~Let Color Inspire You~

When we think of giving or receiving roses, we often think of love and adoration ... and if we are really in tune with the deeper aspect of color, we also consider the color of the rose and what that color symbolizes. For instance, if you receive a single red rose or a bouquet of red roses, you'll often think of romantic love. Yellow roses would put us in the mind of a "friendship love" while white roses might symbolize purity, marriage and new beginnings. Color symbology is not some clever concept some random person thought up while sitting around bored, but colors truly do have energies or vibrations if you open yourself up to them!

Not only do color frequencies and energy resonate through the gesture of giving roses, but color energy resonates through all things! Ever feel a certain way, but have no clue as to why? This could have a whole lot to do with the colors around you or on your body -your attire. Have you ever noticed that wearing certain colors inspire your mood in some way? For instance, if you wore a bright and  beautiful shade of yellow it more than like would lift your mood and might even make you cheery. It might be kinda hard (in general) for you to feel melancholy while adorned in such a high vibratory color. Now wearing black, on the other hand, might inspire you to feel removed from an environment and protected in a sense. You might even wear black if you wear feeling melancholy, as to conceal your emotions. 


Colors mean everything and this is why PRASM's focus is color based! We are not simply interested in trying to set trends and styles, but we have a love for using our products to change lives and lift spirits! Why not make getting dressed everyday even more meaningful?!

The best thing about the PRASM belt and sock collection is that those color frequencies work in the same way as with anything else, but the difference is that you don't have to spend much time deciding how you can use color to your advantage. No! You just simply throw on whatever color-style belt or socks move you for the day and you allow those color energies to get you going!

So perhaps you don't want to leave the house in an orange shirt (or pants), but you want to add a touch of orange at the waste and on your feet. Well you can do this easily with an orange belt or socks. Orange promotes energy, intellect, creativity, endurance, vitality, emotional balance and so much more! If you've never entertained color symbolism, then give it a try while paying attention to the way colors affect your psyche and your energy level!


Need to get your passion up for an event, a person, a project...  wear red. Red promotes courage, passion, strength, power, determination, recognition, respect, physical energy and more. And it doesn't matter how much of a color you're rocking ... it can be just an accent of red and it'll still serve the same purpose. Red nail polish would also serve the same purpose! So would a PRASM belt or socks! It doesn't take much.

Have to give a speech or do you need to have a serious conversation with someone? Feeling uneasy, unbalanced or unsettled? Wearing the color blue brings out good communication, peace, tranquility, calmness, and balance. Blue also promotes truth, loyalty, an active intuition, stability, hope, faith, an open mind and so much more! 


Open yourself up to color energies and become aware of that which you are attracting to yourself. Don't underestimate the power of color!


In the next post, I will cover all the colors in a list or chart form! In the meantime, you could research some of the metaphysical color properties on your own! It's fun... really it is! Turn the simple things in life, like getting dressed, into something with a deeper, more meaningful purpose! To find our PRASM collection, please visit our website here!

Also, don't forget that if you're in the St. Louis area, you can also stop by our local store as well. Find the business hours at the very bottom of this page. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of the week :)

Turn a Simple and Hot Style Into One With Meaning!

Hello guys and gals, from the folks over at PRASM! Thanks for stopping by.


In the post, Why Should You Care About Color?, we touched on the importance of color in our everyday lives and this week we want to chat a little about the significance of belts and some of the history behind them! Some of us throw a belt on everyday, so why not learn a little about how and why they became a part of our daily wardrobes?! We won't bore you with a bunch of information, so here are a few interesting facts about belts...


Belts were worn outside of the military uniform.


Did you know that:
  •  In eastern parts of Europe, such as Prussia, belts were worn by men to pull their waists in and make the chest protrude more?
  • For ascetic or spiritual reasons, people (gurus especially) wore belts as a symbol of separating the lower body (which signifies the lower nature) from the upper body (which signifies the higher nature)?
  • Belts were originally worn to symbolize a person who was no longer controlled by his carnal (or lower) urges?
  • In the western world, belts were only common for men, with the exception of the early Middle Ages, late 17th century Mantua, and skirt/blouse combinations between 1900 and 1910?
  • Belts served to draw in the waist and give the wearer a trim physique, emphasizing wide shoulders and a pouting chest?
  • Men started wearing belts in the 1920s, as trouser waists fell to a lower line? So the belts were used only for keeping a man's trousers intact!
  • Before the 1920s, belts served mainly for decorative purposes in the western world, and were associated with the military?
There are various other reasons as to why belts were originally worn. We have named only a few!

Belts have an interesting history! They served a purpose beyond simply enhancing fashion and style (and still presently serve as a higher symbol for some people)! The belt's various, less practical applications and uses is what also makes belt wearing so cool and meaningful. This brings us to our beloved PRASM brand...

PRASM belts not only serve a significant purpose through the symbolism of colors (as discussed in the post Why Should You Care About Color?), but it also serves a higher purpose simply because your wearing a belt! So you get the best of both worlds when you rock a PRASM belt -the energy from color frequencies and the spiritual and 'in-tune' symbolism of wearing a belt at the center of your body! Who knew that adorning yourself with a belt could be so significant?

PRASM is a wonderful way to link the importance of color with the importance of wearing a belt, and PRASM is the coolest way to look good while doing so!!!

Try one of our belts for yourself and be visually expressive across different levels!! You can find PRASM belts at www.PRASMClothing.com or for more contact information please scroll down to the bottom of this page! Thanks for stopping by and have a spectacular week!
