They should look as if they belong on you. Look for balance in the depth of a colour, its clarity and undertone. A personal colour consultation is helpful in determining the colour direction which will suit you most. Body Line - Your face and body shape depend on your bone structure, and the way your flesh is distributed upon that bone structure. Everyone has a different body shape.
Some people are more angular and others are more contoured.
The shape and proportions of your shoulders, chest, rib cage and waist in relation to each other, project either a straighter, more angled body line, or a more contoured line. Your face, too, projects either a more angled, or a more curved silhouette. To be well-dressed, the shape of your clothes, and the fabrics and patterns you choose, should follow similar lines. Colour - When you are choosing colours to harmonise with your own colouring, consider how deep, light, bright, muted, warm or cool that colour is. Think about the image you wish to convey in the kind of situation where the garment will be worn, and how appropriate that shade of colour may be in a business environment.
