Undercover FW2010
The color black plays a prominent role in my wardrobe. Sometimes it acts an anchor when I incorporate other colors, but for the most part, it usually stands alone. But, with that being said, I’m not pigeon held to it as others might be or think I might be. I enjoy wearing white and all kinds of grays, not much of a stretch I know, but I like to stay in a neutral zone. Lately, I’ve been gravitating towards earthy and neutral hues: taupe, camel, mauve, bone, et al. These are colors that are not too much of a departure from what I normally wear, but different enough to feel fresh, like a bit of a revitalization. Black is always safe and also alluring, but can be very one note when worn everyday.
The earthy colors can easily compliment and accent other colors effortlessly (and vice versa) in the same manner that black does. They give off a relaxed effect but can still maintain an expensive, chic look. I like that balance. Not saying I will abandon ship and stop wearing black; that’s kind of impossible for me and I’m assuming for most people who live in cosmopolitan cities. I am just expanding my color palette a bit with colors that will compliment my aesthetic, my skin tone and what I already have in my closet.
