to update wardrobe

WE LOOK at colors every day
and never realize their powers
over us.

Color is the most important and
the most neglected element of
fashion, and with a litte knowl-
edge you can use if to vour ad-
vantage, Here are some tips on
how to make color work for you
this season.

instant update: The best way to
update your wardrobe is with col-
or. You don’t need a whole new
closet full of clothes — just a few
well-chosen pieces in the right
colors will take you a long way.

Any basic black dress or pants
can be instantly updated with a
bright jacket or belt. And if you
don’t have any basic black, it’s
the wisest fashion investment you
can make,

What's that you say? You
prefer something more
understated? Then try the new
plaids, tweeds, paisleys and tick
weaves in familiar tones of navy,
red, khaki, black and camel.

Communicating with color:
Whether we are aware of it or
not, we use color every day to ex-
press how we think and feel.

“The woman whe wears a aay
blue suit to work choases to do so
not just) because she thinks it
looks nice, bet because blue
communicates trust and security.
That's why hospitals and banks
almost always use blue as their
corporate color,’ explains Karen
Quinn, director of marketing ser-
vices for Liz Claiborne Cosmetics.

“And tcenagers often choose
fuchsia for accessories and party
dresses, because it is an energetic
color that suggests south and
vitality."*

Red is universally understood as
the color of choice for getting
people’s attention. We immediate-
ly conjure up a different picture
of ‘‘the lady in black.**

Violet is the color of magic,
mystery and imagination, while
green signifies growth, regenera-
tion and freshness.

Power colors: ‘*People have
such strong responses to different
colors,"’ Quinn says. ‘‘In fact, we
found that people purchased our
one-, two- or three-ounce eau de
toilette based not on the size or
price of the bottle — but based
instead on the color of the
package."’
