Wear clothes that FIT. Find a tailor - having a tailor is indispensable in helping ready-made clothes fit you better, make alterations, change details like buttons or zippers. You'd be surprised to see how even small changes can elevate and change a piece of clothing on you. Italian, Spanish, French-trained and Hong-Kong trailed tailors are the best.

I got into the whole colour analysis concept about 5 years ago and went through wardrobe clearing as well. My advice would be: don’t get rid of your favourite pieces even if they are not “your colours “. If you have worn them before and felt amazing in them who really cares what colour they are😉 unfortunately, I got rid of a lot of my good pieces and have regretted this many times since. I have even repurchased similar items because I missed them so much. At the moment I try to stick to my colours but I’m not strict about it and it makes it more fun when shopping:)

Black looks good on “deep cool” people. That can include very light skin and dark hair and eyes. It looks beautiful in light skin as long as hair is also dark. Think of Anne Hathaway.

[@FrostyFreya]

seneca this type is sometimes called winter and yes, even someone very pale can wear this as long as they are clear deep types (as opposed to soft types). Sometimes even platinum blondes can be winters eg Elle Fanning rocks black dresses.

I think the undertone of the color is important too. Warm undertone in the black washes me out (v. pale skin, med blue eyes and hair with platinum/silver blonde light blonde and coppery red blonde)while cool undertones highlight the colors in my hair and compliments my eyes.

[@jenifermartins2946]

Hi Anna! I'm so happy for you! You're the kind of person I would absolutely trust for image consulting. I've been watching your videos for about 2 months, not because I'm interested in joining high society or anything like that, but because you're a source of inspiration for self-improvement and discipline (which I've NEVER had).

Much love and respect from a Brazilian fan!

[@kikicanjar9185]

I love watching your videos and was raised with the same European take on what looks classic and ladylike. So I generally agree with your viewpoint. What I do not understand from listening to you, is why your focus is about teaching women how to find a rich man? Wouldn’t it be better to teach them the value of attaining their own career/support system? I have a husband who is exceptionally handsome, is a wonderful father; and who is successful in his profession. However, I have a career in law, and am happy to say that I can always take care of my family if I have to. One day, when my outward appearance isn’t as important to me, I will feel confident in knowing that I do not need a rich man to support me. You are a smart woman - please teach women about the importance of earning their self reliance through education.

[@leechun996]

Kibbe body types and interpretation by Merriam style. Regarding this and color analysis. i highly recommend both to all. it is literally life changing. Now when I style myself as recommended (some of the stuff is also what you told us. But black works perfectly well with very light ppl who are cool and radiant).. It's sick, but I get complimented so many times on a day. The trick with the coloring is.. When it makes your face blur just a tiny bit.. That means all the imperfections like small marks on the skin will also blur and not get noticed.. Like wrinkles etc. This is what apps to when they make us look better. They blur and make the lines softer. When we are wearing the right colors.. It does exactly this.. And the effect is game changing. I promise you, ladies, you will not regret it. I was always insecure about the way I style etc.

Thank you so much for mentioning this Lee Chun! I am a Cool and Delicate with high contrast in Merriams system which means dark blues, dark reds and cool dark greens and greys suit me perfectly even though I am pale and blonde while the usual recommendations of pastels make me look sickly. Like you said, it is literally life changing. Kibbe (from Merriam, Aly or any other) is amazing too, I am a hourglass, but Soft Dramatic, which means I can't wear the same things as a Romantic hourglass or a Gamine with hourglass shape. For some the shapes called hourglass, square, pear etc might work, but for most I do not think that it is optimal. Like the large or small pattern example in the video, a tall Soft Gamine will look great with small patterns and details while a short Flamboyant Gamine will look great with large patterns. Btw, I think Anna is a Soft Natural, what do you guys think? :)

Blonde and mustard yellow is like red hair and pink

I wouldn't put that combo in quite the same category as red hair and pink. Real red hair is actually orange (which is why it's called "ginger" in the UK), so pink clashes awfully with natural red hair, especially bright pinks, which, for some reason, English gingers love.

