Colour is an essential ingredient of the Aspiga collection and we are fortunate to work with talented artisans who handcraft our beaded and embellished sandals, bags, belts and jewellery.
Although there is no scientific evidence for the effect that colour can have on our mood, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that suggests that what we wear can have a big impact on our confidence and how we feel. For many people, summer is the time when it’s easiest to embrace colour. The lighter, warmer days, the promise of holidays and the outdoor life kick in and somehow wearing black or navy too often feels wrong, although a great black maxi dress always makes the grade!
Our hair colouring and skin tone also have a big impact on how we wear colour and which colours we choose. For these purposes, the palette is often split into seasons. Spring and Autumn colours are generally warmer and suit more olive skin tones, with a peachy undertone. Winter and Summer colours generally suit more cool skin tones but it’s as much about finding the right tone of the colour for your skin as it is about being prescriptive about which colours suit you and which don’t.
