Feeling troubled over what color to wear? What color makes you
look good? Well, fashion is all about yourself. What you choose
to wear every morning tells a lot about you and how you felt
that day. Even your little handbag carries a little story.
Mixing and matching is a personal choice, you create your very
own style!
Well, let’s get to understand and have fun with colors
White A popular color in Fashion. Light and neutral, it goes
well with any color.
Considered a summer color, a good choice for tops. Always have
some in your wardrobe. It readily matches bottoms of any color;
a pair of blue denim jeans, Khakis pants, a gray skirt, a bright
colorful beach bermudas? You name it!
Associated with cleanliness and purity, innocence and
gentleness…, it gives you a feeling of freedom and uncluttered
openness. Women just always look that lovely in their snowy
white wedding gown, don’t they?
Tips: add a little touch of white to brighten or lighten up your
mood Eg. a white tank top with blue denim jean, white cotton
jacket over a hot pink velour smocked baby doll dress or a
simply all white for a simple breezy look
Black A popular color in Fashion, always stylish and never
out of trend
A good choice for bottoms. Directly opposite of white, it
readily matches tops of any colors. Nonetheless, it is also a
popular choice for tops, making the wearer appearing slimmer. A
great complementary color for accessories like a pink sparkling
evening bag, a diamond necklace…
A mysterious color, it gives you a feeling of perspective and
depth. Symbolizing elegance and refinement, it is always
regarded as a prestigious color.

mature look Eg. a brown wool button front cardigan with black
pinstripe bootcut pants, gray tweed cropped blazer with black
stretch pintuck pencil skirt

ambition, love & passion.

various moods Eg. a red retro style tee with maroon pleated
skirt, hot pink cotton v-neck tank with red fleece collegiate
mini skirt Yellow A color commonly use in Casual Fashion.

suggests a more fun and sunshine mood. The wearer tends to bring
about amusing cheeriness to the group. Usually liked by those

Blue A popular color liked by most

soothing & relaxing feel, pleasant to the eyes. Naturally
refreshing in mood, it’s a good choice for daytime wear.

everlasting affection & tender love Tips: add a little pink to
bring out the feminine touch Eg matching your black satin
strapless sash dress with a pink crocodile clutch, pink collar
tee with black stretched cotton cropped pants
Well, there are simply too many colors if I were to go on. I
believe you should now have a feel of how matching of colors can
be of so much fun? In simple, just play by the color rules:
1. Stick to one color (all white, blue, red…)
2. Hot goes with cool (match yellow with green or blue not with
red “it might be too hot!”)
3. Use neutral colors to draw the looks together (white, gray,
beige and black are good neutral colors)
4. Play around with color of the same family (pink with maroon,
sky blue with navy blue…)
Remember, you create your very own style. Have fun!
