Welcome to The Style Guide. Are you stuck in a cycle of wearing only black? As your Empathetic Stylist, blog bella encourages you to break the rules. We explore the emotional power of this season's London palette—from the sophistication of Emerald Green to the authority of Royal Blue. Discover how wearing rich, vibrant colours can boost your mood and celebrate your presence.
Welcome back to The Style Guide. Today, we are painting the town—literally.
For too long, plus-size fashion advice has whispered a single, monotonous rule: "Wear black. It’s safer." While we adore the chic timelessness of black, as your Empathetic Stylist, we believe that relying on it out of fear rather than choice is a missed opportunity.
Colour is not just a visual choice; it is an emotional one. It has the power to shift your mood, command attention, and radiate confidence.
This season, the London palette is particularly sophisticated. We aren't talking about jarring neons, but rather rich, deep, jewel tones that echo the city’s heritage and parks. Here is how to harness the power of these colours.
1. The Power of Emerald Green
Think of the lushness of Kensington Gardens. Emerald green is universally complimentary. It brings a sense of freshness and balance. Wearing a fluid emerald dress signals sophistication and calm confidence. It says, "I am grounded and elegant."
2. The Authority of Royal Blue
There is a reason this colour is associated with royalty. Royal blue is vibrant, electric, and commanding. Unlike black, which can sometimes feel sombre, royal blue brings energy to your face. It is the perfect choice for a "Power Dressing" day when you want to feel assertive yet approachable.
3. The Warmth of Deep Berry
Rich burgundies and berry tones are the ultimate mood boosters. They bring warmth to the complexion and feel incredibly luxurious. A berry-toned blouse or knit adds a touch of romance and passion to your everyday look, making you feel instantly "dressed up."
4. How to Wear It: The Monochrome Trick
If you are nervous about colour, try wearing it head-to-toe (monochromatic). Wearing a single shade of navy, teal, or plum creates a long, unbroken vertical line that is incredibly elegant and sophisticated. It’s a stylist’s secret for looking taller and more put-together instantly.
Don't fade into the background. Step into the light. You deserve to be seen in full colour.
