FASHION BLOG: Color not bound to season

Almost everyone’s heard not to wear white after Labor Day, but do we really have to abide by it? Are colors really bound by seasons?

Let’s face it: Even though the saying has been around for ages, we don’t follow it.

Sure, when spring and summer come around, we’re more likely to be drawn to the brighter colors in the stores or in our own closet, but we don’t banish white altogether from our wardrobe.

Elle Magazine considers black and white the colors of Spring 2014. Runway models display the new trend, which can be modern with new prints, lace and unique shapes.

It seems certain colors rotate around the seasons, but there’s always the combination of black and white, a classic look.

Pick and choose what colors would work best with your skin tone and what patterns are most flattering, so you can feel good about each piece of clothing you wear.

The seasons bring in new moods, creating in each of us a different mind set. To feel less gloomy in the winter, for example, it might do us some good to pick out a happier shade of clothing instead of the darker tones.

Some of my go-to happy shades are mint green, and what girl doesn’t love a little pink?

The way you dress can be a reflection on your mood, so if you’re wearing livelier colors, your attitude could be that way, simply because of what you chose to put on in the morning.

Every season has its own category of colors that come to mind, but when October rolls around, we don’t see everyone and their brother wearing carrot orange and black every day of the month.

My advice: be aware of what is out there and is trending.

Experiment with color and how things work together. Thinking back to the color wheel, although it may sound boring, it could really be to your benefit, recognizing complementary and analogous colors.

By taking an art class or even remembering back to your junior high days of creating masterpieces, you can gain a different perspective on color combinations you can make out of nothing.