[@flynnmalin]

I have been sewing on a machine since I was 7. I learned color analysis in the 80's. I am also a cool tone. People can wear almost any color. The trick is choosing a warm or cool tint. I am a blue eyed redhead, and I wear pink quite often and well. It is the shade of color, that matters. These are excellent tips, for women to learn.

[@gessicacipriano2437]

Congratulations! I've learned about colors and skin tone a pair of years ago thank to the channel of the fashion designer Justine Leconte, and it really opened my mind and improved my overall look when I shop, dress up and make up. I've always liked light blue, for example, and were thinking that any light blue shade could work well on me... but sometimes I looked washed, sick and not pretty and could not explain why. But now I know that cool shades work on me and flatter me, so I shop and style more wisely. Thank you for this video ❤

Hi there! As I was an art minor ( many, many years ago) color is a huge passion for me. I've been studying color, style and fashion for many years. I'm so glad your sharing all of this information!! I'm a light- medium brown skinned African American woman and I found out black is not my best dark neutral. Many think just because you are a specific culture, black works. Not always the case. I have very light medium warm undertones and I have very low contrast. Carmel, camel, coppers, Champaign, ivory colors are some of my best neutrals I found out. I like you, had to re do about 80% of my wardrobe due to wrong Colors ( mostly black), style, etc. I've been training my daughter as well.

Great topic, especially on color, I have been focusing on buying colors that make my skin tone “pop” and I’m building my wardrobe around those colors. I’m Mediterranean/ olive skin toned, so warm reds, mustard yellows and olive greens look very flattering on me. Also I live on the south so I have really gotten away from black unless it’s an accent color. It’s so much fun to discover colors that work, and the ones that do make you look younger and more radiant!

[@Bakerygo]

The things you said about body types are so true. I'm an hourglass and my problem is that I can't find cloths that are small enough in the waist. And the trend of everything oversized and bulky is not helping at all! It's very difficult to find good cloths for hourglass figures. Also very true that the only materials that look good on hourglasses are the elastic ones or the garment must be tailored exactly to the proportions of the person.

[@remmirath42]

Same here, although I have found a workaround for the warmer seasons. I wear loose fitting blouses (viscose as a cheaper substitute for silk) and tuck them into high waisted pants or skirts. Unfortunately this only works with thin fabrics and not with the chunky sweaters that keep me warm in the winter...

[@vilieto]

Same problem here. Everything nowadays seems to be based off rectangular slim models so it feels like potato sack on me. Very few brands actually make clothes for womanly figures, so I often have to go size up because of shoulders and hips, but then use a belt for my waist.

[@lisafeldmann9863]

I was introduced to the concept of Warm and Cool by as system called Color Me Beautiful that separated people into 4 different seasons - Spring and Autumn - warm and Summer and Winter - cool. This was so validating as to why I had always gravitated towards soft cool tones as I met the Summer coloring guidelines. Anna, from the first time I watched you, I knew you were a summer as soft cool tones suit you so much. I am deeper completed than you (mac 25-30 NW, Chanel 32-40) and need slightly more shaded tones (cool toned pastels with a touch of gray). So glad you are teaching this concept to others as most youtubers tend to encourage colors that we "like" or don't have (this may be the reason) rather than makeup or clothing that suits our coloring. Great video!

[@kimberlyhayward12]

Ladies during the 1980s had "their colours done" As did I!! I realize now that colour tones do change as you get older

[@terimoto9935]

Gray might also be an option for people with blue gray eyes. I wear navy/blues when I want my eyes to look bluer, and anything from light gray to lighter shades of charcoal if I want to highlight the gray tones. (I have similar coloring to Anna, btw. I never looked good with black near my face, but gray and blue shades have almost always worked as long as they were "cool" versions.) Can't wait to see what new things you teach us in your videos, Anna!!

[@sarahalhares8982]

Plz plz continue this series, you're so right Anna! Whenever I was amazed by some colleagues or girls with very beautiful and flattering cloths and ask them where do they get them?? They all told me that they get "tailored specifically for them"! That was an aha moment for me as well.. I always thought that's just a lot of work..

