22 September 2016
Replenishing your wardrobe provides you with a new opportunity to swap your old clothes for new ones, all fresh and beautiful. While some may privilege a radical change of style or color, others simply remain faithful to their old habits. We now witness faster and more outright choices, which doesn’t mean they are necessarily the best. How does one combine the colors of his clothes? What colors blend together and which blends of colors should be avoided at all costs? In this article, we’re providing you with some tips that will enable you to find the right color for your thawb.
The draping process
Not everybody can afford to hire an image consultant. However, there are several methods that enable us, all by ourselves, to find the colors that suit us the best. The draping process consists of a color diagnosis and is the process which is most often used by image consultants. In order to find and choose the colors that blend best for us, we simply use fabrics of different colors by placing them near our face.
By scrolling through different colors in front of the mirror, we may immediately notice which ones brighten or spoil our complexion. Likewise, we may notice the shades that highlight the color of our eyes or beautify our hair. Identifying the colors that suit us the most is essential while updating our new wardrobe. To be entirely certain of the choice you made, do not hesitate to seek advice from acquaintances.
The colorimetric analysis
There is another way to determine the colors that suit you the most ; the colorimetric test. It is simple to conduct, accessible to all and based on three well-defined aspects: eye color, skin tone and natural hair color. To develop a coherent style, one should pay attention to these three criteria and make sure he knows what season he belongs to. Indeed, all colors are not worn in the same manner and it is therefore important to know whether you rather lean toward colors that are warm or cold, muted or bright, sober or flaming. To make it short, we all belong to a season and here’s how to find yours.
Colors and Seasons
The color temperature is divided into four seasons. The colors for summer and winter are of cold temperature while the colors for spring and autumn are considered of warm temperature. The colors that match our person the best are defined according to hair color, skin pigmentation and eye color.
The season of spring
Skin complexion is a defining and very important criterion for your season. If you have a skin complexion that is fair, rosy, porcelain, peaches-and-cream or ivory with possible freckles, and you have difficulty tanning, then you belong to the season of spring. Likewise, if your eyes are blue, gray-blue, light-green, hazel or golden brown, then spring is definitely your season.
