Easy Wardrobe Planning



Simply keeping to Warm (yellow-based) or Cool (blue-based) colours makes it easy to have a mix and match wardrobe.


Do you remember a little exercise we do in the workshop? After we identify your Season (Summer, Winter, Autumn, or Spring) I ask you to sort some fabric sample into two piles: Cool and Warm.


All the Cool hues and tones harmonise with one another but steal a Warm shade or tint and put it in the Cool group, and it sticks out like a sore thumb!


Similarly all the Warm colours sit quite happily together but a Cool colour clashes with them.


So even if you don't know your Season, by keeping to either Warm or Cool colours, items will 'go' together easily.


If you'd like to know which colours flatter you (Warm or Cool, clear or muted) and more about simple wardrobe planning then ring or email me, I'd love to help (there's a workshop to suit your budget).
