Black, charcoal and navy are regarded as high credibility, power colours and so they tend to dominate professional dressing. Want to know how you can wear your business suit and make an impression in a sea of corporate look-alikes? Want to know how you can get by with less clothing items and give the illusion of an extensive, well-coordinated wardrobe?
This month’s newsletter explains how to add colour in your dressing and do it with style. These simple steps describe how to wear colour and will assist you in planning your wardrobe. These principles apply to women and men.
All about colour

1. Choose neutral tones as the foundation of your wardrobe. Colours include black, grey, white, cream, beige, brown and navy. These neutrals are flexible and versatile colours that you can mix and match to create many different looks.

2. Add basic colours that are solid, not print. They include the red, blue and green colour families. Varying shades of the basic colours team beautifully with the neutrals.

3. Next add any other colours to create interest, flair and diversity in your wardrobe. Here’s where you can really display your individuality.

4. Now create interest in your attire by adding texture. Self- prints, jacquards, boucles, etc will extend your options for mix and match.

5. Finally add prints to complete your look. Be sure they include your most complementary colours. Scarves, wraps, ties and pocket handkerchiefs are all fabulous pieces to experiment with print.

Want to know more? A personal colour analysis will identify colours that you can wear to best effect to balance and harmonise with your natural colouring.

Knowing your colours will save you time because shopping, dressing and packing will be easier. Your wardrobe will be more streamlined as garments work together and can be mixed and matched to create many outfits. Therefore creating the illusion of an extensive wardrobe.

tips of the month

For her - storing your leather handbag

Many leather handbags are sold with a cloth storage bag. If not, use something such as a pillowcase. Do not store leather bags in plastic - this will encourage mould.

For him - storing your ties

When you remove your tie, roll it so it will maintain its shape. Do not hang or fold your ties. Pulling your knotted tie over your head will stretch the fabric and storing it still knotted will leave creases.
