Need to Feel Better Fast? Try Changing Your Clothes
That’s right: What you wear can have a major effect on your mood. Says Leslie Gonzales at eDiets,
Colors have a remarkable affect psychologically on our mood. Colors can affect how you feel or how others perceive you. If you wear a pretty vibrant red blouse, you will look energetic and have an air of authority. If on the other hand, you are wearing a dark brown blouse, you may feel more subdued or reserved.
Colors can also be used to camouflage your body’s imperfections or highlight your assets. Wearing a dark neutral pair of pants or skirt will help minimize a larger bottom. Or bring attention to a certain part of the body by wearing a lighter or brighter color. Dark colors recede or absorb light, while light colors jump out or reflect light.
When wearing the right colors you will naturally feel more confident.
I don’t know about you, but I notice a big difference based on what I wear. For instance, today I’m wearing a Granny Smith-green sweatshirt (stylish, not frumpy, I promise), which I seem to reach for every time I’m sick — because it makes me feel better. On days when I can’t quite get moving, this is the shirt for me.
That’s Fit has a great take on this topic, and a nice explanation of color therapy:
Whether it’s through official color therapy, or the difference in how you feel between putting on a red or a yellow sweater, color can have a significant impact on your life — whether you like it, or believe it, or not.
What are your best colors?
