Fashion HouseWhen to Avoid Wearing Orange

For business of any kind; orange is the least professional colour.

Afternoon tea, in any setting; it’s too elegant an occasion for orange!

When dieting as you are more prone to act impulsively in orange and less
likely to maintain self-control (hence, MacDonald’s interior decorating).

When you want to look elegant, as orange is a `declassifier’ and looks cheap on some seasonal types.

Wearing Violet for Emotional and Physical Impact

  • In business situations where you need to project confidence and individuality. Mid-tone to deep purples are both appropriate and professional in business (and a welcome alternative to the navies and greys in traditional sectors).

A winner on television; provided it is not too dark.

  • Good when suggesting a new approach to an old problem. On any occasion requiring diplomacy.
  • As an alternative to black for evening elegance, charm and seduction.

When to Avoid Wearing Violet

  • Whenever a low-key yet reassuring profile is most appropriate.
  • When interviewing for a limited place on an MBA programme, purple is too individualistic, non-conformist; who needs a troublesome student?
  • If an auditor called in to handle a receivership you’ll heighten anxiety and find people unco-operative.
  • Selling life insurance . . . projecting security in purple is difficult.
  • At your first luncheon as an executive wife if you want to ‘fit in’ not ’stick out’.
  • When you are depressed, it will make you feel more depressed.
