Having studied the opinions of various experts, website I found out how our favorite color characterizes us in the eyes of others and reflects our character.
1. Black
"Black is a color that's taken seriously," says fashion and style expert Karen Haller.
Indeed, according to psychological research, black is perceived by others as an indicator of prestige, power, seriousness, and also intelligence. Therefore, in many European universities the graduation gown is black.
Those who prefer black in clothes are ambitious, purposeful, but also sensitive people. Which, as a rule, are emotional and easily excitable, although they often try to hide it. The color black helps them switch the attention of others from appearance to personality, because it is the internal qualities of a person that are most important to them.

Brown is the color of earth. The color of something reliable, strong and stable. This is exactly what people who often wear brown and its shades appear to be.
These are slightly conservative people who respect their elders and always seek peace, stability and strength in everything. A girl in a brown dress or a man in a brown jacket will give the impression of a reliable, intelligent and rational person. In fact, this is true.
3. Blue
Journalist and psychologist Lisa Johnson Mandell writes: “Blue is the best color to wear to a job interview because it exudes confidence and reliability. That’s why many work uniforms or business suits are blue.”
Scientists from the University of British Columbia conducted a study and found that dark shades of blue tend to calm. Others associate blue with intelligence, trust, efficiency and calm.
Often shades of blue are chosen in clothes by people who are kind, empathetic, courteous, and even a little shy. As psychologists say, a person in blue will become an ideal parent or an exemplary employee. Calmness and poise are the main qualities of such people.
4. Green
Scientists from the University of Amsterdam say that green and its shades keep you and those around you in a good mood. “The pleasantness of green comes from its affinity with nature, which evokes feelings of peace and contentment,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute and author of Living With Color.
Those who prefer green are active in social activities, live in a good area, and have a stable financial situation. They are often caring and kind people with a soft heart.
5. Purple
In the past, the color purple spoke of belonging to high society. It meant sophistication, wealth and luxury. It is known that Cleopatra was simply crazy about this color. Only the rich could afford to wear such shades in those days.
Today, the color purple in clothing indicates creativity, insight and a love of art.
According to experts, people in purple are emotional and sensitive people. They are dreamy, passionate and love mysticism. We can say that the person in purple is an unpredictable person, with whom it is easy and difficult at the same time.
6. Red
Red is the color of passion and strength. It's the color to choose if you're trying to persuade or impress someone, says Kenny Frimpong, manager of Italian menswear brand Eredi Pisano.
Any bright shades of red attract all the attention. Others associate it with energy, movement and excitement. Psychologists from the University of Rochester have found that men are more attracted to women wearing ruby shades. "Red is a stimulant for men," says Abby Calisch, professor of psychology at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia.
Someone who often wears red is a bright, excitable, slightly self-centered and enthusiastic person.

How to make red in clothing an ally and not an enemy? How and with what to combine it correctly and what red things will make your stylish wardrobe? This is what our article is about.
What does the color red in clothes mean?
It is well known that red always and everywhere attracts attention. It is believed that men react immediately and always positively to a woman in red, showing maximum attention to her. Some psychologists even claim that in the presence of a lady in red, gentlemen are more willing to spend money. It’s easy to explain: red on a woman is perceived as an invitation to sex. After conducting many studies on the influence of red on male psychophysics, a curious circumstance emerged.
Men believe that by putting on a red outfit, a woman shouts to them: “I want it!” This opinion should be taken into account by lovers of red if they have no desire for sexual adventures. Otherwise, they will be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences of the “red exit.” Do not forget that in large quantities this color tires, irritates, and causes aggression towards its bearer from others. It requires not only courage, but also great taste, caution and skill in selecting and wearing red clothes.
Who suits red?
The first thing you must do is decide on your appearance type. This determines the choice of shades that will highlight your beauty, and not expose flaws, enhancing them. Red does not forgive mistakes.
Winter
These are bright brunettes with a cool tone of white, slightly bluish skin. A tan It does not apply well to it, giving a slight hint of chocolate or nut. Sometimes confusion occurs and “winter” skin with olive skin is classified as an “autumn” type. The blush on the cheeks of the “winter” rarely appears, and it is always barely noticeable. Most of them are brunettes with black to blue or dark brown hair. The eyes are always bright, cold, with contrasting iris and whites. There are many dark brown eyes, but also owners of blue, blue, ice-gray, violet eyes. Gray-blue, gray-green eye combinations are rare in “winter” women. The already striking appearance of “winter” will be enhanced by cold, pure shades of red: bright red, pink. “Winter” is also good in clothes of wine tones, where red has a blue or cyan tint. Such combinations look expensive and noble.
