The Colour Theory For Fashion Explained – WedAmor
Whether you need to dress up for a date or for your best friend’s wedding, keeping certain things in mind before deciding on an outfit is crucial. One of the most important things to keep in mind are the colours and their combinations. This can make or break an outfit, for real. So let me guide you down with the colour theory for fashion, the lane of colours and their impact on fashion.
Colour Theory For fashion
1) Yellow
This cheerful and attention-grabbing colour is considered to be an optimistic hue. When wearing this colour, keep in mind that this colour can be more overpowering for people to take in. It’s best to wear one yellow item or leave it to the accessories. The rest of your outfit should be a neutral colour. None of us wants to look like clowns when we step into the next board meeting.
2) Pink
Of course, the girliest (is that a word?) colour ever. According to surveys in Europe and the United States, pink is the colour most often associated with charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity, and the romantic. When combined with white, it is associated with innocence. When combined with violet or black, it is associated with eroticism and seduction. You know what to wear on that big date now, don’t ya?

3) Red
The autumn colour. This colour is very vibrant. Red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. An epitome of love, red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Women who wear red are considered to be more appealing and confident, suggests recent studies. One of the colours which can never go out of style, I guess?
4) Brown
One of the nude shades, but oh lord thank you for brown! Talking of classy, how can we forget about brown? Talk about shoes, bags, jackets, Brown makes the whole outfit fall into place, according to me at least. It’s said to be your ideal autumn colour but hey, it’s worth wearing all seasons long.
5) Nude Colours
Yes, all of them. From staggeringly beautiful nude lipstick shades cracking up their way in style to Kylie Jenner outfit secrets, nude colours help you in rocking literally every event in the classiest way possible. You can definitely never go wrong in making a class impression in them.
6) Purple
It is the color of royalty. Style mavens who wear this color, give an air of luxury, sophistication and wealth. Purple also help its wearers send the message of femininity and romance.

7) Blue
Ah, the colour of peacefulness and tranquillity. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty.
8) Black
It’s the colour of power and authority and no doubt why it’s so popular in fashion. With its stylish and timeless touch, it makes the wearer appear thinner. It’s the one thing which can’t make its way out of the trends.
9) White
White is popular and will ever remain so because of its light, neutral and subtle properties and also because it goes with almost everything. You need to own pieces of white and black pair of clothing just in case of fashion emergencies and when it’s hard to decide what to wear.

Stunning Wedding Necklace Ideas For This Wedding Season
Weddings are the best part of a bride’s life. She wants to look her very best on this very special day. Therefore to help her achieve this, we have come up with these new and trending wedding necklace ideas, to help her choose the best one for this special day of her life.
All Time Favourite Diamond Wedding Necklace
Have you ever wondered, how much women love diamonds? So we recommend that this wedding season you experiment with the very favourite diamond jewellery and necklaces. Diamond wedding necklaces are absolutely stunning, pretty and elegant. Take a necklace that suits your wedding dress and then contrasts it with different coloured bangles and rings. We also recommend that you use other gems in combination with the diamond for your neckpiece, like this bride below. The combination of ruby, emerald do wonders when paired with diamonds. Complete the look with smoky eyes and dark eyeliner for better results.

The Princess-like Royal Wedding Necklace
The second pick for this season is the princess-like royal wedding neckpieces. Now it is important to note that these pieces could be either in layers or single or could be heavily ornamented or just with one or two big stones. This category is vast enough to engulf almost all the neckpieces which give you the desired princess-like look. We usually find this trending in areas in and around Rajasthan. These pieces look absolutely stunning and give you that extra touch of glam and glitter. A rather darker eyeshadow and a softer makeup or nude makeup look bring out the best results for this look.

The Heavily Studded Wedding Necklace
Now most of us get confused with the princess-like category and this one. Both look pretty similar but have this slight difference. The latter one is narrower than the former category. In this sense, we mean that the heavily studded necklaces are usually thicker and usually in a single layer. The stones are much bigger and heavier. These were predominantly adorned by the royalties and queens. They are the perfect blend of antiquity, elegance and royalty.
We highly recommend this look with a variety of colour combinations such as this bride. Experiment with the eyeliners, the eyeshadows and apply thicker quotes of eyeliner. Cat eye’s look wonderful with thicker jewellery frames.

