Moody brings to mind dark colors but edgy&nbsp;makes me think more&nbsp;about style and attitude&nbsp;that includes&nbsp;"hard" (one way to interpret edgy) or "cutting edge" as in trendy even shocking, or utilitarian as in slightly gear-ish interpretations of clothing.<br />I do think metals, metallic colors,&nbsp;and unusual fabrics and&nbsp; jewelry/belts/bags&nbsp;would have to do more of the heavy lifting when black is not in the mix, so I agree with the above suggestions of exploring what trims, fabrics&nbsp;and embellishments are most "you" , and then look for those combined with your colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-look-with-popsicle-color-palette#post-1297112 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 23:07:53 +0000 Caro in Oz 1297112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say have a look at Ceit's outfit posts - she beat me to it :)<br />This post may be helpful.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/01/07/defining-edgy-style/">http://youlookfab.com/2014/01/.....dgy-style/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-look-with-popsicle-color-palette#post-1297111 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 23:07:41 +0000 annagybe 1297111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've made pastels look edgy.

Wish they had more sale items.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-look-with-popsicle-color-palette#post-1296868 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 18:42:32 +0000 Joana 1296868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I can add a hint of black here and there. But prefer not to, because simple said more thinking. I did that job removing black, and most often when you add one black item, you need a repetition of black somewhere. And at the moment I don't want to have a black accessories capsule :)<br />Metallics are ok, not sure about chains - depends on the item I ques.<br />In the end of winter I was considering engineer boots, but mostly they come in black, or I have to buy online and abroad, and that's too much fuss, so the idea is on hold at least until fall :)</p> <p>Fieldmouse, I know that store, but it is a pity they have no live stores in my country. </p> <p>Astrid, I feel you! Sometimes I am ok with those oversweet colors, but not everyday. But mostly I made peace with light summer color palette.<br />&nbsp;I'll check COSS&nbsp; thank you :)</p> <p>Suz, thank you for the advice, I wear taupe and greys quite well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-look-with-popsicle-color-palette#post-1296668 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 15:37:01 +0000 Suz 1296668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want to go a bit more urban edgy, you can try taupe, greys (including charcoal) , denim, and maybe ink blue in small doses. Another option might be some sort of dark moody cranberries touched with grey -- wearing something lighter near your face.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-look-with-popsicle-color-palette#post-1296644 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 15:09:28 +0000 Astrid 1296644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just thinking of the exact same thing. I've started a thread about color and am now thinking I might be a light summer. However, searching for inspiration on Pinterest for Light Summer mostly turns up boards like in the picture below. So not my style. </p> <p>One brand that came to mind was <a href="http://www.cosstores.com/de/" rel="nofollow">COS</a>, I don't know if you have access to that? They have a kind of avant-garde look and not only in the usual neutrals but with a lot of color thrown in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-look-with-popsicle-color-palette#post-1296587 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:20:41 +0000 fieldmouse 1296587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you looked at All Saints? <a href="http://www.allsaints.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.allsaints.com/</a> I'd say they often have fairly good examples of how to do edgy with taupe, grey, cream. They're probably mostly known for black, but lots of their pieces come in lighter neutrals as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-look-with-popsicle-color-palette#post-1296559 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:07:34 +0000 Anonymous 1296559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denim and grey sounds like a good start to the look you want. Could you add touches of black that is not near your face? How about engineer boots? Maybe even in a light color? Metallics? Heavy-ish chains? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edgy-look-with-popsicle-color-palette#post-1296544 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 13:55:52 +0000 Joana 1296544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like to do that moody edgy look from time to time. But I don't wear black, or other very dark colors. I don't wear high contrast outfits well (e.g. stark white+black) And I am not keen on studs, spikes and other statement hardware. And don't want to imitate anything metalhead or any other music related style (albeit I can listen to metal and many more, I just don't like that "I belong to that particular group of people" look).<br />After long research in seasonal color analysis, I think that I am closest to light summer. I add links to LS color palettes below. As you can see nothing says edgy as popsicle colors :D</p> <p><a href="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/30/ba/0e/30ba0e8afebaa4fce81aec3d2326ae90.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg......26ae90.jpg</a><br /><a href="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/cc/db/4b/ccdb4b62e11e411b19c14e14e54f656b.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg......4f656b.jpg</a></p> <p>I ques I can take denim blue, and say grey top, but that may be just blah, not edgy. Or make it all accessories game?<br />Looking forvard for your insight.</p>