It definitely depends on what color blonde. I can wear black, but it is not my best choice nor would it be my first choice.

[@MartynaNoise]

To me black is like a neutral and if styled right, it can look striking, sexy and super elegant on *most* skin tones, whether it's a slightly tanned blonde like Anna or a pale brunette like Dita von Teese... after all, the timeless little black dress is timeless for a reason :) Women of colour on the other hand look really gorgeous in rich, vibrant colours like magenta or royal blue... That example of Michelle Obama in Anna's video was a total miss in my opinion, the black outfit just made her look very monotone and boring. I guess what makes it so striking to me is the contrast. Same with pastels like baby blue on blondes... I always roll my eyes when I hear this outdated advice, to me it's such a boring plain Jane colour combo with no interesting contrast. Anyways, It's probably a matter of taste ;)

In one video in Zara you comment on a green color and says a person will look sick in green and yes if you are cool toned and wear warm green. 🙂 Green is my safe color. Most warm soft and muted greens are just perfect because I also have golden green eyes. Im looking forward to see elegant and colorful outfit examples. 🙂 I support your statement on black. I have always known black was a no go for me. I really look like a dead person in black... almost like a ghost with dark hollow eye sockets. Thumbs up to you. Love your channel. Kind regards Serina

I agree, dressing for your body (shape) is soo important! It's WAY better than forcing to be something you aren't. A few months ago I found about the Kibbe body types (Aly Art did many many videos on that, they're great, seriously. Check it out.) And apparently I got the "Romantic" body type and now I feel so much more comfortable in my body. What I like about it is how every type is praised and nothing is "better" than the other. Other than that I think it's important to wear the right undergarments. A well fitted bra will transform your look, I personally love vintage bras that have a cone shape (not too extreme though) but you can wear of course modern bras. Just make sure the bra strap doesn't show and if you are wearing a see through shirt/white shirt to wear a NUDE colored bra, because most white bras will still show underneath. Loved the video 😊

I'd add one more. In a single outfit, you can do short, show some clevage or form fitting. Pick just one. Two or more is too much.

Game changer book: Carole Jackson’s “Color Me Beautiful” book. Ok, it’s from 1985 but is en pointe, pivotal and shaped my wardrobe & perspective ( ie. why silver cool tones and jewelry work better due to my undertones, fabric colors etc).

[@PotterSpurn1]

I loved that book. I got it years ago. It was fairly straightforward to work out your palette into one of four seasons. Then it all became more complex with sub-categorisations such as soft/warm/cool added to the main seasons. Now you weren't just a summer you were a cool, soft summer. It kind of helps narrow down the colours to wear, but does make it harder to find out which colours do suit me best of all.. Apparently, I am a warm summer (like Jennifer Anniston).

[@cUser691]

@@PotterSpurn1 Cool, that book started my fashion path in terms of appropriate colors. @ B G, I agree it added nuances w/ the colors...glad you’ve defined your’s. After Carole Kackson’s bk read decades ago, I graduated [smile] to Kibbe Style which is more about body structure I think. It’s the reason why I would look sloppy & unkempt in a lot of dresses Anna wears- the flowing, unstructured cut -don’t look good on me. Instead w/ Kibbe, my type needs feminine yet structured, not too flowy or dainty flowered fabrics. GOOGLE Kibbe or see Aly Art on KZbin- she breaks it down magnicently. Greetings from Chicago

I feel like it is so difficult to dress for COLD winters when almost everything is bulky or thicker .. it’s like -30C here in winter Especially when I want both the Outside and the Inside to look nice because it is one thing to dress nicely and warmly when it’s just a nice coat and boots, but then to also make sure it looks good when you take your coat off 😩

[@juliapf153]

i wear undergarments made for skiing, theyre super high quality and really thin so they dont bulk up your outfit too much. scarves and hats, best if they match in color and/or material. i have a coat made of real fur (bought used but its in pristine condition) and its the warmest thing ive ever worn. just a sweater underneath and youre good to go. im still struggling with shoes myself so i cant give you any tips on that but i hope the rest helped! xx

Finding out your skin undertone is important also for choosing your clothes.

