Can I Really Not Wear Black?

Can I Really Not Wear Black?

By:


The Little Black Dress is in the staple of every woman's wardrobe since time began!

Sit on any commuter train on any weekday and look around the carriage. What do we see? The predominant colour of Black.

Yes it works exceptionally well for some of us, not so well for others. So who can and who can't do this successfully?

If your a Winter then Black is a safe colour for you. The amount of black will vary from person to person and will change as you get older, but you will look great in Black.

The rest of us? Well I used to wear Black a lot in my pre colour analysis days, a staple in my wardrobe because "it goes with everything doesn't it?" Actually, no, it doesn't! When I was told I was an Autumn I stamped my foot and had a tantrum, I wasn't going to wear those "cow pat" colours!! I loved my Black, Fuschia, Scarlet, Deep Purple, Emerald Green, Blue Eyeshadow and Pink Lipstick and no-one was going to tell me otherwise!!

Because I had my colours done just before starting my training as an Image Consultant I had to get it right. I experimented with Dark Brown, Moss Green, Teal and found that they worked for me. they even went really well with my Mustard blouse that I worn with my Black skirt, blue eyeshadow and pink lipsick!

Six months later, I went back to wearing my Black and more horror of horrors - I looked like Morticia from The Adams Family!! How could I have gone on for so many years thinking I looked ok as someone from a cartoon! Black completely drains all the colour from my face, it makes me look tired, older, drawn and generally rather unwell. I don't have any black anywhere in my wardrobe now, not even a pair of knickers!

Everyone else? If you are not a Winter, wear it with caution. If you are a Dark Summer, it won't be a complete disaster, but wear it away from the face, ie skirt, trousers or shoes. If you are a Light Summer, then it's likely to be too heavy for you anywhere on the body. For all Summers, try Navy, Aubergine, Dove Grey, Cornflower Blue, Burgundy as your Black alternatives. These will be far more flattering to your skin tone and will coordinate better with your other seasonal colours.

If you are an Autum or Spring avoid Black. It does not match with any of our other colours and will make us looked drained and washed out. Instead try: Chocolate Brown, Bright Navy, Copper. Autumns: Dark brown, Olive and Moss Green, Purple and Chestnut. Still do not want to throw away your Black? I promise you that you will look so much better without it.

By not wearing Black you will receive lots of compliments and feel so much better. it will give you lots of energy, and enhance your life. Enjoy!

As for you Winters, we would love to wear that Little Black Dress but we know it looks so much better on you.
