Is colourful clothing just for babies and children?
Have a look in your closet and check out what colours prevail. My wardrobe gravitates toward black. Black has been considered stylish, serious, and elegant, as well as slimming. Grey is a neutral that often signals maturity and tranquility; it doesn’t call attention to you. Some say navy blue is a colour of confidence and reliability and is the colour to wear to a job interview. Blue is also often seen in working uniforms.

This month of Valentine’s Day, let’s consider some other colours. The vibrant colour of red will most certainly draw attention and it is a colour of energy, passion, and power. Bright pink is often thought as a little girl’s colour, but different shades of pink can be flirty, romantic, or calming. Below, the “Summer Slouch Beanie”, a pattern designed by Simply Made by Erin, shows variegated pinks in a mix of wool, silk, and alpaca.
