I like wearing pops of color during the summer...navy blue with rosy corals or bright green, deep pinks with white skinny jeans. I love my neutrals too so will wear a lot of creams and khaki with white (accessorized with gold or silver).


@LuvSoCal 

I'm sure you look great in your outfits! I think bright colors and navy look sharp with white jeans or pants. Sometimes I get tired of wearing black or navy with white, and I wear a brighter color top instead. It can be fun & lift my spirits. ☀️

 

All neutral outfits are so chic! I bet you look fabulous in those! I need to try that once in awhile. I seem to always reach for a colorful print with my lighter color pants instead of doing tone on tone neutrals. 

 

Have a Wonderful Day!

In the warm weather, I go with a light color story.  Ivory, cream, khakis, tan.  With white tops. If I wear jeans, it's very light bleached jeans.  I don't do brights but I do have a couple red tee shirts in the mix.   I wear mostly jeans and black leggings with boots the rest of the year and I wear button up shirts/sweaters/sweatshirts in a variety of deep colors.  I wear white tees under all my tops when it's cold.


@chrystaltree 

I think your light color story with neutrals sounds very chic! I'm sure you look fabulous! 

I only own one pair of lighter wash jeans. I wear more medium and dark washes.

 

Like you, I wear white tees for layering when it's cold, and I have some deeper color tees and sweaters for colder weather. I love red any time of year! 

Have a Wonderful Day!

@wilma I'm with you. I like the same colors you do. My sister usually always wears pink or pastels of sort. For some reason, pastels don't look good on me. I seem to disappear in light pinks and baby blues. 


@Effie54 

Sounds like we're twins. 😉 Not only do we wear similar colors, but we each have a sister who prefers pastels. I'm sure you look lovely in the colors you choose for your outfits! 

 

Have a Wonderful Day! 


@wilma I think we are twins! Thank you and I'm sure you look amazing in your outfits! Wear them well! 💖

Me either!  I own nothing white ... a couple pieces in ivory or bone, but not white.  LOL  Woman LOL


@Tinkrbl44 

I own a few white tees, tank tops, and camisoles for layering, but I rarely wear a solid white top by itself. I do own and wear cream and ivory tops, blouses, and sweaters.

I can't remember where, but years ago some beauty editor caused a real ruckus when she said wearing white (as opposed to ivory) often made your teeth look yellow.  Horrors!    

 

That day I took everything white in my closet, held it up to a mirror and smiled.  She was right, and I donated the whites.  Ivory is better for a lot of complexions ... and teeth.

I like bright colors--not neon--but I always wear jeans of some color on the bottom---but have many, many tank tops in many colors and patterns-- then throw a long sleeved white or other neutral blouse over top as a light weight jacket---will NOT show my flabby arms--ever-- and also am completely flat chested so it kind of camoflages that too. Will save the darker colors for later in the year.


@wagirl 

Wearing a tank top under a long sleeved blouse is such a nice look. Sounds like you have lots of possible outfit combinations. I'm sure you look great in all of them!

 

I always layer a cardigan, jacket, or blazer over my tank tops. I'm not a neon color person either. 

Have a Wonderful Day!

I still wear black in the summer. A favorite would be a black scoop neck (ballet neck) Pima cotton tee shirt with a pair of white capris. Black accessories. 

 

I do wear a lot of peachy pink coral, sea blue and icy pink in the summer. I use cream colored accessories with those shades. 💐


@Trinity11 

I love your black and white outfit description! I know you look very chic in it! 

I wear black in the summer too. I like to wear my light weight black pants or my white jeans with black printed tops. 

Cream colored accessories with your peaches, pinks, and blues sounds very lovely. 

Have a Wonderful Day!

I like lots of different colors but I tend towards navy, red, white the most. Then I intersperse brighter colors like coral, turquoise and yellow.

 

Always fun to look things over during the change of seasons.

 

have fun everyone.


@GinaV24 

I know you look lovely in all your colors!

 

You mentioned my favorite summer color combination.

I love navy, white, and red too! 

Coral, turquoise, and yellow are beautiful colors this time of year. I have a yellow and white stripe top I like to wear with a white jean jacket and blue jeans. 

 

Have a Wonderful Day!

I love color, no matter the season. I'm fair and once wore a lot of pastels. As I've aged I still wear light colors but not the palest shades. I like light to medium pinks, blues and greens. 

 

I've learned that I look best in low contrast outfits. This was a revelation, and i wish I'd figured it out decades ago lol. 


@peachesncream 

You make some excellent points.

 

Sometimes as we age we might need different colors or hues due to changes in our skin and hair. Sounds like you've figured out what looks best on you. I'm sure you look wonderful in your colors and outfits! 

I've read a bit and watched a couple videos on matching your low, medium, or high contrast coloring with outfits that have the same contrast. Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to look into that more. 

Have a Wonderful Day!
