STYLE JOURNAL 17


warm

cool

red

green

Red is best as an accent because of its high energy. It can be classy, minimal, drastic, dangerous, and glamorous.

Green almost always signifies growth, calm, and renewal. Green is balancing because it still is energetic, like yellow.

orange

blue

Orange is often an energetic color of fall, with beautiful muted shades. It can symbolize energy with friendliness.

Blue is traditional, trustworthy, and the coolest of all the cool colors. Blue can vary greatly depending on its undertones.

yellow

purple

This is the brightest of the warm colors, full of life and cheerfulness. However, it can feel blinding if it is overdone.

Besides the obvious connection to royalty, purple can vary from romantic shades to a more traditional tone.

selected neutrals

black

white

Black has two sides: powerful elegance and dark mystery. When used appropriately it is one of the most universally flattering colors.

White is a very pure color, but can also seem devoid of feeling. It works well paired intentionally with accent colors.

COLOR DEFINITIONS Hues

The actual color and color underneath — some blues have green hues, yellows have red hues, etc.

Value

The lightness or darkness of a color.

Chroma

The intensity of a color / saturation

Tint

hue + white

Shade

hue + black

combining colors

analygous

complementary

monochromatic

When you look at the color wheel, these are colors near each other, such as red and orange, green and blue, or yellow and green. These colors are naturally gentle and are a safe bet to match no matter when.

These colors are directly opposite of each other on the color wheel. They are often associated with high energy & contrast, because they almost vibrate when directly next to each other.

These are (as the name suggests with “chroma” in it) colors with the same hue but different amounts of saturation/intensity. These ALWAYS match well!

TIP #1

STYLE JOURNAL 25


TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND introduction This is just a general overview of style rules that can be applied to anyone. So many “fashion rules” exist that it can easily be very overwhelming to try to dress at all. Fashion rules should never be so restrictive that they completely discourage creative, out-of-thebox experimentation and any kind of selfexpression. They are only there to accentuate and give direction to best communicate without distraction. One thing always remains: the best thing anyone can wear is confidence, a smile, and a friendly demeanor.

That can cover over anything anyone will say is a “fashion sin,” and yet no perfect outfit can erase memories of someone who’s not comfortable in their own skin. That is why rule #1 is to dress for yourself. Everything you wear is a way to show off what you love, how you think about the world, and what makes you unique. If it becomes a comparison game, all the joy of discovering your own humanity and communicating with others fades away.

a few “rules” to remember

• Find your underlying skin tone • Match cool tones with cool skin • Match warm tones with earthy colors • Wear flattering clothing • Choose clothing that’s not too tight or too loose • Pair patterns with solid colors

• Avoid wearing overly similar colors together, like navy and black • Limit each outfit to just 1-2 standout colors • Choose timeless over trendy pieces. • Always dress up if you’re in doubt! • Simplicity wins above all and can add elegance to anything.
