I love wearing colours. Bright colours, neon colours, pastel colours, clashing colours. They really cheer me up and make me feel happy. Sometimes I wear neutral colours and then add coloured accessories; sometimes I just opt for all over colour. The shops are awash with colourful clothes for spring summer 08 and I can’t wait to start wearing all those beautiful colours. 

When it comes to wearing colours, the key is to find your best colours; these are the colours that really make you look and feel great. In the seventies colour analysis became quite popular with TV programs like “Colour me beautiful” but there is really no need to go to an image consultant to work out what your best colours are. Look at your skin tone and work out if you have 

A warm skin tone with yellow, brown, olive or beige undertones - you will look best in clothes in the yellow, reds and browns family.

A cool skin tone with blue, purple or pink undertones - you will tend to look best in clothes in the blue, green and purple family.

As a rule of the thumb the greater the contrast between your skin, eye and natural hair colour, the stronger the colours you can get away with. Of course as with most things this is only a guide, the only real way to find out if a colour will suit you is to try it on or hold the colour near your face. There will be a whole palette of colours that suit you so try out lots of different options.
