Step 1
Hold small swatches of fabric to your face to see which colors complement your skin tones. Warm colors such as yellow, orange and red look best with olive or dark skin. Cool colors such as pink, red and blue look better with light skin.
-
Step 2
Add color in small doses if you are new to branching out from the neutral palette in your wardrobe. Polish your nails with a colored polish and wear some colored stone jewelry to start with.
-
Step 3
Wear a splash of color in the form of a camisole under a jacket. If you are wearing it at the office you can keep it a little less bright than if you are going out to dinner. A little more subdued color is appropriate for work.
-
Step 4
Throw a curveball the next time you wear a little black dress by adding a brightly colored shoe and bag to spice up the look. Lime green or pink works for summer and red or purple works in the winter.
-
Step 5
Cover all of your neutral outfits with a bright color coat. If you just can't bring yourself to add color to your everyday work wardrobe then add it by wearing a bright red coat. If an entire coat looks like it is too much then add color with a long scarf.
