The colors of your clothes, what do they say about you?
Have you ever stopped to think what you can inspire in others and in yourself with the colors of your clothes? Each of the colors we wear they have a symbolism and all are not indicated for the same occasions. The colors of your clothes speak of you and transmit sensations and attitudes that, at times, can benefit us and in others, harm. Discover which are to define your personal style of dress.
What the colors of your clothes say about you
- The Red. It is a passionate and stimulating color that communicates vitality and energy. Physiologically, the red one produces an acceleration of the cardiac rhythm and increases the blood pressure, preparing us for some kind of physical action.
When to take it: take it whenever you want to attract attention or so that they do not forget you. In a demonstration or in the crowds of a shopping center, it will be good for your children not to get lost. It is perfect for the night if you want to leave a mark.
It stimulates the vital energy, but the total-look can awaken aggressive feelings, so, when you go bright red, never make lines without a number.
- The blue. Psychologically it has a calming and pacifying effect on the nervous system. It is a conservative color that is associated with serenity, softness of manners and permanent values. The sailor also transmits authority and seriousness, and says who takes him who is hardworking, balanced and trustworthy.
When to take it: for its qualities, they call it the color of communication, that's why it is recommended for job interviews, to go out on television, to make a presentation or to make a good impression on your future mother-in-law.
The sailor is almost as sophisticated as the black one, with the advantage of not having his sad and pessimistic connotations, which is why we often choose him to give an elegant touch to children.
- The green. Color of nature, reassuring par excellence, your vision relaxes and refreshes.
When to take it: persimmons are widely accepted as casual, but because of their relationship with hunting and campaign uniform they are never worn to dress. The rest of the ranges are not very frequent in fashion, but a sporadic touch of green can be very useful to attract and show your most charming side.
- The pink. It is directly associated with femininity and tender love, which is why young girls and older ladies usually wear it.
When to take it: the total-pink look is not contemplated, under penalty of looking like an English abuelilla. However, on occasions that inspire delicacy-like a baptism and a First Communion-you can allow yourself a certain excess.
For the rest, just wear a sweater or a handkerchief whenever you want to soften your appearance or inspire tenderness.
- The brown. Color of the earth and nature. It is the favorite of the cold seasons; It means warmth, it is cozy and intimate, that's why we are close and friendly when we wear it because we inspire sympathy and trust in others. In its clearest version (beige), although not very energetic and non-communicative, it is relaxing and pleasant.
When to take it: it is a very appropriate color for the casual and also for working (in discussions of work it can help you to convince) and it is usually avoided to dress. With the beige, although elegant, you can run the risk of being bored or go unnoticed (which, on second thought, you can come well in those Americanized meetings where everyone has to tell a little about his life.
- The yellow. Like sunlight, yellow is often considered the most cheerful and vital color. Just as red has a positive effect on us, it encourages joy and joy, so those who wear it tend to be optimistic and extroverted people.
When to take it: Going yellow when working with children guarantees success. In the same way, discard it when the occasion requires a special seriousness like a funeral, or when you need to inspire status and prestige.
- The black. It symbolizes elegance and class par excellence, perhaps because it is also associated with clothing that represents respect, authority and power, such as those of judges and priests. Your problem is that it is also distant and cold but, at the same time, that individuality is what gives you a certain mystery.
When to take it: as casual, better in cold seasons and on off days. Perfect for the night and less suitable for weddings and very festive celebrations. For its funeral connotations do not take it if you have to encourage someone, or visit him in the hospital to avoid "a possible depression."
- The target. Symbol of purity, both external and internal. Although it is not an easy color because it fattens optically, it gives you freshness and tells you that you are careful, innocent and delicate.
When to take it: it fits better in summer, both during the day and at night - in winter it is better to limit it to the blouse-; but try to avoid the excess of white, if you do not want to be confused with health personnel or with the coffee grower of Saimaza.
- Gray. It is an ambiguous and indefinite color, going completely gray can indicate withdrawal or excessive discretion, and give you a boring and monotonous air - hence the expression "is a gray person" -. Its metallic version conveys, however, sophistication to be futuristic and modern. As it approaches the white it suggests innocence and, at the same time, it is refined and elegant.
When to take it: gray is after blue, the most suitable color for a job interview and for work. The marengo projects authority, without being as radical as the black one.
