Color up your Wardrobe with Paisley!

The colours we choose to surround ourselves affect us more than we think. They have meanings beyond simple visual stimulation. Some studies even suggest that we feel colors more than we see them..!

Think of the way we describe certain emotions (seeing red, feeling blue, green with envy), there’s no denying that every color and mood are inextricably linked. Channel some of the power of colour into your outfits and see what happens.

Here’s a quick rundown of all the most popular colours, what they signify and how you can use them in your outfits.

Seeing Red!

Red exudes power, energy, excitement and passion. This colour of love always gets you noticed. Wear red when you want to be assertive or need an energy boost as it is very effective as an accessory to project energy. Avoid red when you feel nervous, want to elude attention.

Pink – Simplicity dipped in romance!

Of course we all know pink as the true girly-girl’s favorite color, but it’s also associated with romance and happiness.

The color green is closely linked to the environment, which can put you in a relaxed or refreshed mood. It looks good on every skin type and has a wide range of shades that allow you to modify your mood from serious and sophisticated to fresh and bright.

Yellow carries both positive and negative connotations. Wearing sunny shades of yellow are the perfect thing to cheer you up on a bad day, so if you’re feeling down, wearing yellow could help perk you back up. It is also associated with intelligence and inspiration, so wearing something yellow on the day of your big final exam might help you come up with some extra answers.

A Calming Case of the Blues!

Need to chill out after a stressful day? Slip on something blue. It makes a great a first impression and creates relaxation. It is associated with strength and dependability hence, the blue power suits because it projects that image of dependability and trustworthiness!

The colour for serenity – White!

Wearing white reflects light and reminds us of sunnier days. It’s also associated with peace, innocence, simplicity, and cleanliness. Wear white when you want to bring out any other colors you’re wearing – it enlivens anything you pair with it.

Trendy Collared Kurtas for the Festive Season

If you’re looking to get the trendiest festive attire for Diwali, then make sure you have collared kurtas in your wardrobe. Your kurta neckline can totally make or break your look. We like the collared neckline pattern as it is modest, and can be sexy at the same time. We spotted a lot of Bollywood actresses recently in pretty kurtas with collared necklines. Take a look at how you can design your own collared kurta like your favorite celebrities.

Sonakshi Sinha:

Sonakshi was spotted in an embroidered kurta with a Mandarin collar. Her kurta has buttons in front and the sleeves have a similar design as the neckline.

Sonam Kapoor:

Sonam’s beige and red kurta doesn’t have a prominent collar but a stiff neckline with embellishment on it. A little adornment on the neckline and sleeves can glam up a simple kurta.

Anushka Sharma:

Anushka wore a gorgeous all-white kurta, which has an open collar with a V-shaped neck. This neck pattern is really popular this season and can be worn with or without the dupatta.

Kajol:

Kajol looked stunning in a white kurta which has a very cultural local Indian/Pakistani neck pattern. The black panelled neckline and sleeves look great. You can add some gold work on the panel in keeping with the festive season.

Dia Mirza:

Dia chose a striking beige outfit which has an open collar in a V-neck shape. Her outfit is very festive and has intricate embroidery on the neckline and bust. She paired her outfit with an embroidered dupatta.

Priyanka Chopra:

Like we said, Mandarin collars are quite a hit this season. Priyanka wore a heavily embroidered kurta with this collar recently.

Sameera Reddy:

Sameera sizzled in this festive outfit. Her kurta had a collar made of maroon velvet which looks regal.

Sonali Bendre:

Sonali picked this suit for an event recently. Her kurta has a Mandarin collar and a plunging neckline. Avoid wearing any neckpieces with this kind of neck pattern. A dupatta is a must to add a bit of modesty to the outfit.
