Why you should not wear black?

The Little Black Dress is in nearly every woman's wardrobe. The old films always had the leading ladies in their little black dress or their little black suit etc.

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 you are a Winter, don't bother to read any further! You know you can wear black very well, in what percentage and how close to your face will differ from Winter to Winter and will change as you get older of course, but basically Black is safe for you.

What about the rest of us? I used to wear a lot of black before I understood colour, in fact my wardrobe was full of it as I though it went with everything! Well, I was wrong. I was told that I was an Autumn I was very upset as I did not want to wear those "Cow Pat" colours! I love Black, Purples, Dark Greens, Blue Eyeshadow and my Pink Lipstick and I did not want any body telling me otherwise!!

Mmm, well then, what to do as I had my colours done just before I trained to become an Image Consultant, so I had to get it right really. So I experimented with, horror of horrors, Dark Brown, Moss Green, Teal. These actually went well with my one Mustard blouse, which I used to wear with a Black skirt, blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick! Oh well, you live and learn!

A few months later, I went back to wearing my Black and more horror of horrors - I looked like awfull! How could I have gone through life for so many years thinking I looked OK! I could see that Black completely drained the colour away from my face, it made me look older and ill. I no longer have any black in my wardrobe.

Good news is that you can wear black with caution. If you are a Dark Summer, make surce you do not wear it close to your face. Summers should try and use Navy, Aubergine, Dove Grey or Burgundy as a Black Alternative.

Autumn or Spring? Black is an incredibly difficult colour for us wear. It doesn't coordinate with any of our other colours and will make you ill. Springs, use: Chocolate Brown, Bright Navy, Cinnamon, Copper. Autumns: Dark Brown, Olive and Moss Green, Teal and Kingfisher, Marine Navy, Purple, Chestnut

So - Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway - you'll be amazed at how much more energy and vitality experimenting with other colours will give you, the compliments you will receive and the new lease of life your will experience. Enjoy!!

As for you Winters, we love you but also hate the fact that you look great in Black.
