Choosing colors that coordinate with your complexion is essential to looking your best. Since the skin is your body's largest organ and covers its entire mass, that makes sense. Therefore, the right combination of clothing colors will make you look radiant and you'll feel your best.

A great way to determine your skin type is to hire a Color Consultant and discover your "Season" of ideal colors. You'll spend several hours having wonderful, cloth samples in every color, hue, shade, texture, pattern and material imaginable draped around you. While you sit under various bright lighting scenarios in front of a mirror so you are watching all that she is doing, she will give you advice about your skin tone and the colors, textures and patterns that bring out your best features.

She'll explain what is happening while she experiments draping various colors and shades against your skin. You'll see the changes right before your eyes as different complimentary colors bring out your skin's qualities. And, you'll be astounded when the colors that are wrong for your skin type tend to make you look "washed out", "yellow-skinned" or "pale".

It will be determined that you are a "Winter", "Spring", "Summer" or "Autumn". And, you'll receive a booklet of the ideal clothing colors and patterns that are the best choices for you.

Of course, if you cannot afford the luxury of a Color Consultant, then be sure to take notice of how colors enhance your appearance. If you really like something, it's probably because it's the right color for you. If you receive a lot of compliments on a particular piece of clothing, it's quite likely that the color is right for you, not just that it's a great style. Try purchasing some more clothes in that color and see what happens.

Choosing the right clothing colors to fit your complexion will make you look and feel better about yourself.
