It’s a known fact that different colours help induce other emotions. So a shockingly simple way to determine your mood for the day is to select your outfits in colours that help enhance that particular mood and feeling. Who knew picking your mood for the day was as simple as selecting your shirt for the day!

• Woke up on the wrong side of the bed? Opt for a yellow outfit. The vibrancy of the colour is sure to uplift your mood and give your day a positive, happy vibe.
• Have a busy schedule for the day and need to stay calm and relaxed? Wear something in the colour green. Known for its association with nature and the outdoors, green helps you stay comfortable and feel a sense of calmness.
• For a day that needs you to be energized and on the go, try on something orange. The outfit will pump you with positive energy all day long. Need an extra burst of energy and want to demand attention for the day, pick a red outfit instead.
• Want to spend the day in a calm, creative mood? Reach out for something blue! It will help soothe your nerves as it reminds you of a day at the beach and helps bring out your creative side.
• To feel pampered and luxurious, we suggest wearing purple. The colour makes you emit royalty vibes while infusing your day with calm energy.
• And of course our all-time favourite colour, white! Opt for a white outfit if you want to highlight a particular accessory or if you simply want to remember the innocence of your childhood summer holidays.

While specific colours can influence how we feel and act, most of the outcome depends on our personal preferences, memories and cultural values associated with the colour.
