- Dresses
- Outerwear: Jackets, coats
- Shoes
- Accessories: Scarves, hats, jewelry
Step 3: Analyzing Your Base Colors
Check if you have all the necessary wardrobe items in your base colors. Remember, base colors are the foundation of every outfit and should be present in most of your clothes. They are crucial because:
- They’re versatile: They go with almost everything in your closet.

- They provide consistency: When most of your clothes are in base colors, it’s easier to create harmonious and cohesive outfits.

Step 5: Saying Goodbye to Unwanted Colors
Relentlessly get rid of clothes in colors that are not beneficial to your color type. These are colors that make you look pale or add years. I understand that it’s sometimes difficult to part with clothes you like, even if they don’t perfectly match your color type. However, it’s worth considering a few aspects:
- How do you feel in these clothes? Even if you like a color, do you actually feel good in it? Does it give you energy and confidence or does it make you look tired or sick?
- How do others perceive you? Color plays a huge role in how others perceive us. Clothes that don’t match your color type can make you look less attractive than you actually are.
Step 6: Shopping Plan
Create a list of clothes you want to buy that are in your best colors. Remember, these colors enhance your natural beauty.
