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 you are a Winter, you are very lucky! You can wear black very well, what type of combinations with other colours will depend on how close to your face will differ from Winter to Winter and it will change as you get older, but Black is safe for you. 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!! Because I had my colours done just before starting my training as an Image Consultant I had to get it right. I experimented with Dark Brown, Moss Green, Teal and found that they worked for me. they even went really well with my Mustard blouse that I worn with my Black skirt, blue eyeshadow and pink lipsick! 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! Everyone else? If you are not a Winter, wear it with caution. If you are a Dark Summer, it won't be a complete disaster, but wear it away from the face, ie skirt, trousers or shoes. If you are a Light Summer, then it's likely to be too heavy for you anywhere on the body. For all Summers, try Navy, Aubergine, Dove Grey, Cornflower Blue, Burgundy as your Black alternatives. These will be far more flattering to your skin tone and will coordinate better with your other seasonal colours. If you are an Autum or Spring avoid Black. It does not match with any of our other colours and will make us looked drained and washed out. Instead try: Chocolate Brown, Bright Navy, Copper. Autumns: Dark brown, Olive and Moss Green, Purple and Chestnut. Still do not want to throw away your Black? I promise you that you will look so much better without it. Go on - drop the Black. You will be amazed at how much better you look and the extra energy it will give you. As for you Winters, we would love to wear that Little Black Dress but we know it looks so much better on you.
