The hidden cost of buying the wrong colours
One unsuitable purchase may not seem like a major problem.
But over time, those purchases add up.
A top bought because it was on sale.
A dress that looked perfect on the website.
A jacket in a fashionable shade that never quite works with anything else.
A jumper you love on the hanger but never feel confident wearing.
Before long, you have spent hundreds of pounds on clothes that are barely worn.
The cost is not only financial.
It also creates:
- A cluttered wardrobe.
- More difficult outfit decisions.
- Clothes that do not coordinate.
- Frustrating shopping trips.
- A feeling that your wardrobe is never quite complete.
The answer is rarely to buy more.
The answer is to understand what is missing.
Very often, that missing piece is colour.
What changes when you know your best colours?
Knowing your colour season gives you a clear framework for shopping and dressing.
Instead of guessing, you can quickly identify shades that are more likely to enhance your natural colouring.
You begin to notice which neutrals make the best foundation for your wardrobe.
You understand which reds, blues, greens, pinks and purples are most flattering on you.
You can also make better decisions about:
- Coats and jackets.
- Tops worn close to your face.
- Scarves and accessories.
- Makeup.
- Jewellery.
- Hair colour.
- Occasionwear.
Shopping becomes more focused because you are no longer distracted by every colour in the shop.
You know what to look for.
You know what is worth trying on.
You also know when to leave something behind, even when it is tempting.
