The Power of Colour: What Your Clothes Say About Your Mood

Have you ever noticed how slipping into a bright yellow dress instantly lifts your spirits, or how wearing black can make you feel more confident and in control? The colours we wear aren't just about style—they carry energy, emotion, and meaning. In fact, colour psychology suggests that the shades we surround ourselves with can influence how we feel and how others perceive us.

Let’s dive into what wearing different colors might say about you—and how these choices can subtly shift your mood and mindset.

How Colors Affect Our Emotions

Colour psychology is the study of how different hues of colour impact human behaviour and feelings. While responses to colour can vary based on culture and personal experience, many associations are surprisingly consistent. That’s why brands carefully choose colour palettes, therapists use colour in healing spaces, and we instinctively reach for certain clothes depending on how we feel.

Our wardrobes can become a kind of emotional toolkit—helping us energize, soothe, empower, or express ourselves without saying a word.

Dressing with Intention

Once you become aware of how colour can impact your emotions, you can start to dress more intentionally. Need a confidence boost? Try red or black. Feeling scattered? Lean into calming blues or greens. Want to spark some joy? Yellow or orange might do the trick.

Don’t be afraid to play around with your wardrobe. Notice how you feel in certain colours—and how people respond to you. Over time, you might discover your own personal “power colours” that help you feel more like yourself.
