The importance of your Wardrobe

Whether you are aware of it or not, the moment you walk out the door of your home, you are making a statement of who you are. A good wardrobe or coordination of an outfit is absolutely essential for success. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you do (lawyer, business executive, plumber, teacher), looking sharp will improve how others perceive you. Oftentimes, perception defines how you will be remembered and whether a potential customer, client or employer will be motivated to pursue a relationship. So dress to impress!

Color coordination of Jewelry & Wardrobe

When you put together an outfit, color is one of the most important aspects of your entire wardrobe. Poor choice of color can draw attention to flaws, whereas a good coordination of your jewelry and wardrobe can help you look sensational. Fashion is about color and how you use it in your clothes and jewelry. Most jewelry does not require coordination, but if you really want to dress to impress, you must be pickier with your gemstone jewelry. Le Vive Jewelry offers a wonderful collection of beautiful jewelry with vibrant colors to make you look great. Regardless of your budget we are sure that we can help you color coordinate your wardrobe.

The ABC’s of Primary and Secondary Colors:

Before we get into what colored outfits look good with what colored jewelry piece, we have to start with the basics. Primary colors are Red, Blue and Yellow which is the foundation of any color. This means when you take a look at your shirt, blouse, or pants... one of these colors is sure to be the primary. Even if you look at your black pants... some black colors have more of a red or blue hue to it.

Primary colors should be carefully coordinated with secondary colors to bring out the best in you and your look. What you want to do is take a look at the overall color of your outfit and from there you can then review your secondary colors in the ensemble.

The secondary colors are made by mixing equal parts of any two complementary. The secondary colors include: green (yellow and blue), orange (yellow and red) and purple (blue and red).

Some Quick Rules on Color Coordination:

The color wheel is really a great tool for beginners. You use the color wheel to determine what colors coordinate well with each other and what doesn’t. Start with a color of your outfit or gemstone... look across from the color wheel to see the idea color tone that you should wear to contrast the color. Example, if your outfit is blue, wearing yellow toned jewelry and gemstones will be a perfect wardrobe!

These are the basic rules to coordinating your wardrobe and jewelry:

Blue and Green Outfits: white pearls,
Purple outfits: go with citrine, gold tone jewelry & even green emeralds
Red outfits: go with emerald jewelry
Black outfits: go with any color!
Neutral outfits: go with diamonds and black jewelry
All outfits go well with diamonds!

3 Steps to choosing jewelry for your wardrobe:

Figure out the main color of your outfit, if you are wearing a yellow top with grey pants, yellow is your main color.
Look at your main color on the wheel
Look across from the main color of your outfit and see the complimentary colors of what you should add as an accessory.

Example: If your outfit is on the most part blue, look across the color wheel and see that yellow and orange hues are complimentary choices for jewelry. Use citrine gemstones to give your attire the touch it needs to make it look amazing! We at LeVive Jewelry recommend citrine pendants, citrine rings or yellow topaz jewelry.
