Choosing colors that are right for you!
 There are no good or bad colors, just ones that
are right for you! You can wear almost any color if you learn to choose
the right shade and intensity that will enhance your skin tone. Wearing that
perfect color can take years off your appearance and brighten your look.
Your best colors will be determined by a combination of factors
including your natural hair color, eye color and skin tone. Take a look
at the undertone of your skin in natural daylight and this will help you to
determine whether you are a "cool" or a "warm" toned person. Cool toned people
tend to have a pink or rosy skin tone. Warm toned people will have a more golden
or apricot undertone. Cool toned persons will look best in blue-based
colors; warm toned persons will look best in yellow-based colors.
This season’s delectable, bright hues can be added to your wardrobe, just
follow these easy suggestions for a fresh new look!
WARM TONES can be crisp or muted; they include natural earth colors
with gold translucent undertones. Most people with the warm skin tones look
great in the new mochas, bronzes, sage greens, and delicious mango oranges. If
this is your skin type you may also want to try the softer warm tones of peach
or apricot and the new summer yellow and apple greens.
If you prefer reds,
then look for the clear brick, a dark tomato or the burnt orange hue. Earth
greens like olive, moss, or jade enhance the warmer skin tones. This summer you
may want to add a few items with the fresh lime, grass or celery greens. Crisp
ivory or oyster whites also enhance the warm skin tone type. Colors from camel
to warm taupe to bright navy will fit well into your professional wardrobe.
Brown in your shoes and gold in your glass frames are part of your ticket for
impact!
COOL TONES are rich, true colors that have blue undertones. Cool toned
people can wear the vivid blue red beautifully; add the rich raspberries, deep
emerald greens, royal blue, plums or pure black. The softer pastels from the
blue range and rose-based pinks also nicely enhance the cool skin tones. From
the green palette choose the emerald and icy greens, as well as the aqua blue
green from the very light pastel shades to the deeper tones. The pure white or a
soft white looks great with the cool skin tones. Clear lemon yellows and rich
colors like ruby and sapphire will sweeten your wardrobe. A key color this
season is the aquatic blues and a whole range of tones that evoke the deep ocean
hues. Add some of that high voltage pink to sweeten your day!
Color can be compelling and daunting, so have some fun and dress up your
wardrobe this season!
Look great with colors
Look Great With Colours Colours can make you feel
good and presentable. Proper colours not only enhance your beauty but it also
makes you feel great. Colour is probably the most important element in the
design of any product, service, institution and your image. Colour choice
reveals personality, distinguishes work from pleasure, marks important events
and makes you more confident and focussed in life. Therefore you should learn to
enhance your personality and image by using proper colours.
Here are
some tips so that you can wear colour to your advantage:
- If you are timid or shy, wear red or strong colours and
others will perceive you as more assertive while you are still being you.
- When considering colour for business, conservative is best
- especially when meeting a new client - don't overwhelm them. Avoid white
except in shirts and blouses for work.
- Beige and grey elicit a tailored and professional image and
are great colours to incorporate into your outfit with prospective clients
because you're perceived as approachable.
- Choose a muted pastel as opposed to pinks, baby blues and
yellow in business apparel since that is appropriate for office wear and looks
decent.
- Black is best for formal attire as in suits and for evening
events.
- Navy makes everyone look good and communicates individual
authority. It's great for classic suiting as well as sportswear. The maritime
look has always and will continue to always be in fashion.
- Red, green and blue in assorted tints and shades are
suitable for all occasions; however, straight green is not appropriate for the
work place. Try olive, teal, or sage.
- If you love yellow, try shades or tints of it such as gold
and mustard.
- If you want to appear smaller incorporate dark, cool and
dull colours and textures. Dull textures absorb the light like wool or cotton.
Some very slimming colours include black, navy, olive, violet, charcoal grey,
chocolate brown, plum, eggplant and burgundy.
- If you want an area to appear larger choose light, bright
and/or shiny colours and textures. Shiny fabrics reflect light making an image
appear larger.
- If you want to appear taller, wear colours from the same
colour family such as blue, navy and teal. Otherwise known as a monochromatic
colour scheme, colour is wavelength and when wearing two different colours, the
eye has to stop briefly to adjust to the different wavelength. When wearing
colours from the same colour family the eye doesn't have to adjust.
- Finally, when it comes to colour, wear the colour that
makes YOU feel good and suit you (yes, when you are feeling blue - wear blue)
and ones you receive complements on. It may not be the best one for your
complexion but it is the best one for.
Colour & Personality
 What colour do
you prefer? Colour theorists predict personality on color preferences. Here is a
simple list of some of their predictions:
If you like blue, you are competent, capable, resourceful, and a good
money maker.
If you like yellow, you are
intellectual, self assured, sensible, confident, and secure.
If you like red, you are active, impulsive, out-spoken, admired,
dynamic, and high-spirited.
If you like green, you are friendly, natural, outgoing,
congenial, indulgent, and traditional.
Here are also some fashion tips
for a better you:
Slouching adds pounds! Practice holding your chin
and stomach in to improve posture and look thinner.
Tight elastic produce
bulges.
A little looser (like salwars) is always better.
Keep
your problem areas covered. For example, if your thighs are heavy do not wear
shorts.
