What the Colour of Your Clothing Says About You

Hidden meaning behind the colours you love!

Do you know what the colours you wear say about you? Here are some outfits styled by fashion expert Janielle Mckoy — who shows us how to use colours to channel certain moods.

Look #1 – Red & Pink

When you think of red, you most likely link it to love, romance, and passion. If you love wearing red dresses, it indicates that you are someone who is energetic, strong-willed, passionate, a touch aggressive, and outspoken. 

If you find red over-powering, pink would be a great option. The colour pink and femininity are tied together. Pink denotes that you have a soft, comforting, and affectionate personality. If your wardrobe has more than a handful of pink dresses and apparel in various hues and styles, you are someone who values kindness and comfort above everything else.

Research has found that this colour causes the human body to produce certain chemicals that have calming properties. Also, Navy blue is the go-to colour for a job interview because it portrays a sense of being ‘in control’.

Look #3 – Green & Purple

Green is a colour that is easy on the eyes and mind. A green blouse or dress has a soothing and comforting effect on the people around you. It also shows you want to be well-liked and recognized. And just like the colour pink, green indicates that you have a soft heart and are very caring. 

Traditionally the colour of royalty, purple stands for sophistication, wealth, and luxury.
