As someone who has dedicated her life to the art of fashion, I've witnessed first hand the incredible impact that the right colours can have on one's appearance and confidence.
It's not just about dressing up—it's about embracing your unique radiance and exuding confidence at any age. So, my lovely ladies, let's delve into the enchanting realm of colour and unlock the secrets to looking and feeling utterly fabulous, no matter the number of candles on your birthday cake!
My dearest ladies, finding your clothing colour palette, like discovering a treasure trove, is key to unlocking your sartorial masterpiece. But fret not, for I am here to share some colour theory in fashion and guide you through this delightful journey!
Ah, the canvas upon which we paint our sartorial masterpiece—the skin! Your skin tone holds the key to unlocking the palette of colours that will make you shine like the radiant goddess you are.
First, let's determine whether your skin tone leans towards the warmth of a summer sunset or the coolness of a crisp winter morning.
If your veins appear more blueish, you likely have a cool undertone, while greenish veins often indicate a warm undertone. And for my beauties with a mix of both, you may have a neutral undertone, allowing you to dance gracefully between warm and cool shades.
Because your look is cool and pinkish, all your colours need to have a cool undertone, preferably with some contrast. You will always look best in medium to deep colours. If you wear brown, balance it with cool shades from your palette, such as peacock or apple.
The cool palette has a wide variety of light and dark colours and clear and soft colours. The best colour combination types for you are either to use the lighter brighter colours in the palette or to do so with a lighter colour when wearing your darker shades.
Warm and inviting, like a sun-kissed embrace on a balmy summer day—those with warm undertones often have peachy or golden hues in their skin. Their hair may be golden blonde, coppery red, or rich brown, and their eyes can range from hazel and brown to amber. They possess a sunny disposition and an infectious enthusiasm for life's simple pleasures.
Embrace the golden glow of earthy tones like rich yellows, burnt oranges, and warm browns, and feel the warmth envelop you like a cosy blanket.
Because your overall look is warm, the golden rule is to balance it by choosing colours that have a warm undertone. You will always look best in colours that are medium in depth, rather than light or deep. When wearing navy or grey, warm them up with tones from the palette below.
Soft, subtle, and effortlessly elegant—those with a soft color classification often have skin with a neutral or slightly warm undertone that has a soft, muted quality. Their hair may be a blend of light to medium browns or soft shades of blonde, and their eyes tend to be hazel, soft blue, or green. They possess a quiet strength and a deep sense of inner peace.
Picture yourself enveloped in the delicate beauty of soft pastels and muted neutrals, and feel the tranquillity wash over you like a gentle breeze.

Bold, vibrant, and unapologetically confident—those with a clear colour classification often have skin with a clear, bright quality and cool undertones. Their hair may be deep brown or black with a high contrast against their skin, and their eyes can range from bright blue to intense brown. They possess a magnetic charisma and a fearless spirit that captivates all who encounter them.
Embrace the electrifying energy of vibrant hues like true reds, emerald greens, and clear blues, and feel the power surge through you like an electric current.
Because your look is contrasting you need to wear your colours in a way that balances this. You will always look good in a contrast of light and dark colours. If you wear more muted colours like light taupe and pewter, liven them up with brighter shades from your palette.
If you dress in a single colour, make sure it is one of the most vivid from your palette. If your personality type makes you uncomfortable wearing very bright colours, use accessories to add colour to your look: bright scarves, necklaces or earrings will also give you the contrast you need.
Mysterious, sultry, and endlessly captivating—those with deep color classification often have rich, dark skin with warm undertones that may have a high contrast against their hair and eyes. Their hair may be deep brown or black, and their eyes can range from deep brown to black or intense shades of hazel. They possess an air of mystery and intrigue that leaves a lasting impression on all who cross their path.
Picture yourself draped in sumptuous shades like deep plum, navy blue, and forest green, and feel the allure of their opulent beauty envelop you like a cloak of darkness.
These colours can be used as block colours or in prints. Being classified as a Deep, you should wear pale or pastel colours sparingly, these will always look better on you when worn with dark or bright colours. Be bold and choose bright colours from your palettes such as deep reds, kiwi, topaz and lemon.
Airy, angelic, and impossibly chic—those with a light colour classification often have fair to light skin with cool undertones that may have a delicate, porcelain quality. Their hair may be blonde or light brown with soft, cool tones, and their eyes tend to be blue, grey, or green. They possess a gentle, otherworldly grace that seems to float on air.
Picture yourself enveloped in shades like soft peach, baby blue, and delicate lilac, and feel the weightlessness of their delicate beauty lift your spirits to new heights.
My dear ladies, remember that while these guidelines serve as a compass, there are no rules set in stone when it comes to fashion and style. The most important thing is to wear what makes you feel beautiful, confident, and utterly fabulous!