Spring
Women of this type have thin, delicate skin, pinkish or golden. In warm weather, golden freckles appear on it and reddish tan. Some women have ivory skin tone. When excited, red spots appear. “Spring” ladies have blond hair: flaxen, straw, light red. They have blue, gray, light brown or greenish eyes. Dark-eyed birds are almost never found among them. The appearance is not bright, fragile, as if airy. With the right makeup and wardrobe, they look elegant and romantic. Common European type. Warm shades of color that contain yellow as a base will help create a memorable image. These are: scarlet, cherry, coral, brick, lobster, orange, pink, light tomato. The tonality of the shades is preferably light and light. But it can also be darker, more saturated, the main thing is to observe the measure, not to overload the image.
Summer
A very common type of appearance in Europe and Russia. “Summer” women are characterized by a bluish, cool skin tone. In some of them it is milky white, or, conversely, pinkish, with a pronounced blush. Even the palest of them tan quickly and well. Gray-brown freckles appear on the face, arms, and even on the chest. There are women with olive-toned skin, they tan deeply, to the point of dark complexion. looks very impressive in combination with light “summer” eyes: blue, light and dark gray, gray-green. Their hair is most often light and ashy. Even brunettes have a cold, ashy tint to their hair. “Summer” will be decorated with cold, slightly dusty shades of red: scarlet, wine (all variants), lingonberry, pearl pink, raspberry.
Autumn
Skin tone is warm, yellowish-golden or champagne-like. For some, it is transparent white with golden freckles or peachy, yellowish-pink. Blushing is very rare. “Autumns” don’t tan well; as a rule, they get sunburned. Often the appearance of “autumn” women is bright and memorable. For others, it is inconspicuous at first glance. Any “autumn” blooms with even light makeup. When you see “autumn,” you will immediately notice her hair: red (shades from carrot to copper) or chestnut. Even blondes have a warm, golden tint to their hair. Eyes they have bright, radiant colors: blue, emerald, gray, golden, walnut. Specks on the iris of the eyes are a characteristic sign of “autumn” women. Warm muted shades of red in combination with yellow are suitable for them: pomegranate, carrot, orange, rowan, pepper, chocolate. For cool-toned skin, use variations of red with a drop of blue: the color of salmon, tomatoes, some shades of wine.
Red color - at what age is it relevant?
Red includes a wide range of shades. Above, we looked at which ones to choose according to your skin tone. But this is not the only selection criterion. This or that shade of red, it turns out, also has its own “age”. Bright shades of scarlet, cherry, crimson, red are appropriate on young girls and young women. These are the colors of carelessness, frivolity, joy. Delicate or bright versions of pink are also suitable for young ladies. Depending on the hue and saturation, this color carries a lot of information about the sexuality of its wearer. This needs to be taken into account. Innocent girls can be advised to wear light pink clothes. Women aged 25-30 can express their sexuality with the help of bright pink clothes in a warm tone. The main thing is not to overdo it. Remember that the combination of pink and black was chosen by the French “priestesses of love”. But the combination of pearl pink and gray looks very sophisticated and feminine.
The abundance of pink in an adult woman’s wardrobe speaks of her obvious immaturity, her desire to remain a little girl, despite her real age. As a rule, this makes a depressing, repulsive impression on men. Pink in clothes is good to use in doses, depending on the situation. Going on a first date or meeting the groom's mother. It would be appropriate in a bride's wedding dress or at a high school student's prom. Let's say pink on vacation, for easy, non-committal flirting without consequences, or at a creative party. Little children love delicate pink shades, so if your work involves them, feel free to wear these clothes.
The color of dignity
Dark red, cherry, and wine shades look expensive and noble. These are clothes for adults, accomplished, self-confident women, starting from 40+. They have achieved a lot and can afford restraint rather than aggressiveness. At this age it is important to look respectable. Let the texture of the fabric of the main outfit be matte, velvety, allowing the color to play in the folds. However, a lady aged 50+ and older can afford bright, cheerful, brilliant accents in her appearance. This could be jewelry, a hat, a handbag, shoes, gloves or light scarves or stoles. An adult lady of noble age does not mean an old lady. The judicious use of red in her costume will only add liveliness and sophistication to the whole look. Too much will make you look funny and ridiculous.
