Colours we wear reflect dramatically on our look, style and mood; they also affect how others perceive us.   Our fashion director tells us how we can manipulate our style with hardly any effort by wearing the right colours.  She says “in order to make an entrance, you need to know what colours say about you!”

Red gets women noticed, it also shows a strong and outgoing character and personality, if you are the shy type stay away from reds, as an alternative your best bet is to go for red accessories like a leather bag, cashmere scarf or a stylish pair of gloves.   To achieve the perfect  look avoid wearing too much makeup or jewellery, and instead invest in well-tailored outfits like jackets, dresses and pencil skirts.

Beige and neutral colours dictate sophistication and class.  They also flatter the body shape.  With pastels and beige women look more feminine and creative.  Blondes and redheads look best in soft colours. Makeup has to be more defined.  And to for the perfect polished look, make sure to compliment pastel clothes with clashing darker accessories.

White is usually associated with youth and purity, it is also a tricky colour and not very easy to wear.  You can enjoy white if you follow some simple tips. For example white suits brunettes and off-white works best on blondes.  Be careful with makeup and use only neutral tones like light peach or light brown.

Black is a colour associated with power, it also plays various roles in a woman’s wardrobe, from an office look to an a stunning evening gown, every woman should have at least one black outfit in her wardrobe.  Black is great as it suits all body shapes and all skin tones.  As for makeup, this colour dictates glamour, so pay extra attention to your eyes, lips and hair.
