• When you mix any two primary colors in equal measure, you obtain a secondary color.
• A tertiary color is made by mixing one secondary with its adjacent primary color.
When talking about matching clothing colors there are two basic relationships:
• Analogous colors are the ones sitting side-by-side on the color wheel and they usually work with one another. When matched the result is very nice as these colors are relatives and have little contrast. For example blue's analogous colors are green and purple, while red and green are orange's analogous colors. These colors work well in business attire.
• Complementary colors are colors opposite to each other on the color wheel When matched they intensify each other and really make an outfit fun and playful. For example, purple is complementary to yellow, blue to orange, red to green, etc.
How to match colors
First things first. Black and white can be matched with any other color. Grey is considered neutral, and it also can be matched with any color.
Generally, it’s suggested not to wear more than three colors in the same outfit to maintain a coordinated look and avoid looking disheveled. Always remember that “less is more” and don’t be afraid to use the color wheel if you’re in doubt!
Some other helpful hints you can tuck away for future use are:
• An outfit should have only one dominant color.
• Use darker colors for the parts where you want to look thinner. (I think we all know this one!)
• At least two items of your clothing should be the same color to pull your outfit together.
• Brighter colors are better for the upper part of your body because they will light up your face.
Another very important thing to remember is to match the color of your clothes to your skin tone and hair color. That’s another discussion though, but don’t worry because the excellent staff at Great Stuff would love to help you pick out the best colors and styles for you! We look forward to seeing you soon!
