9 STYLE SECRETS To Master Wearing COLOUR

[@TheDebster44]

I find your channel one of the few that actually teaches something new. We all know by know we can add a belt or scrunch up sleeves, but you always have something actually new and insightful to add. Also a lot of it works for people with different styles. Also loved your tips on proportions!

[@rachellee38]

I've been craving some bright new (to me) colors in my wardrobe recently, so this video was very timely. I think one of the most useful things I've ever learned from you is that pairing a bright color with a muted color looks less jarring than pairing the bright color with black or white. This is very useful, because I don't wear a much black to begin with but black plus color can look a bit costumey. Black with red? Santa. Black with orange? Halloween. Black with pink? Victoria's Secret. But when the usual piece of advice out there is "wear color with neutrals", that's where my mind used to go, and it wasn't all that helpful. Now I know a bright pink can look nice and harmonious with a pale mossy green, for instance. It has really opened up my options. Brown is also really great. I don't have many outfits involving black that wouldn't be better subbing the black for brown. It's a gentler neutral.

So glad this tip has been helpful for you! I know that when I first learnt this one, it also COMPLETELY changed my approach to colour ❤ the moss green and pink sounds lovely btw

I used to always be one of those girls that saw other girls in color, and would say, Gee, I sure wish I could wear that. I don't know if it's an age thing, or whatever. One day I asked myself why the hell can't I? Life's too short not to have any fun and to wear all black because it's what you feel comfortable in. Wear what you love, make mistakes, and don't learn your lessons lol Everybody is too busy caring about themselves anyway. 💋

4:12 this outfit is so cute!! thank you for teaching about the tibi color wheel, this is so helpful

[@skygaz3r]

I love how you started with texture! I’ve always felt like something was missing with my outfits until I realize it was texture!

[@thequizzicalreader141]

I also love 90s inspired t-shirts. I want to find a sewing pattern, mostly because I want to sew some tees made out of pointelle fabric, they are so pretty.

[@klara5578]

Thank you! For mentioning that cool and warm can actually create a nice contrast together. This is so ”taboo” in colour analysis but in my own experience it’s true. For ex. I think the combination of mint green / cool blues (typical summer colours) with autumnal cognac brown leather accessories looks lovely. And neutral - warm brown eye shadow can bring out blue eyes. I happen to have natural copper highlights in my (natural!) brown hair despite being an otherwise textbook Summer type. I always thought I’m some kind of anomaly of the colour world. But now I start to think that mother nature knows something that the colour analysts don’t… 😉 Gonna bring the gold - silver idea with me for the future, I feel it’s one of those colour analysis ”error” topics!

[@bbappzz98]

Yes I was recently thinking that when we look at art and design, we see multiple examples of cool and warm colours together so why is it so common in the fashion world to say warm toned individuals should only wear warm colours and the reverse for cool toned individuals? It can look pretty flat when we stick to one or the other.

[@abigailb9635]

What a fantastic video! I love the way you explained the muted complementary colours. ❤ thank you so much

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you ❤❤ one of my favourite ways to wear colour 🥰

[@eviozyra6300]

I think I am a summer. 🤔 cool darker blond hair with pretty pale neutral? skin. I love warm colors but have to say I just found out that in a cool baby blue or lilac my face just lightens up. I still will be wearing also the warmer tones with silver jewelry, like you said, but will keep that in mind decluttering and shopping 🙌🌼 I also prefer low contrast outfits, I feel I look better in them. Now I know why.

[@annabelle7123]

Wow what an informative video! Seriously this one video could be made into so many more! Packed with color theories and ideas. Thank you! I might need that color wheel haha.

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you ❤ so glad you found it informative. It’s kind of everything I wish I knew from the very start :)

[@hpidg5306]

You always open my eyes to the finer details of material quality and finishes as well as workable combinations for day and evening wear. Like you I'm best suited to autumnal earth tones, but learn from you so much about contrast, textures and balancing brights with muted tones. Thank you.

