How To Know Which Colour Suits You

Now, we all have to agree that Coco Chanel knew a thing or two about fashion and style. This quote "The best colour in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you" is very true and represents what we believe here at The Image Consulting Company.

As we all know, each season there are new colours that are 'on trend' and fill the high street. However, if that particular colour is not suited to your skin tone, then don't worry you are not obliged to wear it (honest). Good news!!! There are various shades within each colour spectrum, which may be perfect depending if you suit warm or cool tones.

Top Tip: Try introducing colour through inexpensive scarves from either Primark or H&M to discover which colours work for you. Remember this is personal to each individual and takes time to really know what works.

How to Accessorise: Part Two

As discussed in last weeks instalment of How To Accessorise, I have invested in three different accessories that have enhanced my wardrobe.

This weeks accessory discovery is socks!!!

I found that various ankle socks are very practical for the Winter season and also stylish. I have invested in various colours and styles to add an extra touch to my look. Socks are versatile as they can be worn in the day through to the evening. I also team the accessory with skirts, trousers, jeans, shorts and dresses (over tights) and with boots, shoes and trainers. I wear them so much I have asked for a range of styles for Christmas - with glitter ones at the top of my list.

Top Tip: My advice would be to make sure that the ankle sock is long enough to fit over the top of the boot. Ideally, you should be able to have enough length to create a worn look by scrunching the sock. I have made the mistake of choosing a style that wasn't the right length leaving me irritated and uncomfortable all day. Remember the whole purpose of the sock is to be visible to create a stylish look.

Stores: Topshop, Urban Outfitters and H&M are a great location for socks; to name a few. Remember, that socks are ageless and can be found in most stores.

What colour socks do you love to show?? I dare you to wear a pair os socks this festive season - there are so many styles available, you will be spoilt for choice!!
