Did you know the colours you wear can affect the way others perceive you? Well, now you do. Here’s a little guide which will allow you to use this to your advantage.
Wear BLUE: to symbolise tranquillity and loyality. Job applicants are encouraged to wear blue to job interviews for this reason.
Wear BLACK: to symbolise authority and power.
Need to show someone who’s boss? Well show them!… in black.
Wear WHITE: to symbolise your innocence and purity. You’ll fool everybody.
White is also worn to connote sterility, which explains the uniforms of hospital staff.
Wear PURPLE: if you’re feeling a bit rich. It’s linked to royalty, wealth and sophistication.
However, because it rarely occurs in nature, it can be associated with artificiality.
Wear RED: to get noticed. Red is intense and eye-catching. It can aggravate some (bull-like) people though, so should be avoided if you’re planning a confrontation or negotiation.
Wear GREEN: to look natural. Green is associated with nature and because it is easy on the eyes, it is thought to have a calming and refreshing effect. Wear dark green if you want to be a macho man – it’s linked to masculinity.
Wear BROWN: to look solid and reliable. Yep, it’s that easy, men. This colour can also be associated with wistfulness. Yep, it’s that easy, men.
Wear YELLOW: to make people smile and get attention. However, yellow is known to make babies cry because it is the most difficult colour for the eye to take in. Stick to other colours when babies are near.
Wear PINK: to get lovey. It’s the most romantic colour and can have a tranquilizing effect.
Now hurry up and put some clothes on.
