Did you know that colour is a key element that can determine if clothes will flatter your or not? We tend to be attracted to colours that we like and that flatter us. However against our own better judgment there are things that conspire against our will such as fashion, family, friends and lack of time.
Saving your money with the help of a colour consultant
There are some pieces of clothes that we will wear time and time again, whilst we have a wardrobe full of clothes that rarely get to see a first wear. We tend to favor clothes that are neutral in colour as they tend to be more easy to assemble such as blacks and grey. Not having a sound knowledge of how colour works and in particular how colour effects us we tend to shop in an adhoc and random manner. We then find ourselves with a wardrobe full of clothes which do not match rather than having clothes that effortlessly and seamlessly co-ordinate.
One of the great benefits of having a colour analysis is that you learn how to develop an integrated wardrobe of clothes. When you begin to only buy garments that are in your best colours you create a wardrobe of items that mix and match. Virtually all your tops can be worn with all your pants, skirts and jackets. Your shoes and accessories can also be worn with many garments rather than a few. This greatly expands your options and provides you with a wonderful array of possible outfits for a much smaller financial outlay.
Colour consultants raising your self worth
When you are shown how flattering your best colours are for you, it's hard not to feel good about yourself. Your best colours make your skin appear radiant, healthy and youthful. They bring out the highlights in your hair and the colour of your eyes. They make you the star rather than what you are wearing.
Colour consultants helping you increase your confidence levels.
Becoming more confident when dressing and shopping by increasing your knowledge on:
- how to look fabulous, easily
- how to shop, discerningly
- how to resist fads, firmly
- how to co-ordinate, effectively,
the more your own self confidence will increase.
Opening your eyes to colour and the endless choices.
There is a misconception that when having a colour analysis that you are provided with a small selection of colours to choose from; quite the contrary. You will be limited only by your imagination as you will be taught how to combine your colours in creative limitless ways. Your options will be endless.
Colour Consultants can educate you.
You will be shown how to work with textures, fabric surfaces, patterns and contrast levels. The choices you make with these elements are as important as colour itself.
We all have our own contrast levels and textural preferences. When we understand these things about ourselves we can understand why we are drawn to certain patterns and fabrics.
With the education come order and organization. Our wardrobe becomes effective and functional and our shopping is sensible and systematic. We gained control over our own image rather than being slaves to fashion.
