Can I really not wear Black?

By: Katie Day

The Little Black Dress is in nearly every woman's wardrobe. The old films always had the leading ladies in their little black dress or their little black suit etc.

Visit any office and look around you. Most people will be weraing 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, don't bother to read any further! You know you can wear black very well, in what percentage and how close to your face will differ from Winter to Winter and will change as you get older of course, but basically Black is safe for you.

What about the rest of us? I used to wear a lot of black before I understood colour, in fact my wardrobe was full of it as I though it went with everything! Well, I was wrong. I was told that I was an Autumn I was very upset as I did not want to wear those "Cow Pat" colours! I love Black, Purples, Dark Greens, Blue Eyeshadow and my Pink Lipstick and I did not want any body telling 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!

Good news is that you can wear black with caution. If you are a Dark Summer, make surce you do not wear it close to your face. Summers should try and use Navy, Aubergine, Dove Grey or Burgundy as a Black Alternative.

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 love you but also hate the fact that you look great in Black.
