Managing your wardrobe

Many of us buy just on a whim, simply because it’s in store and everybody else is wearing it. Fashion differs from season to season and being individuals; with our own unique skin, eye and hair tone not all garments will suit us.

Colour has an incredible ability to make you look healthier, more confident and more attractive. However, it also has the ability to make you look unhealthy, tired and a size larger.

So before you buy any new clothes, ask yourself these vital questions…

• How much of what you’ve already got do you enjoy wearing? Be honest with yourself, unless you feel comfortable and confident in your outfit then you really need to evaluate whether those colours or that style should be in your life.


• What is it that works about the clothes you love? Is it the colour, the fit or perhaps the shape of the garment?


• What is your body shape? You may be shocked to discover that you actually have a small waist rather than the large hips.


• Which are your “wow” colours? Which colour have you received the most compliments in? It is also important to make notes of negative comments you receive for example “are you tired, you look pale” this will give you an insight into which colours not to wear.


• Are you confident about the colour and style of your hair?  Is it right for your eye and skin colour, does it suit and enhance you and your personality?


• What kind of details and jewellery suit your personality? Is gold better for you than silver? Chunky bracelets or dainty bracelets?


• Which are the best lengths for skirts, trousers, jackets and tops for you?

Once you understand what works for you and what doesn’t, you will identify what gives you that extra confidence and feel good factor and your wardrobe will then be full of clothes that you look and feel great in. No more disastrous and expensive shopping sprees with mountains of unwanted clothes that don’t give you the radiant glow that you deserve.
