I always thought I hated wearing colors. Last summer I worked with a stylist who told me what my best colors were (soft autumn season palette). Now I wear every colour under the rainbow but soft, warm and of medium value. Learning YOUR best colors is one of the most important style advice. Thank you for your videos! :)
Did you hire a seasonal color stylist? I'm thinking of having my colors done, because I only know a few colors I look good in, and it's limiting. It sounds like you had a great experience!
@@PriskaJordan Yes! I highly recommend Carol Brailey. She has a UA-cam channel. She offers virtual and in-person analysis (Toronto). Your results are even confirmed by a second stylist. She trained with the international image institute.
Your closet looks like mine! I love jewel colors and also fell into the neutrals trap. I like them but feel more authentic in my colorful stylish clothes. Thank you for teaching me how to style. You’re AWESOME!!!😘
This topic was one of my favourites, loved the dynamics you did by taking out the bag and perfect hair + makeup on those boring outfits. You have such an unique perspective on things that is rare to find online and especially on UA-cam, but I feel just like you, I am vibrant and spicy as well and I want others to see me like I see myself.
So smart! You just articulated what I have been thinking for a long time! Maybe it's partly because I've lived in the tropics a lot of my life, but I am bored to death with bland neutrals.
Love this episode Priska!! Your pink suit is one of my favourites on you!! Everything about it is perfect! The colourful dress is just wOW!! You really know YOUR best colour palette. How did you learn this? Trial and error or did you have your colours done? I love your channel!!! I have always worn a lot of neutrals like black, and certain shades of navy and charcoal and beige, like a deeper caramel, but only the ones that suit my colouring. I then add in some colourful accessories, like Fuschia shoes. Or a colourful scarf in my best colours. Ivory as a neutral looks horrible on me. Whatever neutrals someone decides to wear, they must remember to choose the tones of these colours that suit them. A lot on Influencers who espouse neutrals don’t teach that aspect of wearing them.
Thank you! 🥰 I haven't had my colors analyzed yet, but I'm working on it. I suppose just looking at enough film of myself quickly reveals the good versus the bad. Yes, caramel is a beautiful neutral. I think of it more like an orange shade though. It has life!
There’s definitely something about seeing yourself on video or photo that can help you analyze the best colours and shapes that suit us best. That’s another good tip. Thank you Priska!
You are soo absolutely right. We all change and we wont wear things for 10-15 years, things, even good quality items, wear out, especially when having less items and then wear them more. And dipping into designers and quality items, the designer items are not worth the price when we get to quality. Medium to higher quality brands give you same quality, and more choice with regards to design. And definitively show who you are in your clothes. Thanks
I've recently discovered the same thing. Mid-price point pieces are the best value for my tastes. Maybe I could make a mid-price point clothing video 🤔
I do enjoy more neutrals but I have certain colours that I love and feel great wearing. Since they all play well together I enjoy this happy medium. I also love seeing people like you wearing color. Just because I don’t feel as confident doing that much color doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate it on others. Love your ideas and thoughts as it helps me embrace those color moments that I have. Yeah!
Great point on combining colors & neutrals. I sometimes wear black or white on bottom, so the color of my top is drawing the eye upward and highlighting my face.
Thanks for this! I have given up too much color trying to make easy mix and match capsules and following the trends. I have begun to turn that around and enjoy my colorful outfits. I appreciated seeing you looking so fabulous in your colorful clothes.
Wonderful! I started my style journey with capsule wardrobes, but I found them to be limiting. I still use a capsule when I travel, so I can pack lighter, but not on an everyday basis.
I don't wear neutrals by themselves, yuck. I pair bright white or pure black with my colorful closet! It brings me joy to see bold color. The comparison to dressing clean like a hospital was hilarious!!! I couldn't believe the photo of J.Lo, why do "they" touch her up at all? She looked real and beautiful.
I'm glad it was a memorable comparison. 😆 I agree, but they do it because it sells more magazines, products, etc. Unfortunately, we have to change the culture around beauty and aging before the industry changes. That's my mission, and I'm glad you're a part of it. 🤝
I just discovered your channel and you and I have very similar skin and hair color and the clothes your wearing is the stuff I like! And I’ve been feeling like I need to wear more neutrals because I feel like I have nothing to wear and I’m a busy homeschool mom and I just want to look out together 😩
I'm so glad you're here!! 🙌 My next video is about *SIMPLE* styling tips -- all using my colorful outfits. I'm sure you'll get a lot out of it, so stay tuned...
If this were a debate between the colourful and neutral camps, I think you might have won! I like both when done well. Bold reds and crisp whites especially make me happy. I agree that what lifts a colourless (or colourful) look is well done hair and makeup, as well as clothes that fit well, flatter your shape and are in good condition.
Wow, I 100% agree with your points, I love colour, so I'm curious to see what else I can learn from you. But I am mostly subscribing because of the quality of your production. Love it. You deserve your audience to grow faaaaast. Also, you come across very authentic, which is great. Btw, pink is my favourite colour, lol.
I LOVE colors❣️ I always feel bit out of style because I do not like neutrals (except if black or white makes the color look more brilliant). If I wear beige my daughter tells me I look I will die in the next few minutes. The colorful outfits that you present are very inspiring- congratulations 💐💐💐
You really stand out in a good way Priska, also here on YT🤩 I adore your videos and you inspire me to be more brave and wear more colorful clothes. I had a color analysis about a year ago, and was surprised to be a warm autumn, but I like those colors and look forward to wear rosy, rusty, golden shades, with petrol, purple and chocolat brown (definitely not white). It will take some time though… unfortenately some of the shops you recommend don’t ship to Sweden… and it’s not an alternative to shop my closet😂 I would love some more tips on how to overcome the fear, get out of that rut and start to wear more colors, when you haven’t done it so much💓
That's great to hear! Do you have a Boden in Sweden? They're London-based, so they might ship to you. One quick tip about starting to wear colorful clothes is to find the one color that you want to be the cornerstone of your wardrobe. I jokingly say that burgundy is my neutral, because it comprises so much of my closet. Just start with one color (like in an everyday handbag or shoes), and expand from there. You got this! 👏 👏
My neutrals problem is that I don’t look good in black, white, cream, or anything on the brown spectrum. So right now I enter a store see nothing but those colors and end up right back out of that store
I agree with your reasoning. An addition: As someone who lived and suffered through the 90s and y2k fashions, back then it was either the clean, minimal esthetic à la Calvin Klein, or crazy colorful outfits that looked all over the place (and certainly not chic). (I disliked both as a teenager and turned to my mother's 70s clothing instead. 😅) Examples of colorful elegant everyday outfits were rare and IMO it didn't really get better since then. Even more so as here in Germany people generally value practicability and blending in more than personal expression. So if most people actually prefer not to stick out so much, telling them "wear neutrals=more chic" actually plays neatly into their bias. A bit late - but a Happy New Year to you! 💃💫🍀
Good points. Fashion & style are absolutely culturally contextual. I'm OBSESSED with 70s clothing! I have some vintage, but I'm mostly finding inspo from the prints and cuts in today's clothes to wear. 🕺 And happy new year to you, too!!
Great video! I've kinda fallen prey to the neutral trend.I realized I didn't have enough foundational wardrobe basics in neutrals & and along my style journey I realized I grew out of certain colors. I still love color, but I don't know how to style them well. I think for so long I was poorly styled that I'm now nervous about styling colors properly! But I know my color palette, what colors look good on me & what colors I love.
Well, you do have a point! Wearing neutrals is easy, because they typically match. But hopefully you can learn other elements of style from my videos, so you can wear the colors you love AND look fabulous in them! 💃
So glad you’re back Priska, I missed you! And I, too, find black/white/grey/beige incredibly boring. I’ve finally been stepping into all my jewel tone and fun print glory and it makes me feel like such a glamorous queen! It’s casual Friday at the office today so I’m currently in these diamond print wide leg jeans and a rich blue Hogwarts tee - with red jeweled earrings! These days when I get dressed I see the outfit and think “Priska would be so proud” 😁
Yes! I love colors. I wear mainly purple, red, navy blue, petrol blue, royal blue and burgundy in the winter time and bright red, terracota, royal blue, Kelly green, sage green and magenta in the summer time. Whenever I can afford it, I buy clothes that are made of natural fabrics such as linen, cotton, merino wool and cashmere, so even though they're colorful, they look classic. Every now and then I wear black because it's the easiest option (and the easiest to clean!). In white, cream and beige I look sick or even like a corpse and wear these colors only when I want to blend in the crowd without anyone noticing me...
Your color palette sounds so dialed in! 🎯 That's a great point about fabric choices. The natural fabrics look more chic and classic , and that's grounds the outfit so you can wear more colors and still show your sophisticated tastes. You reminded me that I only wear all black at the gym when I *don't* want to talk to anyone. 😂

