Want to look and feel more confident? It could be as simple as the colour you pull out of your wardrobe. According to Personal Stylist Constance Richardson, the tones you wear have a huge impact on how others see you as well as how you see yourself. “Certain shades trigger associations that make us feel more assertive, approachable or energised, but the wrong ones can drain your confidence and leave you feeling flat.” www.byconstancerose.uk
For a Job Interview, Night Out or Public Speaking
Choose red: it’s universally associated with power, passion and leadership.
Avoid beige/light grey: this can sometimes washing you out, especially in winter.
For a Work Meeting, First Date or Networking
Choose royal blue: this signals trust and credibility and is calming but authoritative.
Avoid yellow: it has a risk of making you look tired, and can be overpowering on pale skin.
For Everyday Office Wear
Choose emerald green: ideal when you want to be fresh, balanced and linked with growth.
Avoid white: it can feel exposing and impractical, not ideal for a high-stress or messy environments.
Other Advice
Use accents: If bright red feels too bold, introduce it with accessories such as a bag, lipstick or scarf.
Skin tone matters: Fairer tones may prefer jewel shades such as emerald or sapphire, while deeper skin can carry off brighter, bolder colours.
Layer neutrals with confidence colours: green or blue against black/grey can transform an outfit.