How to wear red correctly
No color is as demanding of its wearer as red. Located close to the face, it makes skin imperfections too noticeable. Refrain from red blouses, turtlenecks, jackets and hats if you have acne (even small ones), redness, or vascular dilations on your face. Those with yellowish-gray or sallow skin tones should not wear red. But you can safely use accessories of various shades of red: from scarlet to brick. Choose from this range of bracelets, belts, bags, shoes, gloves. Feel free to include red trousers, skirts, and shorts in your wardrobe. At the same time, remember that the part of the body highlighted by such clothing must have an impeccable shape, because the attention of others will be focused on it. Women with problem areas should not cover them with shiny red fabrics. This will make your stomach or hips look even bigger.
Red cannot be combined with red - this must be remembered well. A person completely immersed in red, from nail polish to red shoes, would only be appropriate on the catwalk or magazine cover. In real life it looks vulgar and tasteless. In addition, those around you will treat you with ridicule and even aggressiveness. You should not complement a red suit with accessories of different shades of red.
You need to select jewelry for a red dress or suit carefully and carefully. The abundance of beads, bracelets, rings, earrings, chains will make you look like a gypsy. If you are not going to a carnival, opt for one discreet decoration. It may contain a drop of the color of the main outfit, but no more. For example, to bright red dress You can wear light earrings with a small red stone. For a red blouse - a thin bracelet with red enamel. Remember, a red outfit is good on its own.
What to wear with red
Many women like red shoes. It is useful to remember one rule here: either color or shape. One thing should attract attention. Classic pumps in red colors are suitable for absolutely all women, regardless of age. At the same time, they will look dignified and stylish. But patent leather red boots with high heels are an option for a nightclub. Only young, relaxed girls can experiment with them.
Don't turn your accent into a dominant feature. This is the most common mistake that women make when shaping their image. Red gloves are matched to a red beret, and sometimes also a bag, scarf and boots, and the color stops “playing” in the suit. Your eyes run wild, there are too many red details and it is unclear which of them is the main one.
It is contraindicated to combine red with any animal pattern (“zebra”, “leopard”).
Where and why to wear red
Don't wear red to a job interview, an important meeting, or a parent-teacher conference at school. But if you have to speak in front of an audience, convince them that you are right, force yourself to listen, red suit will help you with this.
Unless you're a professional supermodel, don't be photographed wearing red. This color will ruin your photo shoot. Every photographer knows that red casts a glare on the face. Changes overall skin tone, takes on too much attention.
Red demands perfection in everything. Makeup, hands, posture, figure - everything should be neat, healthy, clean, well-groomed and beautiful.
Wardrobe in red
A red tight dress, short or with slits, is suitable for those with a slender, toned figure. Silver or gold trim will create a glamorous feminine look. A full bust looks even more flattering in a red blouse with a low neckline or a simple T-shirt. Regular blue jeans go well with red tops, sweaters, T-shirts. A little red looks stylish Evening Dress or a suit of a strict, classic style with a semi-fitted silhouette. Apply light makeup in natural tones, choose an elegant handbag and jewelry and your look is ready.
Young girls will not look cute and attractive in shorts, short skirts, or pink, red or orange T-shirts.
For traditionalists, we can recommend the classic color combination of black and red. Add a black coat or raincoat lined with red silk to your wardrobe. Buy dark trousers with red piping on the inside pockets. And also a black umbrella with a red interior or a scarf or scarf in fiery colors.
The festive combination of red and white suits absolutely everyone. Such things are especially appropriate in a summer wardrobe.
Who suits bright red?
We addressed this question to one of the most influential women's magazines in Germany, Brigitte, and received a short but quite meaningful answer.

For business fashion, red is an overly energetic color. If you still want to use it in your business look, limit yourself to one red wardrobe item (skirt, blouse, jacket, accessory). But at parties and holidays, red clothing is always appropriate, because it gives strength and invigorates.
In red clothes you will always be the center of attention. In addition, this is a good way to combat depression and bad mood. If you cannot decide to take an important action, wear red clothes, it encourages us to take active action. But if you decide to have a heart-to-heart talk with someone and win the other person over, red is not the best option, because it is a dominant and overwhelming color.
Red color suits almost all women, but it is important to choose the right shade. So, for women of the spring color type, it is better to choose orange-red, yellowish-red, coral-red, fiery red, brick, and tomato shades. For women of the summer color type, crimson, dark wine, and scarlet colors are suitable. “Autumn” can safely choose red-brown and garnet colors, but “winter” can choose a fresh wine-red color.
