The Luxury of Restraint: Why Neutrals Define Timeless Elegance

by Stephanie Williams

Have you ever wondered about the psychology behind color, and how it ties in with trending fashions of Nexus Point Luxe? While we here at Nexus Point Luxe do not necessarily subscribe to a certain color philosophy or tradition, we do pay attention to what is timeless as well as what suits us in terms of trending colors as a brand. Our mode of expressing fashion intends to inspire and motivate, and taking a look at the psychology behind color trends helps us to better understand ourselves.

So, if you care about color palette, then what inspires and motivates you, particularly within luxury fashion?

Blue

The soothing nature of blue can indicate emotions of relaxation, calmness, or trust. It can be light and timid, both gentle and nourishing. There are many shades of blue, some of which seem harsher, others of which seem more melancholic and less energized, than others. Regardless, blue is a color that generally signifies emotions like placidness, serenity, and purity of intentions, although it comes in a variety of shades and hues.

Brown

If you’d like a grounding sense of sophistication, elegance, and warmth, ‘tis the season for brown. This upcoming autumn at Nexus Point Luxe, you can find earthy brown tones to stabilize your colorful, maybe chaotic, summer. The muted nature of brown can sometimes seem dull to those who misunderstand its allure, but it keeps things neutralized when life gets a bit too hectic. Brown, while boring on the surface, can potentially bring unity and grounding to an ever changing, unstable world. Check out our latest fall collection at Nexus Point Luxe to get the inside scoop.

Red

While red can sometimes be mistaken as exuberant, much like with blue, it depends on its exact shade and hue as to the psychology or deeper meaning behind it. Brighter shades of red can be volatile, igniting emotions like anger, fury, danger, or fear, while musky shades of red can signify passion, love, or sensuality. At Nexus Point Luxe, we don’t strive to be overtly colorful, as we prefer to keep our palettes minimalistic with slight pops of vibrancy here and there. But red is on trend for us, especially for the autumn season, since it corresponds well with brown, which is our signature color for this upcoming season.
