My $.02 on the Finest Colours for Work Outfits
I simply noticed a humorous Tweet that mentioned one thing like “it’s time to place away my black summer time garments and produce out my black fall garments,” and I believed YES as a result of, as famous beforehand, I put on lots of black.

Then I began fascinated with how “pops of coloration” had been so prevalent some time in the past, with tons of contrasting and complementary colours. Clearly, I nonetheless recommend these sorts of pairings lots once we’re speaking about Swimsuit of the Week or whatnot… however for some time it’s been considerably absent from lots of “what to put on to work” commentary. I’ve been noticing extra colours these days — there have been tons extra colourful fits this yr, and a number of the stylings on procuring web sites have positively introduced again coloration in a giant manner.
However beigy neutrals have been so in style these days – it feels prefer it’s been a number of years now the place the one factor some bloggers put on is completely different variations of the identical beige outfit. I feel it was Amy Poehler who mentioned: good for you, however not for me — my pale pores and skin appears a bit useless subsequent to beige, and I’m manner too susceptible to spills to wera such a lightweight coloration. I do suppose it’s higher for the display than all black as a result of lighter colours present texture and particulars higher, although, so I attempt to undertake the final shapes and texture mixing the place potential, however in black.
Within the background of all this, in fact, has been the return of “coloration seasons” as a well-liked manner to pick what to put on. (Elizabeth even reviewed her experiences with two on-line coloration evaluation providers!)
I suppose I do that to a sure extent — jewel tones look higher on me, and it saves me time when procuring on-line to have the ability to robotically slim the alternatives to my dimension and solely the colours black, blue, purple, and pink. It additionally does enable me to create one thing of a capsule wardrobe the place all the things, in idea, matches.
In any occasion: I’m curious, readers, whether or not you affiliate your self with dressing in coloration in any of those methods. Do you put on all black, on a regular basis? Do you persist with your “coloration season” for garments? Or do you like the minimal all beige look? Do the entire appears strike you as at present in style, or do any really feel like they’re from yesteryear?
