    Thanks Emily for such a comprehensive overview of harmonious colour combinations. I’m trying to introduce more colour into my wardrobe so this is really helpful. I’m guessing you’ve had your seasonal colour analysis done? I think you may be an autumn as you look gorgeous in earthy warm tones such as the lovely burnt orange dress you’re wearing which is the palette you said you are drawn too.

    I have a problem with petite designers. They create a lot of patterns and not many solids. It makes matching more complicated because the outfit looks busy from the beginning. Do you have any suggestions for toning down busy patterns?

    • @EmilyElizabethMay
      @EmilyElizabethMay  Місяць тому +1

      Ooo yeah that’s tough.
      I would try to tone down busy patterns by pairing them with something neutral and basic.
      Do they design trousers with patterns too? Or are they solid colours? Because that would make it even more difficult!

    • @americafirst9144
      @americafirst9144 Місяць тому +1

      Try wearing them under solid cardigans or jackets.
      Or ditch them altogether and hire a good tailor.

    I think most of these very saturated colors would be more interesting in more muted tones, and maybe also more realistic for everyday outfits. IMO.

    • @EmilyElizabethMay
      @EmilyElizabethMay  Місяць тому

      Yes I also agree! I did say at the beginning that the colours can be used in a range of tones (but you still use the primary and saturated colours as a guide). I wish I repeated this a bit more throughout to make it clear ❤️

    I am an artist and in art as well as clothes I've always found the colour wheel theory to be forced and just one of those man-made traditions/constructs that few people question. That is why you seemed to struggle to find good outfits based on this theory, I wouldn't wear any of them. I'd rather you concentrated on why less is more when it comes to colours, especially bright colours, or warm and cold colours (e.g. types of greys), different hues (e.g. pink reds v orange reds), rich v dull shades (different types of blacks, chocolate browns, etc.) or on winter neutrals and how to perk them up with an accent colour. That would be more useful, chic and natural, thank you. You also called an orange bag yellow and a lilac outfit purple, please identify colours correctly. This is how you spell pastel, btw pastel colours are very ageing

    • @EmilyElizabethMay

      I definitely understand what you mean. Thank you for pointing all this out. I know that colour is a complicated topic, and as someone who’s not trained with any art degree this is the methods that I have used and i have found really helpful for me. When I first tried to learn about colour it all seemed very overwhelming and the techniques I spoke about in this video simplified it for me, so thats why I shared it.
      I don’t think it’s my job to tell anyone what colour combinations they should and shouldn’t wear, and what looks good and what doesn’t. I personally loved a lot of these outfits that I shared. But I would never expect everyone to love the colour combinations, each to their own.
      I have found the colour wheel in the past to be helpful for outfits I’ve put together, and I mentioned that the colours do not have to be as bright as what I show on screen.
      I think I named a mustard yellow bag “yellow-y” - yes, it’s not a technical term, but like I said I don’t have a background in art and I try to keep my videos simple so that anyone can understand and they don’t get overwhelmed by it all.
      I also spoke about how my everyday outfits mix neutrals with a more colourful/accent piece.
      I understand with your knowledge you could have put much more detail into the points of this video, but that was not the goal of the content for me and doesn’t help my target audience. I aim to simplify that’s all ❤️

    Call me old fashioned, but I don’t think pink goes with orange. Nor with red for that matter.

    • @EmilyElizabethMay
      @EmilyElizabethMay  2 місяці тому +5

      It’s definitely a personal preference. There were some old “dressing rules” that suggested never wear pink with red and never wear black with navy, but these have been challenge recently by designers and don’t apply anymore.
      But definitely a preference thing 😌❤️
