WHAT COLOR SHOULD YOU WEAR TODAY?

You roll out of bed and have to decide on what to wear for the day. You think… What do I feel like wearing? Maybe a green top or maybe a yellow dress?… Hmm.

Did you know that those colors affect your mood, energy, and even your cognitive skills?

Wearing Colors

The older we get, the more we start wearing just black and white, maybe it’s because black and white are perceived as more expensive. And here I thought black was just more slimming!

Younger people gravitate towards clothing full of color, ones that vibrate and are expressive. Whether you choose to wear black or blue, here’s how the colors affect you and others.

Red

This is a power color, one that shows dominance and aggression. When women wear this color it shows fertility… it’s a very sexy color. So, if you want to get someone’s attention, this is the best color to wear for that.

Blue

The world’s favorite color… ask any child and they say they love blue. Maybe because it’s the color of the ocean, the sky, and represents purity. But for women, this isn’t the best color to wear.

In a study, blue was the least liked color on women because it had the appearance of making their skin look pale and a sickly blue, representing poor health.

Buuuut… I’d take this one in strides because, if you find the right blue for your skin type, it could be very pretty on. Having said that though… I don’t own anything blue in my closet. So maybe they are right.

Yellow

This is the least purchased color out of all colors. But here’s the thing… yellow increases cognitive performance and stimulates new ideas. Why do you think post-it notes and legal pads are in yellow?!

When people are put into a room that’s yellow, they will eat, drink and socialize a lot more. So if you are looking to ace your test or want people to talk to you, throw on something yellow and literally shine!

Green

Green is all about growing new and creative ideas. This color also helps recharge our batteries and reduces stress. So when you need to mentally relax and get that boost of energy, green is definitely the GO color to wear.

Life Is Like A Rainbow

Most of the time intuitively you know what colors you want to wear. We tend to gravitate innately to the shades that will either help us with energy or soothe and calm us down.

Just remember though, you don’t have to be young to wear color, and actually the more colors you add to your wardrobe, the younger you will feel. Although you might not want to wear a full red jumpsuit, so you can catch that someone’s eye… but you can add Ruby Red on your lips for the same alluring benefits.
