Here’s what the colour of your outfit says about you
Is your wardrobe full of black clothes? Do you always end up wearing the same red dress to parties? These choices may seem random but in fact reveal a lot about your personality because, as we’ve been learning from colour psychologists, the shade of your outfit says more than you think. If you particularly love a certain hue, it seems there’s a reason.
Read on to see what your colour choice says about you, according to the experts…

Blue is typically a cold colour, and psychologists warn that wearing blue can convey an icy personality. But it’s not all frosty – this is accompanied by a sense of authority, reliability, control, as well as a strong sense of composure. In short: wear blue at your next important meeting if you want to make a good impression.

Wearing pink, the experts tell us, is a sign of a persons deep need to express themselves. And what does pink express? Apparently: shyness, intelligence and romance. On the contrary, if you love to wear the brightest shades of pink, this communicates a fiery personality and a sense of independence.

Yellow is universally recognised as the colour of joy and happiness – but that’s not necessarily true when you’re wearing it. According to psychologist of colour Angela Wright, dressing in yellow can provoke a feeling of anxiety and insecurity, particularly in the daytime. Play it safe and wear yellow only when you’re feeling super happy and content.

Red communicates strength: passionate, energetic, sometimes aggressive, but also unquestionably sexy. Psychologists at the University of Rochester have discovered that those who wear bright red appear more attractive to potential partners.

Black is perceived by others as an indicator of prestige, power, seriousness and intelligence. Outside the workplace, colour psychologists tell us that dressing in black communicates the desire to hide one’s personality. Maybe think twice before dressing in head-to-toe black if you don’t want to appear unsure of yourself.

Dressing in white is particularly risky – not just because you’re more likely to spill coffee down yourself. Usually those who love to wear white are optimistic, reliable, clean and honest, but its neutrality creates confusion in onlookers, who may think you’re lacking in emotion.