[@greenlandgem]

A really nice video about colour! I think many people always think about combos in terms of the base colour, like a box of kindergarten crayons. This showed how we really need to think about shades, tones, tints, desaturated, etc combinations. Great job! :)

[@debchaffin]

would love to see your staples in regards to color and style clothing. like you are building your wardrobe from the ground up

[@mrssmurf55]

Never thought of dark green with red but it looked amazing on you❤

[@DailyHelenJ]

Thank you! They’re surprisingly good together :) ❤

[@moiraberniegatt9491]

I love colour but flat colours overwhelm me where a narrow stripe lifts me. If the accent colour is really bright then a contrast cream or off white is the answer. You are amazingly stylish and though nothing you wear would suit me I’ve learned so much. Thank you

[@suzanschneider6163]

I love this video. And the Tibi color wheel is great. All of your analysis resonates with me. Well done!

[@llera_navi]

loved this video!! you always explain the style concepts/ideas that I consider when putting together outfits in a way that's so articulate and easy to understand 🫶 and the examples you show are super helpful and inspiring too!

[@DailyHelenJ]

Yay so glad you enjoyed it ❤ I have so much fun putting in all the graphics every time :)

[@kathleen5800]

but you are definitely a muted summer, you look way more radiant in cool soft colours!!

[@dianecloutier5533]

A great video! And I love your red hand knit cardigan!😍

[@geniej2378]

Wow, fantastic video! I’ll be back to rewatch with Pinterest in another tab to analyse my boards and see if I’m making use of these! I love so many of the tips you gave here. Just a note on the “colours of nature” being harmonious and easy to wear - I think part of it is your skin undertone being warm and close in depth to those colours too.

[@stylebook7]

Thankyou for sharing these tips❤️ nobody else on KZbin share such useful tips...m glad that I found your channel 🌻

[@chensuz]

I've learned so much from your videos about how I can be more intentional and have more fun with my style. Thank you for researching and explaining design and color theories so clearly!

[@Melz_Bellz]

My color palette is medium saturation cool-toned colors. I love these pieces and I’m drawn to them but they can end up looking dorky in an outfit. I have low-contrast coloring. Would love some tips! I feel so often the warmer tones are trendier recently and end up looking more elevated.

[@lamodedepinktag]

Good video, with clearly stated advices.

[@carolalvarez3925]

Learned a lot. Never thought about red and brown together. Going to try it.

[@thelidiaedit]

Wow, what an informative video! I can only imagine the effort that went into producing it. Thank you!

[@DailyHelenJ]

Was fun to create! :) I’m so glad you found it informative ❤

[@jasminetyxo]

Great tips!! My style goal this year is to wear more color so this is very helpful 😊

[@SilSolo]

I agree with the color analysis part. Now there’s more combinations than I can wear

[@jawnutssun2728]

As someone who is trying to wear more color. This is very helpful

[@mansoor3159]

Helen you have such a adorable voice and I really really love your style of your videos so so much and I will support you so so much🥹🥹💖💖

[@DailyHelenJ]

I’m always so grateful! Thank you ❤❤

[@angeliqueboissiere5457]

Amazing video, thank you so much this is very helpful :)

[@sichayasittipod8194]

The example with the turquoise and white is so true. I am a Winter and bright colors and high contrast is always suggested but I personally feel it looks “dated” like from the 80s or 90s.

[@adakuakabogu856]

Great video Helen, very much needed

[@haleypenny]

stellar video, helen! thank you for covering so many different elements of color

[@giovannao.p.7591]

I love your style! this video is so informative I watched twice to take notes lol

[@annemariemattacchione3696]

Color and texture! Genius. Appreciate you!

[@guhreenskittles]

I liked this video before even watching it. I’m so happy that you can read my mind on video recommendations! lol

[@katie_catlover]

Thanks so much. Sharing the concepts is super helpful if you are a different color season or low contrast since some of the color combos that work great on you might not suit others

[@deborahjoyce591]

Great video Helen. Gave me some great ideas as I am Added mor color into my wardrobe

[@Sweetpotato_pancakes]

Hi Helen! Love your videos! Did you knit the red cardigan? Would live to know the pattern🤗🌺

[@DailyHelenJ]

❤ the red cardigan is cardigan no.7 by my favourite things knitwear :) I enjoyed it x

[@jenniferbeltran695]

Thank you, Helen! Love this! 💛

[@ashleygale6224]

Lots of great tips and info in this video - thank you! Wondering if you can also please share where your long white skirt is. Thank you!

