Are there any colours that you know just don’t suit you and yet you’ve seen them on other people and they look great?  If so, then it’s probably down to your complexion, hair and eye colour.

Knowing and finding the right colours that suit you and avoiding colours you don’t, can really change how you look and feel.  It’s not a fad or the latest gimmick, we genuinely do look and feel better wearing some colours more than others.  For example, what emotions do you associate with yellow?  Now what about black?  How about red?

The colours we wear, as well as see, can make a significant difference to both our mood and how others see us.

It’s for this reason I recommend my clients have a colour consultation to find out what colours best suit them before we start looking at the right styles for their shape.

When you get your colours right, you look healthier, appear more vibrant, and even look younger.

It can also be a great pick me up when you are feeling a little low or flat.

On the other hand, wearing the wrong colours can make you look drained or even poorly.  The best thing is, you only need a colour consultation once in your life, so it’s a great investment.

Particularly the earlier you do it!  Trust me, you’ll save a small fortune in the long run.

Worth every penny

There are other benefits to ‘knowing your colours’.  This includes how much easier it makes it to buy new clothes.

Plus you’ll need fewer clothes as you’ll be able to mix and match garments to create lots of different outfits as garments with complementing colour tones work well together.

Hence why the initial cost of a colour consultation is worth every penny.

If you’ve yet to have your colours analysed (to find out which tones complement your skin tone), doing so before the start of a shopping spree if worth your while.

The Autumn/Winter 2023 trends have hit the shops, so first things first is to see if what you already own can form part of the foundation of your new season’s wardrobe?

This will help establish whether it’s time to invest in some new garments, without completely changing your wardrobe (which is expensive, unnecessary and far from eco-friendly too).

This way you can focus on the new season colours you really like and ones which boost your mood.

Here is a link via my friends at Kettlewell, to help you find a colour expert to assist.  You will find me listed here too:

Just one thing, do make sure your stylist is well trained and has all the tools to do your consultation properly, and please check their reviews.

Don’t worry if your finances can’t stretch to employing an expert, as I have another blog, a ‘colour analysis’ DIY guide to help you, the link of which is at the end of this blog.

It’s no way as good as having a professional consultation but you will find it helpful.

By the way, a colour consultation also makes a great gift.  See my Gift Voucher page for more information.