Very cool! Thank you for sharing this info. I need to get this done!
I also got my colors done! I did in person because I can’t believe that colors could be accurately done when monitor colors and lighting vary.
Your closet looks like mine! I love jewel colors and also fell into the neutrals trap. I like them but feel more authentic in my colorful stylish clothes. Thank you for teaching me how to style. You’re AWESOME!!!😘
Color!!!! 🙏🏼🌈♥️💕🍒🌟 Thank goodness.

Good point -- environment and climate make a big difference in what you're attracted to. 🌴 🌊 ☀️
This definitely resonates…I can’t relate to the all neutral, minimalist wardrobe esthetic - if others can, great. Why not have some fun with color?
This video was made for me 😅 My entire wardrobe is neutrals and I'm tired of it! Thanks for posting this - so helpful!
You are spot on!
I agree!!!! I love your wardrobe as I am a colourful person myself and I always get compliments , even from young people, I am 68….
Very groovy! 🕺

"Black, white and beige" I dressed in that way already over 10 years ago! Still wearing them. And I shop very very little.
Really interesting! I Love neutrales and colours. I change often because I Love to Look like my daily mood.
So good! I think color scares us! Yes please teach me about color and style!
That's a good point. It can be intimidating...until you learn style principles that are applicable to any color palette. 🎨

Someone had to said that 😃👏👏👏
I LOVE colors❣️

I'm LOLing!!! At least she's honest 😂
Another great video! Thanks Priska. I love learning from your channel. Glad you’re back. 👍💕
Thank you, Heather! 🤗
Great video!!! Very true and very good observation on neutrals!! Happy New Year!!!
Thank you for watching. Happy new year to you, too! 😊

@@PriskaJordan Thank you for the tips! I'll definitely check them out. Burgundy as your neutral - love that!
So true!
My clothes are with neutral colors 😂 but I spice it with red/ burgundy/peach 😅 365 I’m feel elegant chic ❤.😅 take care ❤
That's great! It's the pops of colors that make it *personally* stylish.
My neutrals problem is that I don’t look good in black, white, cream, or anything on the brown spectrum. So right now I enter a store see nothing but those colors and end up right back out of that store
But seriously! Who told retailers to dullen their entire stores?! 😂
I agree with your reasoning.

I'm OBSESSED with 70s clothing! I have some vintage, but I'm mostly finding inspo from the prints and cuts in today's clothes to wear. 🕺 And happy new year to you, too!!
I love being a chic elephant.

I would recommend business casual on "casual" day.
