Incorporating color into your wardrobe is a form of Self-Expression. Color is one of those nonverbal communications that can convey your personality and how you want to be perceived by others. The right color does more than match your skin; it lifts your mood and energy.
The One Third Rule
A good rule of thumb is to keep bold colors to about one-third of your outfit. This might mean wearing a bold, colored top with neutral bottoms, or vice versa. This rule is often used in interior design, suggesting that for visual appeal and balance, you should divide your outfit into three sections, based on proportion. The main color that the outfit is centered around; the dominant color should be 60% of your outfit, then the secondary color, which is the complementary color, should be about 30% of your outfit. Lastly, the accent color is only about 10% of your outfit.
The Influence of Color
Colors can also influence how others perceive you and provide a powerful tool for self-identification. Incorporating color into your wardrobe can help create your own "Signature" look.
