Stylists name five clothing colours that suit every woman

The colour of clothing affects how a woman looks, and certain shades can visually make a figure appear slimmer. An article published by the Latvian newspaper Latvijas Avīze, prepared from foreign press materials, lists five colours said to suit every woman and to be safe additions to any wardrobe.

Black and white

Black is described as one of the basic colours, considered universal and self-sufficient. A fully black outfit always looks striking, especially when complemented with jewellery and other accessories.

White is described as elegant and expensive-looking. It is associated with purity, modesty and completeness, and can enhance any woman's appearance. The article calls white clothing a valuable wardrobe addition.

Blue, orange and green

Blue is associated with luxury and looks especially good alongside white clothing. With suitable shoes and accessories added, the look is said to draw attention.

Orange is described as a pleasant, bright colour that suits summer looks well. It brings out the skin tone and is associated with determination, freedom and perseverance. Orange also pairs well with white and black.

Green can highlight natural beauty and softness, but its shades require care. Bright green may look too bold and does not always produce an elegant look, whereas emerald or grass green is a different matter.

The piece is a general roundup of advice on clothing colours and building a wardrobe.
