Find out the key Colours always feel Confident to Wear

Written on October 8, 2008 – 2:33 am | by dodo

Here we want to find key colours you feel you have consistently worn with success throughout your life. This test is not based on image, but purely on flattering your face. Image is important, but it comes after you know your season.

Think of your most successful clothes

First, think of compliments you have received. Are people particularly responsive to you when you wear a certain suit or shirt? Don’t dwell only on the clothes currently in your wardrobe. They may be right, but they may reflect current fashion rather than being colours that truly flatter.

What colours made you feel good as a child? Your intuition was probably better then because you weren’t yet influenced by the dictates of the adult male world. One word of caution: if your mother bought all your clothes and she is a different season, she might have dressed you in her colours all through your childhood.

Now think of yourself in your favourite weekend clothes. Because of the business dress code, men often pick the Winter or Summer palettes because these seasons contain the most ‘businesslike’ colours. When a man tells me he thinks he’s a Winter but that all his casual weekend clothes are browns and beiges, I can be almost certain that he is an Autumn, simply dressing in greys and blues during the working week and wearing what really suits him on weekends.

Select a column

Now look at the groups of colours below and select the one you feel is most flattering to you. Think of all the colours in the columns as a casual shirt, turtleneck or sweater. Pick the group containing the most colours that have brought you compliments all your life, even if you’re tired of wearing them. This test is based on comparison. Each column may have some colours that you have worn, but do they all look equally good on you? Ask yourself, ‘Which group is best?’

WINTER	SUMMER	AUTUMN	SPRING
Navy	Greyish Navy	Dark Brown	Camel
Black	Blue Grey	Rust	Golden Brown
Charcoal Grey	Sky Blue	Khaki	Light Clear Blue
Burgundy	Rose Brown	Forest Green	Bright Blue
Royal Blue	Burgundy	Olive Green	Turquoise
Red	Pink	Dark Peach	Peach
Pure White	Soft White	Oyster White	Ivory

If you’re unsure

If you are deciding between two seasons, check out the colour charts for both. Which one is more you? If you’re stuck between two seasons, ask yourself the following questions.

If you are deciding between Winter and Autumn, ask

Does my face look better when I’m wearing a navy jacket, white shirt and red tie (Winter) or, say, a brown tweedy jacket, beige shirt and rust tie (Autumn)?

Do I need strong, clear colours (Winter), or can I wear muted earth tones (Autumn)? Brown-eyed Winters sometimes mistake themselves for Autumns. A Winter looks good only in a very dark black-brown (not on Winter’s colour chart). All other browns are boring on a Winter.

If you are deciding between Winter and Summer, ask

Does my face look better in a white bright shirt (Winter) or a blue shirt (Summer) with my grey suit?

Can I wear dusty pastel colours (Summer) or do these muted colours make me look washed out (Winter)?

If you are deciding between Autumn and Summer, ask

Do I look really good in dark peach, rust and brown (Autumn) or am I much better in light blue, blue-toned pinks and burgundy (Summer)?

If you are deciding between Autumn and Spring, ask

Do I look great in dark brown and bittersweet red as well as in muted colours such as mustard and khaki green (Autumn) or am I better in clear medium colours such as medium golden brown, clear red, light orange and light clear gold (Spring)? The Spring man will look drab in muted greyish colours, while the Autumn man looks brassy in the clear, brighter colours that so flatter the Spring.

If neither of these seasons seems to be working, try Summer. Sometimes a camel coat led you to choose Autumn or Spring. Summer also has beiges and browns and a type of earth quality of its own.

If you are deciding between Spring and Summer, ask

Does my face look better in camel, golden brown, salmon and bright blue (Spring) or in greyish rose brown, burgundy, blue-toned pinks and medium blue (Summer)?

If you are deciding between Spring and Winter, ask

Do I look great in a camel coat (Spring) or do I look much better in a dark navy (Winter)?

Am I really good in ivory and golden browns (Spring) or am I better in white and dark colours (Winter)? A Winter man usually recognize quickly how bad his face looks when he is wearing camel.
