Mastering Your Colour Wheel - What Colour Clothing Suits You?

In the words of Coco Chanel, 'the best colour in the world is the one that looks good on you'. But how do we decide what colour that is? It's widely appropriate that not every colour looks good on everyone. We've all seen person in a phenomenal emerald green blouse and then tried one on ourselves only to find that it simply doesn't work. This is because there are distinct colours that match our skin tone, hair and eye colouring, and others that don't. While our unique genetic make-up means that no two habitancy in the world look the same, there are distinct bodily attributes that are shared by groups of people. Based on these shared attributes, here's a quick guide on how to decide which colours best suit you.

Skin tone - Skin tones are commonly divided into warm and cool. A warm skin tone commonly has yellow, beige, brown and olive undertones that tend to suit yellow, red and brown coloured clothing. A cool skin tone is characterised by blue, rose, pink, purple undertones and suits clothing in blue, green and purple colours.

Contrast - The greater the inequity between your skin tone and hair colour, the sharper and starker colours you can get away with wearing. If you have fairly homogenous skin, hair and eye colouring then muted colours will look better on you.

Hair colour - Those with some red in their hair - either it be a rich brown or strawberry blonde - will suit warm, autumnal colours and will do well to steer clear of the unflattering starkness that black clothing brings. Those with blonde or light coloured hair, on the other hand, can get away with wearing black, and also suit cool and keen colours, such as greys, turquoise, pink and emeralds. How does this work in practical terms? If shopping for a smart and professional work outfit, a black wrap dress from Charlie Brown will suit blondes while brunettes and red-heads should look for softer, warmer toned clothing.

There are many advantages to knowing what colour palette and range suits you and then shopping accordingly. Knowing which coloured clothes you need to buy will significantly cut your shopping time. When seeing at a rack of clothes you'll immediately have an idea of what will, and what will not, suit you. distinct brands also specialise in distinct colours - head to Jag, for example, if you're seeing for plain and strong colours. Knowledge of your personal colour wheel will also make it easier to shop from home. When shopping online you'll be able to as a matter of fact gauge either clothing items suit your skin and hair tones. Don't forget, however, that collection is the spice of life! Avoid a wardrobe full of clothing in the same colour. Rather, mix and match your clothing colours to give your outfits vibrancy and variance.
