Your color
The wrong colors can make you look older, heavier, tired and even ill (of course you could use this to your advantage if you wanted to take a sickie!). The wrong colors also often wear you, so that people see your clothes before they see you (a friend might say “that color shirt is great ).Not only do the correct colors for you make you look healthier, younger, slimmer and brighter.
Now your friends say you look great .
Colors also affects our mood and emotions, our perceived body shape and the overall impression we make on others.
So why would you wear anything other than the colors that suit you best?

Color Analysis Season
color analysis season categorizes people into one of four categories: Winter, Summer, Autumn and Spring. The categories are named after the seasons and the colors found together in nature to help you remember the range of colors they include. Your seasonal color range will complement the coloring of your skin, hair and eyes .
Your main seasonal color has these attributes and so do clothing colors. When you know your flow season, to determine if an item of clothing is the correct color for you look for colors with attributes that most closely match your seasonal colors attributes. Keeping this in mind helps if you’ve forgotten your swatch or the exact color isn’t in your swatch.
color analysis Winter are cool, clear and dark to light intensity. Think of the winter landscape colors. In the low light of winter colors appear darker, but on a bright day with the sun reflecting off snow colors appear pale and icy.
color analysis Summerare also cool, but muted and medium-light to medium-dark intensity. Think of seeing the landscape through a summer heat haze. The colors are muted, paler versions of Winters. The light colors are creamy pastel rather than icy.
