Are you wearing black to be safe?

By: Katie Day

The Little Black Dress - a staple of every woman's wardrobe since time immemorial! All the old films always had the leading ladies in their little black dress, their little black suit etc. etc.

Sit on any commuter train on any weekday and look around the carriage. What do we see? The predominant colour of Black.

Yes it works exceptionally well for some of us, not so well for others. So who can and who can't do this successfully?

If your a Winter then Black is a safe colour for you. The amount of black will vary from person to person and will change as you get older, but you will look great in Black.

The rest of us? Well I used to wear Black a lot in my pre colour analysis days, a staple in my wardrobe because "it goes with everything doesn't it?" Actually, no, it doesn't! When I was told I was an Autumn I stamped my foot and had a tantrum, I wasn't going to wear those "cow pat" colours!! I loved my Black, Fuschia, Scarlet, Deep Purple, Emerald Green, Blue Eyeshadow and Pink Lipstick and no-one was going to tell me otherwise!!

As I had my colours done just before I my training to become an Image Consultant, I had to get it right. I experimented with, horror of horrors, Dark Brown, Moss Green, Teal. I was really surprised at how well they worked for me. Oh well, you live and learn!

Six months later, I tried on some black clothes again. It was horrible! I looked old, tired and rather unwell. For years my main colour had been Black. From that day on I have never purchased any Black clothes - not even a pair of knickers!

If you are a Summer, you should not wear any black close to your face. Try using Navy, Grey or Burgandy instead of Black. This will be more flattering and will coordinate with your other seasonal colours.

Autumn or Spring? Black is an incredibly difficult colour for us wear. It doesn't coordinate with any of our other colours and will make you ill. Springs, use: Chocolate Brown, Bright Navy, Cinnamon, Copper. Autumns: Dark Brown, Olive and Moss Green, Teal and Kingfisher, Marine Navy, Purple, Chestnut

By not wearing Black you will receive lots of compliments and feel so much better. it will give you lots of energy, and enhance your life. Enjoy!

As for you Winters, we would love to wear that Little Black Dress but we know it looks so much better on you.
