Must have Mustard

I have fallen head over heels with teeming mustard recently. I know I am million years too late but it has taken years of decision making process as I am familiar with the potential risk of the fact that it might not flatter my skin complexion. It was rather love at millionth sight but better late than never and I decided to go off exploring and spice my up wardrobe in a very rebellious yellowish way after all, and with something very unconventional, something not me in the least.

I have noticed that mustard beautifully accentuates dark tones, creates a blazing contrast which might direct favourable attention to navy for instance or compliment powder blue or white and there is a plethora of shades of this delicious condiment to choose from so everyone should succeed in finding the very one that brings out the spark.

On the other hand, I also believe that devoting to yellow merely for fashion's sake could be a bit of a mistake too as it is a rather audacious colour and it is necessary to feel comfortable and confident wearing it in order to be able to pull it off. As I said, there is a host of mustard tones ranging from bright yellow to dark brown, which ultimately gives you a lot options and if you take time and find the very tone that flatters your skin complexion, the colour of your hair or eyes, the result might surprise you in a very tasty way.

 

Michael Kors on how to wear mustard

"Gold, honey, mustard - you can do these colours in lightweight fabrics, so it's a head start on fall without the bulk," he says. "I think mustard has an automatic warmth to it. A lot of the trick of modern fashion is seasonless clothes. No one wants to wear heavy clothes, even in the fall."

Something like sun-dried tomato mustard, which is more of a burnt orange with flecks of yellow and brown, is a good bet for your investment pieces, for example.

"You're going to see a lot of melding of all these colours, especially a glen plaid or a check," Kors confirms. "They work like the solid that's not a solid. A good investment piece isn't always black pants or a white dress."

By the same token, he advises steering away from any shade that is too yellow - and instead wearing bright mustard in textured fabrics to accent other tones.

"I think it's good in small doses, but I don't think you want to invest in a coat of this colour," he tells the press.
