Hair Color + Clothing Color = ?

[_sunshinegirl]

So this is the first I have ever heard of such a thing before but a few days ago I heard a lady speaking of how she had to get a whole new wardrobe because her hair no longer matched her clothes, and they two didn't look right together.
Is this a true fear or just someone going a bit to far?
If it is true what colors [hair] look best with which colors [clothes]?

It just depends...if you have pink hair you cant wear pink clothes as a rule of thumb...etc...but it really doesnt matter

I think it does matter,but i think that the lady goes a little too far,i mean,u cant trow your clothes away unless u have lots money but still its a shame to trow clothes away because u just changed ur haircolour.Is like trowing your money away.But yeah i understand, the haircolour is importent too.Mine is black,so i have not much problems,but i know that i like to change and somtimes it doesnt match the clothes ,than this is sad,and also my taste will change a little bit tho but it doesnt mean i need a whole new wardrobe hehe

its just something that some people invent well some type of hair look better with some clothes than the other but still u can wear any type of clothes without woorying for matching the color

 

[skilltroks]

that is kinda crazy! getting new clothes to match your hair?

 

[babysnakes]

well, idk about your hair matching your clothes! i'd just keep in mind that if you have really dark hair it will stand out if you wear light clothes. and if you have light hair, dark clothes with make your hair stand out. well, maybe not clothes... probably just your top bc its closest to the hair

From a fashion perspective I would have to agree in certain aspects. That is of course if all your clothes are one color (which I can't imagine anyone being that obsessive but I'm sure it happens).

Think about it though... can a shirt clash with a pair of pants or skirt based on the color? Yes.. So why wouldnt your hair clash with something.

Oh my goodness! That is crazy! But, well I guess that's today's society!

well....i have brown hair and i can still wear brown clothes (tho i dont!) and ppl who have black hair can still wear black clothes. it also has to do with the hair style, as it may clash with some of your clothes. i dont think it really matters to much...

 

[Dimithriceas]

hehe Style does have a lot to do with it but that is more of an image perception and not really to much of a clashing color issue. Natural colors you won't find people thinking they clash to much. Black hair especially since black goes with anything.

The trick is when you get into the artificial hair colors. A friend of mine had Bright Electric Blue hair...so healthy and well kept it looked metallic when light hit it from the shine.. She made the mistake of wearing a pink dress one day and she looked absolutly horrible lol. Just my take on it all though =)

hulk wears ripped purple shorts

 

[kleptobismol]

yes and im sure that makes you look quite stunning, hulk

I had my colors "done" years ago and it made shopping so much easier: autumn colors, no pinks and only one or two blues in my palette . I think it has more to do with your skin tone than your hair color.

 

[Dimithriceas]

Skin tone is a factor in things like this. I think though that its more of a total picture deal. All aspects coming together.

 

[Alexs_Girl]

I think someone went a tad bit to far....lolz, but that's just me!

 

[Dimithriceas]

I agree with you, but conceptually it can be a valid arguement heh.

 

[sweetlambofgod]

well it does kinda work like that but more of your eye and skin colors as well, like if I wear relaly pale pink then I look white and red just doens't go with me.

 

[goodgirl]

when I was first scolded for wearing pink even though I'm a redhead, I went out and bought a bunch of red and pink clothes. does that count?

actually, rose pink is one of my best colors. and I like red, so there.

I do think there are some colors that look great with certain hair, but I don't think anyone should necessarily stay away from a color. Blondes look great in red or black, redheads in teal or peach, brunettes in dark purple or light blue, etc. But as an example, a beautiful blonde/blue friend of mine went to a stylist who specialized in colorization, and her four colors were deemed: "raisin" (sick purple-brown), navy, teal, and mustard yellow. Whuh?? it looked just awful so she went back to wearing her old stuff and we were all glad.

There are several Color Me Beautiful books you can find in most bookstores that are supposed to be a guide to hair makeup and clothing color based on your skin hair and eye color.