Congratulations on your certification! I got mine a few years ago at FIT (New York), more as a hobby than anything else, and it's been much more helpful than I ever imagined, like a new set of eyes (made for some great closet purging, too). And yes, that shade of blue looks fantastic on you! Best of luck with all your fashion endeavors!

Thanks for the informative video! I look forward to going into depth with this topic. Yeah, there are so many red lipstick options. I recently found that my olive skin and green eyes look stunning in red lipstick with orange hue levels. The orange undertones make my skin look glowy and vibrant 💄

[@lizedbf7334]

I am really looking forward to your video's. I have had a black period that lasted 40 years! Recently i changed to adding a lavender or white blazer to my black dresses. I found it extremely difficult since i could not picture myself in lavender or white. But a lady who owns a fashion boutique advised me and she greatly stressed that i should add these colors to my wardrobe. I have to confess it was a hughe improvement. I have spanish roots so i look a lot like a latino with dark reddish hair and a warm skin tone. The lavender, white and pastel colors really make me look much softer, more feminine and younger. And changing my juwelery from silver to gold has also made a great impact. I am eager to learn more!

[@aroyalaustralian]

In my sixties I’ve always had an intuitive approach to my dress and makeup. I knew a mistake when I made it, but couldn’t work out why something wasn’t working. My figure is straight, with no waist. All my efforts to give myself a waist have been a big fail, so now I have stopped fighting it and opting for baggier shirts etc, and vavoom, it’s working and looks elegant instead of popping out at the waist. Thx for that insight as now I know why it wasn’t working and don’t feel my lack of a waist means I’m fat. Now the penny drops; better late than never. Thank you lovely lady 🤩

Good Morning from New Orleans, Louisiana!! I love that you put a lot of emphasis on the different body shapes! Will you be doing more videos on the different body types, such as the 13 KIBBE BODY TYPE? I only ask because it is so much more helpful than the typical hourglass and rectangle or shapes. Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge ❤️

[@Fastest_turtle]

I'm hourglass and let me tell you, to find clothes that fit in the stores is a real struggle! Since mostly they have straight patterns on their models, most of the clothes look so bulky on me, because my waist literally disappears in them! they weren't made to fit curves. Just straight bodies. And do not make me started about jeans xD What I have learned, is that I can find a clothes that fit me from brands that produce less collections but they make for women. Like the House of Foxy. More vintage.

I would be SO grateful if maybe you could do a video on how to make Jersey not look cheap, Thank you for what you do Anna, I cannot go a day without listening to your wisdom and class.

[@mulliganstew72]

Awesome tips! I’m so happy to hear you say rectangle body shapes are better off without garments that accentuate the waist. Most Others have said that this kind of body shape SHOULD wear belted coats etc. and I’ve always disagreed. I have the rectangle body and I don’t wear anything belted in the waist-it’ll accentuate the fact that I literally look like a ruler!!! LOL oh & i’m pretty flat chested and tall so wearing a padded bra helps even me out a little bit (i’m sure a petite person would be fine with my size breasts, but my height needs more up there!). I’d love to see a video on choosing the right undergarments.

Really interesting I must say, I can't wait to learn more about that

[@whathmm226]

So glad you are getting into this since it can drive one crazy (especially if you live in a diverse population.) One easy way to set up your basic/ best colors, that I have found, is simply to match your eye color, skin color, natural hair color and gum color (get samples from a paint store). That will give you your basics for all make up and clothing. Take this pallette to the store and pick out a scarf that has those colors (which may have an additional bonus color.) Keep the scarf with you when you go shopping, and you will never go wrong.

Did you learn anything about neutral skin undertone? I have been seeking out what are the best color for myself and always receive a mix of answers. Makeup becomes a challenge and I typically go with jewel shades when in comes to clothing. However, the more I look into it, the more confuse I get. I am hoping your future videos can turn to towards the right direction.

Before you even started talking I thought “she should’ve done a color analysis on herself”, since finally I see you dressed “in palette”.
