In the cold season, I especially want to dilute my wardrobe with some original little thing of unusual color. Some girls add peppercorns to their wardrobe to keep warm. But the most stylish and original ones prefer to add "mustard" in the form of a dress made of dense mustard-colored fabric. Why do they make such a choice and why is such a rather complex color popular in the summer?
Features
Mustard refers to warm colors, warms the eye, activates the physiological processes of the body with its acuity and subconscious associations. It is wonderfully combined with autumn foliage, "falling asleep" nature and solar warming glow.
At the level of intuition, even without being professional stylists, we feel that, for example, a pattern with palm trees will be completely inappropriate in the autumn-winter period. But the coat or dress mustard shade - just right.
Who is it for?
Blondes are more suitable muted shades of mustard. If your facial skin is especially pale, it is better if the shades of your mustard dress are calm.
Other shades are perfect for girls with tanned skin.
A brunette woman of the “winter” color type can choose a dress in contrasting shades or complex color combinations, the ranks of which will include a bright mustard tone.
Brown-haired women use mustard color in their image very often, and rightly so: the color is not simple and attracts attention.
A dress of mustard color is suitable for almost all red-haired women, but you need to be careful when choosing a shade. The best choice would be a mustard yellow tint, where the proportion of mustard is not so great.
A bright expressive image will create a dress with a variety of colors. On the main mustard it can be color accents - a black fringe or a golden collar. Another suitable option is interesting patterns or prints of a logically suitable color.
Mustard-colored dresses are also popular among bridesmaids to create their same look.
With lace elements
Mustard in itself is a rather complex color. In order to make it more suitable for everyone, designers often resort to certain color tricks: they dilute the mustard dress with contrasting decorative elements.
So, a dress of this shade may have a lace white collar, which came into fashion a couple of years ago and to this day remains relevant. A white lace collar can transform any thing. If it is removable and embroidered with large beads, it will give the mustard dress an elegant festive look, at those moments when you need it.
Sleeves and lining on pockets can also be lacy, which will also add uniqueness to your image. Shades of lace can contrast with the basic tone of the dress or, conversely, complement it. In the first case, you get the image of a bright, spectacular woman, in the second - the image of an elegant socialite.
A mustard dress can be lace, which looks especially non-standard. Lace lends femininity to an image.
What colors does mustard match with?
With sand, beige and brown
The simplest and at the same time calm combination of mustard color happens with colors that are adjacent in shades, namely, sand, beige, shades of brown.
Often in designer collections you can find dresses with a repeating geometric pattern of these listed options. The geometrically repeating pattern gives the mustard dress energy and incredible dynamism. This option is intended for energetic, open women who find it difficult to sit still.
The basic rule when combining adjacent colors: muted shades combine with muted, bright with bright. In general, if mustard has a rich shade, then brown should not lag behind it. A combination of mustard and chocolate flowers may also look interesting. This option will look especially advantageous on brunettes with brown or green eyes.
With blue or sea wave
Another option is a contrasting combination with blue (ultramarine), or the color of the "sea wave".
A contrasting combination on the one hand balances the opposite color, on the other hand makes the image more catchy, adding sharpness.
With black / white
An option that is simply impossible to make a mistake with is a combination of mustard with black or white, as well as their joint trio.
Black or white can be individual auxiliary wardrobe items, for example, a jacket or cardigan, accessories in the form of jewelry, a leather strap and other auxiliary accessories, as well as decorative elements on the dress itself or original prints of these monochrome colors. Even the simplest at first glance print - a classic black or white pea - looks very unusual on a mustard dress.
The most winning pattern is the Scottish cage - it is one of the noblest fabric prints and is especially popular among high-fashioned fashionistas. The Scottish cage always adds exclusivity and "high cost".
What color tights are suitable?
As for tights, the most suitable for the autumn-winter period will be opaque tight black tights. This color gets along well with any other.For warmer weather, flesh-colored pantyhose, barely noticeable on female legs, will be more suitable.
Accessories & Jewelry
Warm colors always combine favorably with gold jewelry. Successfully in harmony with mustard and bronze ebbs of massive expensive accessories.
If you prefer plastic jewelry to precious metals, then choose the appropriate shade. It should highlight the color of your skin. Choose one of the proposed options: brown, beige, blue, white, black, chocolate, green, plum.
Shoes
In summer, sandals with safari-style straps will be most suitable. They always have some noble shade of light brown color. A more colorful version is beige shoes with animal print or black peas.
For a dress that combines several color accents, picking up shoes is easy. Choose a tone-on-tone one of the shades on the dress, preferably not the main one.
If it is difficult for you to decide whether or not it is possible to choose the right option for each dress, then black classic boats will always come to your aid. In winter, it can be plain mustard or dark green boots in combination with dense black tights.
Makeup
When creating a casual look, keep your makeup in natural shades. For the spring and autumn color types, it’s enough to emphasize the natural beauty by adding a drop of beige gloss to the lips and light brown eye shadow. Other color types can pick up a palette of cold shades with smoky bloom.
If this is your secular exit to any important event, then cherry or even red lipstick will be more than ever useful. It goes well with fair skin and a mustard shade of the dress. Smokey Ice makeup is best avoided.
Manicure
Neutral manicure is appropriate with any way. The most expensive looking is still the classic jacket. If you paint your nails yourself, then choose a natural skin color. For special occasions - a golden color coating, and a pair of shiny rhinestones will add festivity.
Tips
Do not be afraid of combining complex colors in your wardrobe. After all, they make our image unique and fashionable. There is one rule with mustard color - it always dominates the ensemble. Whatever mustard dress you choose, do not forget that the key to a successful look is always a friendly smile and good mood!
A friend recommended taking a closer look at mustard dresses, but I still won’t like them. I think we need bright enough makeup to make the image bright and contrast enough.
