Psychology Of Black..In The Fashion World

Who's The Boss? Who Has More Power? Ofcourse, The Woman Dressed in Black

My recent visit to a gala fashion event left me puzzled to see a sea of people dressed head to toe in black. I paused for a while and asked myself: “what is this..some  social cult or something?”

During the event my thoughts raced towards fashionistas devotion to the colour black. It was almost equivalent to the sea of orange coloured robes I saw people wearing at OSHO’s International Meditation Resort in Pune or White robes adorned by the nuns of my Lucknow School. Though in the following years  wardrobes of the stylits have brightened up a bit, but although trends such as colour blocking or floral prints may float by on the surface wave, underneath there is a deeper, darker tide that pulls us back towards black. Repeated try by the fashion industry on colour codes now and then may highlight that red or pink or blue is the new black, the old black is still very much with us. 

Well known online fashion Stores confirm that  “black” items sales are twice as many as “blue”, and five or six times as many as “brown” or “grey”. This ratio remains more or less the same in winter and summer. Any online upmarket fashion retailer will vouch that they have more blacks in their wares than any other colour at any time of the year. 

I have often asked this question to myself that what is in black which has a high infatuation value than any of the more dreamy colours our world is made up of. As a black admirer myself, I wear colours sometimes, particularly in summer, but black is what I feel most comfortable in. Even while on a shopping spree I might try to lure myself in buying more colourful and floral outfits but the fact remains that black naturally attracts me like a moth to fire.

So for all those others who are asked why they wear so much black, here I am trying to answer that question.

The Psychology of Black

The colour Black sure has some history to it.

Black is a distinctive feature of religious garments (nuns, priests, Hassidic Jews). It remained a part of army uniform of many old civilizations and also various cults and societies.

In the modern day world it can be clearly seen as a part of distinguished uniform in the hotel industry, in corporate who are fietishly attracted to it and and many other business who have made black as their official colour. Black finds itself as uniquely versatile and flexible in the arena of clothing be them smart, casual, uniform, anit-uniform et el.

Black is  defined  as  the very darkest colour. Scientifically black absorbs all the visible frequencies of light, just as white reflects them all. Adding black to a colour changes its tone, not its hue. You will not find black in a painter’s pallete , water colourists opine that black is cheating and that it gives an impressions of all colours which we want to perceive. Black is an absence, not a presence. That what I think has made black so versatile and this colour can have so many wildly different meanings projected on to it.

This absence-not-presence is surely why black is universally believed to be flattering, and why anyone who has ever fretted about their figure regards black as a true friend. Architects while defining spaces with colours say that if you paint a very small room black it can seem bigger.

In the words of  late Liz Tilberis, ex-editor of British Vogue, “Black gives you an outline, a silhouette”. Colour and pattern, on the other hand, give you a surface-broken up, textured, contoured, that runs around the body and creates a visual sense of dimension. Black doesn’t actually have magical powers, though—if the outline is bulgy, in theory black will emphasise that, whereas colour and pattern detract from it. It should therefore follow that slim people look better in black than chubby ones, but that is a subjective matter.

Also there are a lot of practical reasons for choosing black. When I ask people why they prefer black over other colours, their natural first response is that “it’s easy to handle black”, which means it does not  reflect the dirt (an important aspect in all uniforms),  it does not date, it matches with almost all other colours, and most important it makes you stand out from the crowd. Black may look smart even if it’s cheap, and hence economically becomes a better choice, in short it’s the ruler of all other colours... Black is no doubt the king of colours.

For designers too black is an Angel. Doing colour can be time-consuming and complex—there are too many variables and it very tough to strike a right colour combination which people will like instantly. Some say black is boring and makes all wearers look alike. However, in the eyes of  Marie-Christine Brunin, who brought Zara’s shops to Britain, black makes clothing recede and isolates the face, so emphasising our individuality. 

Wow!! now that’s some reason to go  BLACK...

And you are bothered again, with onslaught of weather on your skin, as spending long hours in the open can severely affect your skin and also overall health. So how to keep your skin glowing and healthy as you enjoy your vacation? The sun’s warmth can be very rejuvenating on a mountain or sea side holiday but over exposure can harm your skin and hair and may take more time to restore itself to its original self.

Here’s the list of summer must-do’s from Chandrika Mahendra, Principal Scientist, R&D, The Himalaya Drug Company that shall keep your skin and hair woes at bay:

Get sun-protected: A sunscreen with an SPF of 15 is well-suited for all Indian skin types. However, ensure that your sunscreen provides you with a balance of both UVA and UVB protection. Apply every 2-3 hours for effective results, especially after excessive sweating and exposure to water.

Stay hydrated: Drink a lot of water, tender coconut, buttermilk and fresh juices to stay hydrated. Not all fluids help in keeping you hydrated, try and avoid caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee and coke tend to cause dehydration.

Avoid makeup meltdown: Exfoliate your skin before applying makeup, this helps remove dead cells and allows the makeup to stay longer, as exfoliation makes your skin surface smooth. Try light makeup base to avoid sweating. Look out for a scrub with herbal ingredients like Apricot and Wheatgerm, it would be gentle on your skin.

Hair Cleansing: In summers, due to heat, sweat and dust your hair needs frequent cleansing. Ensure you use herbal shampoo and conditioner, as they are mild on your scalp and hair.

Summer must-have: Make sure you have sunglasses, a broad-rimmed hat and a pack of blotting paper in your travel bag to face summer heat with style!

Bid Your Post Pregnancy Fat Goodbye Forever

So You immersed yourself in the joy of being a new mother and now you are equally eager to dive into your closet and want to get inside your lovely dresses and the awesome party dresses, not to mention your sexy tops and your amazing bodycons. However, thicker thighs and sagging belly of pregnancy are real mood turnoffs and here you are sulking thinking how to get back in shape now.

