Hold clothes of various hues up to your face and ask your friend or the sales person at the store to help you choose 3 to 5 colors that look best on you. Avoid extremely bright colors.

Look for pants that hit the tops of your shoes, shirts and sweaters which fit closely but do not hug your body, and jackets with sleeves that fall 1/2 inch above the shirt cuff. Ask your friend or the sales person for honest opinions, and remember to avoid anything that is too tight, too short or too long.

Put together several color-coordinated outfits from the clothes you have chosen. Choose shirts that are in the colors you have determined look good on you, and pair them with neutral pants and jackets in colors such as denim, black, brown, gray or khaki. Try the entire outfit on or lay the clothes out together on the counter of the store to visualize the outfit.
