Color and Style Your Wardrobe for You

3 Feb

Maintaining a most up-to-date wardrobe will not ensure you looking your best – it is really about choosing the correct colors and styles that will enhance your appearance. People pay hundreds of dollars to have professionals analyze their skin tones, hair color, and body shape to subsequently create a personalized color palette and style guide for them.

The colors are often chosen to draw attention to the clients’ features, such as bringing out the color of their eyes. Rather then dulling their face, individuals can now choose colors that complement their face and features. Likewise, there are certain styles that look better on a specific body shapes and completely unflattering on another. For example, a person with a long torso and short legs may want to wear high-waisted skirts to extend their legs and appear more proportional.

The color system has been devised from the four seasons: summer, autumn, winter, and spring – and further sub-categorized. Collegefashion.com, Style-makeover-hq.com, and Beauty-and-the-bath.com give free basic tutorials on choosing your colors. Colortools.com sells color analysis kits to help you determine your own palette inexpensively. If you do not feel confident doing this on your own, it may be worth a one-time expense and have a professional do it for you.

Some businesses have begun to incorporate color analysis on their online stores. Online make-up retailer Colormebeautiful.com directs you to your season of make up colors based on your hair color.

Examples of body shapes are pear shape, hour glass shape, and inverted triangle shape. Style-makeover-hq.com has a list of all the body types with links to appropriate style for each one. Stylecaster.com allows you to explore the latest looks based on body shapes.
