Colour and Fashion

A colourful world is a world of meaning because people have always used colour as symbols. Here are some of the ways fashion and colour have connected.

                                        Blue

  Blue is the most common colour. Blue has a calming effect. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. For this same reason, U.S. police officers traditionally wear blue. Since Blue is the colour of the season lets be LOYAL to it.

   

Black

Black is generally considered a serious colour. In the West, black is traditional for both funeral dress and sophisticated eveningwear. Black outfits can be overpowering, and villains, such as Dracula, often wear black. Whatever they say about Black we simply cant resist it. A little black dress is a must in every woman's wardrobe.

    

White

 Beginning in the 20th century, western  brides have worn white to symbolize purity.   In China, however, white is the colour of mourning. White shows dirt easily; doctors and nurses wear white coats to show that they understand cleanliness is important. But we simply adore the colour, it reflects simplicity, serenity and purity.

    

Orange

Brilliant tropical orange may be the most attention-getting colour. Like yellow, it can be used for safety—evening joggers and hunters in the woods may wear orange tops. Orange can be mixed with pink to make peach, a lively colour that is popular in warm weather.

                                              Purple

    

Purple has always been considered the colour of royalty, because for so long it was very hard to get. Cleopatra needed 20,000 snails soaked for ten days to obtain one ounce of purple dye for her royal clothing. These days its easy so let us grab some royalty Girls.

                                            Green

         

Green is the easiest colour on the eye. Hospital uniforms may be green because the colour relaxes patients. Green is also associated with nature, and brides in Europe in the Middle Ages wore green to symbolize fertility. There might be several reasons behind the colour but it definitely grabs attention. 

                                                       Red

     

The Aztecs of Mexico taught the Spanish how to make red dye by crushing insects called cochineals. Deep red looks bold, while pale red—pink—looks gentle. If you wanna be bold than the colour for you is RED.

   Yellow

 Cheerful sunny yellow gets noticed. In ancient Rome, yellow was the most popular wedding colour. Yellow is sometimes worn for safety reasons: raincoats today may be bright yellow so that the wearer can be seen easily in the rain. We don't need rain to wear the colour Yellow, DO WE? We just simply love the colour.