[@thelidiaedit]

12:59 what about flowers though? There are some very bright ones that look amazing with more earthy tones…

[@jumplc]

This is exactly what I need! Thanks for another great video:)

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I love color, but soft ones. Clear, bright colors don’t suit my coloring as well as muted ones. I also prefer light colors to darks. Spring is usually the best season for me to find the colors I love to wear.

[@melissapereira6957]

can you do a video about how to use high heels on day without looking too much? im a short girl, but i like looking casual, and i feel like using heels always make me look to put together, i don’t know if i make sense

[@sarahroseinteriorsco]

Loved this.

[@katja_und_mickey]

that's such a good video! thank you! beautiful combinations. I might consider reinstalling IG :D

[@paulinegutierrez2509]

Could you give me the name of the color wheel you use to get the muted colors combinations . Where can I purchase one. Thank you.

[@joellepeters]

Do you have recommendations for colour analysis in Australia? Esp Melb

[@erinaltstadt4234]

Thank you

[@user00616]

I love you videos!!!

[@fromwordstosounds]

dear Helen, thank you for another great video😊 I'd really appreciate it if you or anyone could help me with some questions regarding warm and cool tones: 1. is navy a warm or cool tone? 2. At 13:04, i thought the middle shade (which looks like burgundy on my phone screen) looks warm while the shade at the bottom (a bit bright orangy to me) feels more like a cool tone... How to decide which is which?

[@moon-je2hc]

Hi there, I will try to help as best as i can (but please correct me if I am wrong.) As far as i understand, navy is a cool colour almost all the time. There are other blues that are of a similar saturation though, but are more warm, such as a dark petrol/teal blue. The way i imagine it is that I am mixing paint colours- with the petrol/teal blue, I can imagine more green being mixed in which lends it more warmth than a colder midnight blue navy. When you look at the burgundy at 13.04 as opposed to the warmer orange, I can picture blue, purple and grey kind of tones being mixed to create the burgundy- since blue, purple and grey all lean cool, that is why the burgundy berry colours are usually cool toned. Whereas with the orange, i can picture warmer yellows and sometimes browns being mixed to create the warm orange-toned red, giving it the warmth. I imagine this is very much not a flawless system, but as you think more about colours in those terms it starts to become more intuitive to work out which ones fit together more. I hope this can help a little bit 🙂

[@fromwordstosounds]

@@moon-je2hc thank you for your time and effort! really appreciate it 😍

[@karmagallery9922]

thanks I love colors. I like the video but not too sure about the way you talk maybe it is the clipping effect that it sounds digital like da da da da da... making my head weewanwan

[@michalinaokrent6672]

I've noticed it some time ago and sometimes I will skip watching the vid because it's distracting from the content for me. I wonder if maybe the creator's native language has this rhythm and she instinctively uses it when speaking English or she lives in a country where the local language has that melody to it... which may be natural for that language but sounds robotic in English. Or it may be the editing. Or some neurodivergency?

[@veronxska]

​@@michalinaokrent6672 it's the editing. Almost no pause in between her sentences

[@DailyHelenJ]

Let me work on this one :) I think I’ve gone overboard in my editing 🤣 will try to make it feel a bit more natural

[@carly9077]

I would have guess you were a winter, like a cool winter perhaps.. are you sure about your analysis??

[@DailyHelenJ]

I’m fairly sure as I’ve been typed a few times but … ofc I could always be wrong. Lighting in videos can be tricky as often I’m literally blue 🤣 on a cloudy day. So it can throw off how skin tones look

[@ingepearson4842]

Hi Helen! Lovely video! Can you share where your khaki trousers are from? Timestamp ~9:14

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I still think your coloring was completely mis-typed, you’re a Soft Summer. Just look what those light, muted greens and blues do for your skin - it’s amazing. You have beautiful young skin to begin with, but pale, cool colors make it glow like a pearl. I don’t think those yellow-browns and yellow-greens flatter you at all. You probably have very pale olive skin, which is very frequently mis-typed as having a warm undertone. We all have yellow in our skin, that doesn’t make us warm-undertoned. I wish you would get another color analysis.

[@ZurditaDinamita]

I didn't know about the Tibi color wheel, such a discovery! ❤ My wardrobe (and bank account) say thanks 😂 Now I know why my quirky garments wasn't working with those "neutrals which fit anything" (ring 2) 🥲
