Cloudy Day, Dark Colors?

When the weather is cloudy or rainy do you tend to gravitate toward darker clothing or brighter colors? I have a tendency to reach for darker colors. I have a bright color dress I planned on wearing this evening, yet so far it is cloudy and I'm rethinking my outfit. Maybe the brighter color dress would brighten the day. Overthinking I know.

I tend to just stay in my p.j.'s or loungers and most of those are light colored.

@Biftu If the bright color dress makes you feel good on a dreary day, wear that! I think a nice cheerful color brightens up a gray day.

I wear what I want when I want. In summer I dress in summer clothes and in winter winter clothes. Other than that I dont let weather predict what I want to wear.

That's a good question.... I have found myself doing the very same thing, somewhat coordinating with the weather. I didn't give it much thought before!

If I'm going out, I do reach for darker colors. I never thought. But bright, summer colors don't work when it's gray or stormy outside.

I wear DARK all the time. It makes me look taller.

ALWAYS dark colors on rainy days for me. Bright or white makes me feel like I stick out like a sore thumb.

I dress seasonally. That's also the reason I don't wear white after Labor Day. White sticks out against nature's fall colors and I feel out of place with the world.

Sunny summer? Brights and whites for sure! Absolutely love them in the happy summer days.

Darker colors all the time regardless of season. I am more comfortable in darker colors. I have no idea why. When my son was younger I had him convinced our uncle was Johnny Cash.
