How to Choose Your Best Clothing Colors

Nearly everybody is concerned about looking his or her best, which is why so much time is spent choosing hairstyles, accessories and clothing, but no matter how good the cut of your suit or the line of your dress, you won't look your best without wearing flattering clothing colors. By choosing your best clothing colors, you can make your skin glow, your eyes sparkle and your entire look appear more pulled together. This involves working with your hair color, testing your underlying skin tone, comparing colors against your skin and hair, getting a professional color analysis, or wearing monochromatic colors for impact. The following steps will show you how to choose your best clothing colours
Steps
1.Choose the right colors for your hair color.
Blondes look great in warm and bright shades such as yellows, oranges and rusts, as well as tans and taupes.
Brunettes can wear a wide variety of colors, including greens, blues, oranges, chocolate browns and pinks.
Redheads look best in browns and oranges, as well as taupes, ivories and greens.
Those with gray hair will look good in bright colors such as red, rose, plum, purples and berry, and jewel tones such as bright blues, clear greens and bold golds. Black and a real navy blue look good, but stay away from grays and pastels, beiges and tans. In general, choose bold, bright colors to wear near your face.
2. Test your underlying skin color. Your underlying skin tone plays a large part in determining what colors suit you well.
Pinch the skin on your earlobe, the back of your hand or the tip of your finger. The skin color you see for the following few seconds is your underlying skin color.
If you see blue, pink, red-violet or rosy tones, you'll look best in cool colors.
If you see peach, golden, bright warm red or coral tones, warm colors are your best choices.
3. Compare a number of colors against your skin and hair.
Choose a variety of different colored fabrics. You want to select some that are warm, cool, muted, dark, light, and clear so you can test each against your skin and hair.
In a space that is well lit by natural light, stand in front of a mirror and hold the colors to your face one by one.
Select the colors that make you look healthy, your eyes sparkle and your skin glow.
Discard the colors that make you look sallow, washed-out, tired, pale or otherwise unhealthy.
4. Get a professional color analysis. If you can't figure out your best clothing colors yourself, seek professional advice. You can do this by making an appointment with a professional image consultant. He or she will instruct you on what colors flatter you, and give you a palette of appropriate colors you can take with you when you go clothes shopping.
5. Try to choose the colour that goes with your personality.
 Every colour means something.
Red - cool, stubborn, loves horror or romance and popular
Blue - easy going, kind, peaceful, patient, and occasionally shy
Green - likes to be alone, wonders a lot, healthy, and tomboyish
Wear colors that give you a monochromatic look. A monochromatic or single-toned look is best achieved by choosing colors in the same shade as your hair.
Tips
Colours are not a big deal so don't be so sad and mad if you didn't find the color that suits you !
If your personality suits one of the colors but you don't like that colour you don't have to like it.
