Finding Clothing Colors to Suit You

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

The colors you wear can make a stunning effect on a person’s overall look. Take a look at yourself in the mirror with a white background and in natural daylight. Your eyes — what color are they? What about your hair? How light is your skin: are you fair, tan or dark-skinned? Do you have blue or orangey undertones in your skin – make a note of all the colors that you observe.Matching the color of your hair and eyes is a simple method. For instance, you can pair your green eyes with a Kelly green shirt and consider doing the same with your accessories. Put together different shades of a color to make a matching outfit. The main thing is to aim to put colors near your face that bring out the best out in your hair and eyes tones.

Is your skin coloring cool or warm? You can tell by the way you tan. Warm colored skins turn brown when they get a lot of sun – if that’s you you’re a warm. Basically skin that has more of a bluish or pinkish tinge to it is known as a cool. The skin is dark brown, olive, pale or ruddy. Warm-toned people have skin with a golden tinge, also ranging from very dark to pale. Cool toned people look best in pure white and jewel colors that are bluish such as green, purple and blue. Warm-toned people are suited to ivory and earth tones that are orange-hued. Examples of these are brown, orange and yellow.

Discover your ‘season’.

Learn what season you are considered to be. If you have pale blond hair or red hair, light colored eyes and skin that is fair and delicate, you are a spring. Select soft colors that remind you of spring (like green, pale blue, golden yellow) and stay away from boring colors like black and white or gray. If you have naturally blond or brown hair with light skin and eyes, you are a summer. You should go for black, white, pastels and blue tones. Basically your skin has more of a bluish or pinkish tinge to it. Autumns have earth-toned skin, such as golden-brown or bronze and usually have red or brown hair with brown eyes. The best colors for autumn or fall consist of oranges, golds, beiges and gray. Stay away from black and white, pastels and blues. People who have dark hair and eyes are classified as winters. Great colors for you are navy blue, cool blue, gray, emerald green, icy pink and white. Don’t get muted or earthy colors.

These are the secrets to a great look simply by selecting the right colors. Accentuating your best aspects can be fun.

Beauty And Women

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Human nature is endowed with extraordinary ability to see, understand and appreciate beauty. Be it the beauty in art, nature or the human body. Many will agree that the concept of beauty is applicable in fashion too, in which women play an important role. People’s sense of beauty differs, which creates the plethora of styles and tastes as well as the ability to choose from it, picking out what best reflects our personality. The tall, slender teenager still rules the contemporary fashion world and the whole of the fashion industry is dedicated to her. I often read the magazine People. There’s hardly any edition without a photograph of Nicole Richie, who is the beauty ideal for many teenage girls. Again, people have different tastes. I see a sad, exhausted woman on the brink of dystrophy. This is the result of the fashion cult. In their search for perfection, often already slim women try to bring their weight even lower by going to the gym, dieting and taking respective medication. You see, you’re only charming and pretty, if you fit into size S clothes, which assures the access to the category of beautiful people, even if it comes at the price of your health.

Human body structure is determined by numerous factors such as genetic sequence, life style, diet and personality. The body changes with age too. There are many adult women of normal size. Sadly, there are a lot fewer designers who are interested in their needs. Is it true that all these women can do in a fashionable clothes shop is get disappointed. The skirt or jacket they really like is always too small. The advantage of an adult woman is that she soon realises that it is not her size that’s out of standard, but rather the sizes of the clothes. Thus, she will look for solutions at the designer shops that offer original clothes of all sizes rather than trouble themselves with diets in order to fit into size L clothes that she wore ten years ago! I always admire girls wearing several layers of clothes with lank laps. They are often art students or simply creative personalities. It is a welcome choice, as they at least look original. Their clothes are often self-made; they are usually wearing simple, hand made but innovative accessories that could make many jewellery designers jealous. This is the phase of the creative quest for identity that helps develop a subtle style. Surely, women and girls belonging to this category do not necessarily meet the contemporary fashion standards. They are inventive, stylish and elegant people who in their own search for perfection and beauty ideal have learnt to respect their body and their confidence surpasses the often false charms of fashion.