Slender Wedding Necklace With Broader Accessories
What we mean by this category is that keep the wedding necklace rather slender as compared to your other accessories. It’s all about experimentation under this category among our wedding necklace ideas. Make sure you use the right kind of makeup while wearing this necklace. Smoky eyes, thick eyeliner usually pops out your eyes and make them look a lot bigger, therefore it would look great with the necklace, and give you that extra spark of glam. We also recommend you to experiment with broader ear pieces, jhumka’s and bali’s, big decorated fancy bangles and maang tikka’s. Also, a big bindi would look great with this majestic look.

How to Select Best Jewellery Match-Ups For Different Face Types
Since times immemorial, jewellery formed an integral part of an Indian woman’s attire. It is indeed, a predominant feature of our culture. With changing times, jewellery has come to be identified with an individual’s personality. The past few years have also seen a rise in the making of contemporary designs and styles of jewellery, specifically to meet different face types and facial features. Jewellery match-ups for different face types are, therefore, an important aspect to be considered while making a purchase or attending a function or for day-to-day wear.
Jewellery Match-Ups for Different Face Types
Knowing your face type is essential while choosing jewellery. The perfect piece of jewellery should not only highlight your attractive features but also make any oddness seem less significant. But how can one know what kind of jewellery best suits a particular face type? Our guide on jewellery match-ups for different face types helps you decide how. Keep reading to find out more!
1) Heart-shaped Face
The heart-shaped face, also referred to as the inverted triangular face, can be identified by a broad, curved forehead and a narrow, sharp chin. If you are a one with that sort of face shape, the jewellery you pick must balance these features. Chokers, collar necklaces, or any other style of close-to-the-neck lengths are the ideal kind of neck pieces. Since the chin needs to be portrayed as wide, horizontal lines of earrings are preferable. Any dangling, face-filling earrings which are wider at the chin level are the perfect fit for those with heart-shaped face.
2) Oval-shaped Face
Oval-shaped face is considered by most, as the ‘perfect’ face shape. It literally complements any style of jewellery. Oval face can be identified as one which is usually curved, with an equal width at the forehead and chin. One with such a face shape can pull off any neck piece. However, with earrings, one needs to avoid long-length earrings as they can make your face look even longer than it actually is.
3) Rectangular Face
The rectangular face or oblong face, is one which has an equal width at the forehead, centre and the chin, but is quite stretched in length. Any jewellery worn must camouflage the length and make the face to appear wider than it is. Stud earrings or any wide style of earrings such as chandelier earrings must be preferred. For necklaces, chokers, collar necklaces and any short length necklaces which can reduce the length of the face are perfect.
4) Round-shaped Face
In contrast to the rectangular face, jewellery for round-shaped face must create an illusion of length to camouflage the soft, curved and wide appearance of the face. Therefore, vertical, narrow, dangling style of earrings are the ideal kind. Longer, lengthy necklaces which are not close to the neck and which create a “V” shape suit a round-shaped face and help in countering the curvy face shape.
5) Square-shaped Face
A square-shaped face has sharp angles and has an equal width throughout. The aim is to soften the edges and lengthen the face. Necklaces with curves and length are therefore, the obvious picks. When it comes to earrings, hoops, long, narrow chandelier earrings are to be preferred. Studs are a big no.

6) Triangular Face
This face shape is in contrast to the heart-shaped face. With a narrow forehead and a wide jawline/chin, the styles of jewellery one picks must balance this. Bold studs with long, narrow dangling earrings, ear cuffs or any style of earrings which add width at the level of cheekbones are preferable. To divert the attention from the jawline, gentle curvy necklaces are ideal.
7) Diamond-shaped Face
Diamond face is just an angular version of the oval face. It is slightly more dramatic than the oval-shaped face. So, just like the oval face, any kind of jewellery complements the face shape. But, curve designs should be preferred to soften the angles. Also, to camouflage the length, overly long earrings should be avoided.
Jewellery is not just a beauty addition but also an accessory which defines one’s personality. Therefore, it’s time to accessorize right by choosing the suitable one from the above-mentioned jewellery match-ups for different face types.