Girls don’t worry, follow these simple tips to reclaim your body and your life too..

There’s no secret to weight loss after pregnancy. It takes a healthy diet, a commitment to physical activity and patience to look the way you want to. The excess pounds you now shed will offer you a lifetime of good health.

Watch What You Eat

During pregnancy you might have changed your eating rich foods to support your baby’s health, growth and development. Post pregnancy also, proper nutrition is important — especially if you’re breast-feeding your sweetheart. Making wise choices can promote healthy weight loss after pregnancy.

Consider Fruits, Vegetables and Whole Grains your best friends: Foods high in fiber such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains , provide you with many important nutrients while helping you feel full longer.

Eat Smaller Portions at Regular Intervals: You might want to exchange your traditional meals for smaller, more-frequent meals. Do not skip meals or limit the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet, as you might miss the required dose of vital nutrients. A healthy diet will have 70% Proteins, 20% Fats and only a small 10% Carbs. Which means do not binge on breads and other bakery items. Also keep yourself hydrated throught the day. Drink at least 3.5 liters of water daily.

Regular Intake of Nutritional Supplements: Multivitamins, calcium, omega-3 fatty oil should be considered along side your diet, but only on advice of your health care giver.

Sorry no temptation. Surround yourself with healthy foods. If junk food poses too much temptation, keep it out of the house. No savoring on pizza, burgers, pastas or excess of wine or alcohol.

Eat Only When You’re Hungry: If you’re anxious or nervous or if you simply think it’s time to eat, distract yourself. Take your baby for a walk, call a friend or do something which will engage you more creatively. Dancing and/or listening to music can be very helpful.

Include physical activity in your daily routine

Gone are the days when women would wait for six weeks before engaging in any physical activity.

If you exercised during pregnancy and had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery, it’s generally safe to begin light exercise within a few days of delivery ,or as soon as you feel ready. If you had a C-section or a complicated birth, talk to your health care provider about when to start an exercise program. Consult your gynae before you start the action.

When your doctor gives you the OK:

Get Comfortable: If you’re breast-feeding, feed your baby right before you exercise. Wear a supportive bra and comfortable clothing.Cottons being the best choice.

Exercise Slowly & Gently: Begin with gentle aerobic activity, such as walking, stationary cycling or swimming. As your stamina improves, gradually increase the length and intensity of your workouts. A 20 min cardio is a good way to begin with. Avoid high impact exercises totally.

Target Your Abs: Losing abdominal fat takes dietary changes and aerobic exercise — but abdominal crunches and other ab exercises can help tone your abdominal muscles (in case of normal delivery). In case of a c-section consult your doctor.

Include Your Baby. Start your initial exercising program from home, it is always wonderful to include your baby in your routine. Lay your baby next to you while you stretch on the floor, or include your baby in strength training activities — such as lifting the baby above you while you lie on your back.

Invite Other New Moms Also: Invite other new moms to join you for a daily walk, or try a post-pregnancy exercise class at a nearby fitness club, or hospital.

Remember to drink plenty of water before, during and after each workout. Stop exercising immediately if you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath or a sudden increase in vaginal bleeding. These might be signs that you’re overdoing it.

Target what you can achieve- Set realistic weight-loss goals

Most women lose more than 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) during childbirth, including the weight of the baby, placenta and amniotic fluid. During the first week after delivery, you’ll lose additional weight as you shed retained fluids — but the fat stored during pregnancy won’t disappear on its own.This is the important fat on which your baby’s life was dependent.

Regular committed diet and exercise, will help you loose up to approx. 1 pound (0.5 kilogram) a week. It might take six months or even longer to return to your pre-pregnancy weight, whether you’re breast-feeding or not. Even then, your weight might be distributed differently from how it was before pregnancy.

Be gentle with yourself as you accept the changes in your body. Above all, take pride in your healthy lifestyle and in the process of loving your child, love yourself!!

COCONUT OIL, MAKE IT YOUR NEW BFF, ITS WORTH IT

Coconut Oil is one of the absolute hottest product in the beauty & wellness industry now!

With its many uses, affordability, and accessibility, it’s apparent as to why popularity has grown within recent years.  Also, the oil addresses everything from dry scalp, dehydrated skin, frizzy hair, lackluster complexion, weight gain, and more. But before you say hello to your newest beauty BFF, let’s break down how to use it correctly:

DO: Use as a hydrating hair mask, applying from the roots to tip overnight to repair dry, dehydrated, and damaged ends.

DON’T: If you are allergic to coconuts, you’ll probably be allergic to the oil as well. Be sure to consult with your doctor or allergist prior to use if you suspect a problem.

DO: Apply to a bare, freshly washed face as a moisturizer for those in need of some major hydration. Smooth onto the body as well if needed!

DON’T: Apply to the face as a makeup primer, as the oil does not grab onto makeup well.

DO: Take a teaspoon daily for added fiber and to aid in the prevention of diseases. Coconut oil is made up of lauric acid, which, when present in the body, is converted into monolaurin, a compound that is highly toxic to viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other micro organisms. 

DON’T: Consume large amounts daily, as the wonder oil still has a high content of saturated fat, which is fine in small doses but large quantities will cause weight gain rather than regulating and boosting weight loss.

DO: Add a bit onto cheekbones for a bit of natural glow, but just be sure to apply over your makeup and avoid using too much product, as this oil melts to touch. For best results, choose a pure virgin or extra-virgin coconut oil (preferably organic) that is unrefined, cold-pressed, and non-hydrogenated. As for availability, check your local grocery store or health foods store to purchase.
