It is important to carefully consider what color pink is combined with in clothes, so that the whole image looks stylish and not too frivolous. The use of any of the shades of pink can add tenderness, charm and lightness to the look.
The meaning of pink in clothes and its psychological perception by others
Pink is considered one of the gender shades. There is an opinion that the use of this color in clothes is permissible only for the fair sex, and exclusively for young women. Pink ribbons on the envelopes of girls in the hospital, pink dresses and bows, strollers, toys and other all sorts of little things remind of this again and again.
The color pink is associated with youth, carelessness and frivolity. Moreover, many believe that this color is not suitable even for all girls, but only for fair-skinned blondes.
However, this opinion is still wrong. Every year, fashion stylists are increasingly using shades of pink in clothes for men. It is not as aggressive as, for example, red and allows you to add softness and elegance to the image.
And properly selected clothes and additional pink details for a mature lady can visually make her much younger and more feminine.
Who is pink for the color type of appearance?
In order to more correctly choose clothes and its color scheme, there is a gradation of people by color type. The most famous is the "theory of the seasons", according to which the color type is determined by the seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter).
The most suitable shades of pink by color type of appearance:
- Spring. For women of this type, gentle warm tones are suitable. For example, salmon, flaming or coral. The bright pink color as well as its cool shades should be avoided. They will make the skin look even more pale.
- Summer. Representatives of this type will look great in clothes of cold shades of color. For example, dusty pink. However, they should not give up on the warm bright tones of pink.
- Fall. For ladies of this color type, it is preferable to choose clothes in soft warm tones of salmon or flamingos. Bright and cold shades of pink should be avoided.
- Winter. Owners of this type are perfect for dark pink tones. For example, raspberry or ruby. Fuchsia or magenta clothing will accentuate dark eyes and hair. It is recommended to avoid pale warm shades of pink.
However, this division is still rather arbitrary. Sometimes it is very problematic to determine one specific color type. Intermediate mixed options are often encountered.Therefore, when choosing a wardrobe color, you should not rely only on this theory.
