Mustard-colored dress - for showy women
In the cold season, I especially want to dilute my wardrobe with some original thing of an unusual color. Some girls add peppercorns to their wardrobe to "keep warm". But the most stylish and original prefer to add "mustard" in the form of a dress made of dense mustard-colored fabric. Why do they make such a choice and why is such a rather complex color popular in the summer as well?
Peculiarities
Mustard belongs to warm colors, warms the eye, activates the physiological processes of the body with its acuteness and subconscious associations. It is surprisingly combined with autumn foliage, "falling asleep" nature and sunny warming glow.
At the level of intuition, even if we are not professional stylists, we feel that, for example, a drawing with palm trees will be completely inappropriate in the autumn-winter period. But a mustard-colored coat or dress is just right.
Who is it for?
Blondes are more suitable for muted shades of mustard. If your complexion is particularly pale, it is best if the shades of your mustard dress are calm.
Other shades are perfect for girls with tanned skin.
A brunette woman of the "winter" color type can choose a dress of contrasting shades or complex color combinations, in the ranks of which a bright mustard tone will be included.
Brown-haired women use mustard color in their image very often, and rightly so: the color is not easy and attracts attention.
A mustard-colored dress is suitable for almost all red-haired women, but you need to be very careful when choosing a shade. The most successful choice would be a mustard yellow shade, where the proportion of mustard is not so great.
A bright expressive image will create a dress with a variety of colors. On the main mustard, it can be color accents - a black edging or a golden collar. Another good option is interesting patterns or prints in a logically appropriate color.
Mustard-colored dresses are also popular with bridesmaids for creating the same look.
With lace elements
Mustard itself is a rather complex color. In order to make it more suitable for everyone, designers often resort to certain color tricks: they dilute the mustard dress with contrasting decorative elements.
So, a dress of this shade may have a lacy white collar, which came into fashion a couple of years ago and remains relevant to this day. White lace collar can transform any item. If it is removable and embroidered with large beads, it will give the mustard dress an elegant festive look, in those moments when you need it.
Sleeves and pockets can be laced, which will also add uniqueness to your look. Shades of lace can contrast with the main tone of the dress or, conversely, complement it. In the first case, you will get the image of a bright, spectacular woman, in the second - the image of an elegant socialite.
A mustard dress can be laced, which looks especially out of the box. Lace adds femininity to the look.
What colors is mustard combined with?
With sand, beige and brown
The simplest and at the same time calm combination of mustard color happens with colors adjacent in shades, namely, sand, beige, shades of brown.
Often in designer collections, you can find dresses with a repeating geometric pattern of these listed options. The geometrically repeating pattern gives the mustard dress energy and incredible dynamism. This option is intended for energetic open women who find it difficult to sit still.
The basic rule when combining adjacent colors: we combine muted shades with muted, bright with bright. In general, if mustard has a rich shade, then brown should not lag behind it. The combination of mustard and chocolate colors can also look interesting. This option will look especially advantageous on brunettes with brown or green eyes.
With blue or sea wave
Another option is a contrasting combination with blue (ultramarine), or "sea green".
The contrasting combination on the one hand balances the opposite color, on the other hand it makes the image more catchy, adding sharpness.
With black / white
An option that simply cannot be mistaken is a combination of mustard with black or white, as well as their joint trio.
Black or white can be individual auxiliary wardrobe items, for example, a jacket or cardigan, accessories in the form of jewelry, a leather strap and other auxiliary accessories, as well as decorative elements on the dress itself or original prints in these monochrome colors. Even the seemingly simplest print - classic black or white polka dots - looks very unusual on a mustard dress.
The most advantageous pattern is the Scottish check - it is one of the noblest fabric prints and is especially popular among high-profile fashionistas. Scottish cage always adds exclusivity and "high cost".
What color tights are suitable?
As for tights, opaque dense black tights will be the most suitable for the autumn-winter period. This color goes well with any other.In warmer weather, flesh-colored tights, barely visible on women's legs, will be more suitable.
Accessories and decorations
Warm colors always go well with gold jewelry. It harmonizes well with mustard and bronze tints of massive expensive accessories.
If you prefer plastic jewelry to precious metals, then choose the appropriate shade. It should set off your skin color favorably. Choose from the following options: brown, beige, blue, white, black, chocolate, green, plum.
Shoes
In the summer, safari strappy sandals are the most suitable. They always have some noble shade of light brown. A more colorful option is beige shoes with an animal print or black peas.
Choosing shoes for a dress that combines several color accents is as easy as shelling pears. Choose a tone-on-tone one of the shades on the dress, preferably not the main one.
If it is difficult for you to decide whether or not it is possible to choose a suitable option for each dress, then black classic pumps will always come to your aid. In winter, it can be solid mustard or dark green boots in combination with thick black tights.
Makeup
When creating a daily look, keep makeup in natural shades. For spring and autumn color types, it is enough to emphasize the natural beauty by adding a drop of beige gloss to the lips and light brown shadows for the eyelids. The rest of the color types can choose a palette of cold shades with a smoky touch.
If this is your social event to any important event, then cherry or even red lipstick will be more useful than ever. It goes well with fair skin and a mustard shade of the dress. Smokey ice makeup is best avoided.
Manicure
Neutral manicure goes well with any outfit. The most expensive looking is still the classic jacket. If you paint your nails yourself, choose a natural flesh color. For special occasions, a gold-colored finish, and a pair of sparkly rhinestones add festivity.
Advice
Don't be afraid to combine complex colors in your wardrobe. After all, they make our image unique and fashionable. One rule applies to mustard color - it always dominates the ensemble. Whatever mustard dress you choose, do not forget that a friendly smile and good mood are always the key to a successful look!
A friend recommended that we look at mustard dresses, but I still don’t like them. I think you need makeup that is bright enough to make the look bright and contrasting enough.
