When the whole world is talking about neutrals, old money style...here comes Trinny and tells you to embrace colour, to have fun with it, and she does it in such a sophisticated and elegant way. What an inspiring lady! God bless the Queen of Colour!

[@racheylp7895]

I couldn’t care less how much money Trinny spends on clothes, her style is amazing, she’s inspirational whether her top is £20 or £2000, I don’t care. It gives me ideas. Love her 😍

I am totally with you. Well said. I would never ever think of checking someone else's wallet. I enjoy the knowledge sharing and inspiration 🫶

Don't be serious you trying to place the

[@Skylark123]

Dear Trinny, please do not feel guilty, ever! You have worked so hard, you deserve everything your heart desires. If anyone should dare to make you feel bad it’s because they’re jealous!! Your true followers are here to build you up not knock you down. Shine on sweetheart!!!

[@AnnieAtRecess]

I've always appreciated that the lessons are about shapes, and shades, and dressing with joy for your own body and lifestyle, and NOT a constant commercial for certain brands. Yes, she has her favorites, but so do each of us, and she's often explained that she demonstrates with Zara because it's THE most accessible worldwide and for price point. I don't personally shop at Zara at all, and am a heavy curvy woman, BUT the lessons still apply. I can always find a personal example in my wardrobe to apply what I've learned from her advice and inspiration. That is RARE to find amongst the fashion advice community.

[@maireadheffernan9943]

The older I get I find I am more adventurous with colour, and this is partly down to you Trinny. Thank you for all your excellent advice and inspiration. ❤❤❤

[@kris115]

Don't feel guilty Trinny! We love you in Zara, as well in Prada😉. You deserve it, the Ysl blazer is divine❤

[@GladBurgio]

The more I watch, the more I learn. Thanks Trinny & team❤

[@helgavalfells5233]

Please tells us about your designer purchases - dont feel guilty - you work hard you are entrepreneur of the year you deserve nice things - when men buy expensive cars they feel proud not guilty - I love the burgundy jacket and would love to know where its from - I enjoy the way you combine designer and high street - I would appreciate if you shared the designer as well as the high street

[@michellejordan5455]

I have Trinnys book Fearless, I refer to the Match To Me colour section nearly every day. Absolutely fantastic reference to help with choosing what to wear or in my case, what not to wear. I have culled the colours that don't suit me and almost all prints from my wardrobe and have now find it easier to dress each day.

[@isola-bella]

This Saint Laurent jacket is everything. Love it. And you do look very good in this color, regardless od what you "color palette" tells you 😉

[@tinejensen3388]

One can never have too much colour! Now I'm thinking what new combinations I can come up with from the things in my wardrobe - thank you so much for the inspiration!👏👌😍🌈🌈🌈

[@ohhoney8662]

Please do a designer cloth confession! 🥰🥰🥰

[@markrodgerson796]

That is what I' m praying for

[@dianesparks4383]

Oh how I enjoy your videos! Always something fresh to learn & love the frequency of your postings. Thank you for bringing joy to the world Trinny & Team! 🎉💜🤗

[@denisemaryheatherington5820]

Very informative... also looking at the older clips in el video can see how much your body and posture has changed

[@Dobby-1611]

I think what I found most interesting Trinny was seeing how yr style has changed more recently from the earlier parts of the film. I feel your recent purchases seem ‘cooler’ and more effortless.

[@barbaraschranz3117]

One of the best episode in month!!!🤩 More, please. I just love it.

[@ceejae2349]

This cc made me think about all the other colour combinations i haven't considered. I'm off to sunday lunch in a diff colour combo today. I absolutely love colour

[@tipicharhorner7812]

What an educational session thank you Trinny ! Will try pink and green today :) And..may I say seeing your previous clips makes me realise how transformed you are..super toned super strong now! You are a true inspiration :)

[@melissalouise6029]

Used this video as inspiration to get dressed today!! Thanks Trinny!

[@rozrena3959]

I love colour blocking. It's like playing. Very creative.

[@johna378]

Those colour combinations would look just as great in home interiors

[@beckyadae1584]

Brilliant! I can’t wait to use the interactive color charts for fresh ideas

[@Doroellisa]

I always get new inspiration for colour combinations. Thank you, Trinny! My coleague already commented positively on my styles😊

[@joanalden8767]

Hi folks. Wear what makes you happy and fabulous. 😊 life is too short xx

[@karenfurreedan5815]

Thanks Trinny, so enjoy your videos, invaluable advice as always x

[@kenziepeace6096]

Hi Trinny, I liked this the art of colour and dressing using it to match seasonal dressing. Like this great info. Have a great day.

[@drnicolebeaumont7884]

Crikey! Awesome so much fun, joyful🎉

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I love pink and green together, too, it’s one of my favorite color combinations. I have a light khaki green leather skirt which I wear with pink tops, love this color scheme. Many tints and tones of red work well with the same of many greens, so long as they don’t look Christmassy (pink is, of course, a tint of red). I usually have white in there somewhere, too, it’s my favorite neutral. I also love pale pink with burgundy, which is more of an analogous rather than complementary color pairing, as the combination of red and green is.

[@lindablackerby9819]

Such a fun video. And I was dying to see you put on one of your hot pink shirts with the red suit and the burgundy blazer!

[@dorisbeckish580]

I think that 1st magenta jacket looked so great on you and I would think it's your color! You looked so fresh, like you were outside for a walk. I loved it on you, personally!

[@JusosMaria]

I absolutely adore your style ❤

[@martinacaffrey4411]

Loving the lilac and khaki mix together. 👍

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

That “Juniper Green” is a great color.

[@NorasNarrative]

Such a beautiful combo of those colors 10:33

Oh I love red and purple

[@thaipeoples7597]

You teach us so much

[@EsteeWalts]

11:25 yess!

[@charlotteeshun1393]

Thoughtful ❤❤❤

[@EsteeWalts]

I once read.....green and purple is a typical Aquarius combi 😂Well, i am an Aquarius ( sun and moon) like you ......but very picky on which purple and which green. I do love pastels. I never wear harsh colors.

[@tinaw.9485]

First off, I like Trinny or I wouldn’t be watching her channel. And, we have similar tastes in that my closet is also a healthy mix of luxury brands and Zara and COS. However, about 70% of my wardrobe is black, 25% other neutrals, and about 5% color, none of which is bright neon. I also prefer smaller, genuine jewelry pieces to big costume items. I find my wardrobe to be tasteful and sophisticated. It seems like over the last six months, Trinny is wearing a lot more black, and more neutral and subtle color combos, like today’s jacket and jeans. She also mentioned that she has been getting rid of a lot of the wild prints she used to wear. This isn’t a criticism-we all have tastes that evolve as we do-but I think Trinny is realizing that all of those bright colors can often look very cheap. As Dior said, “You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion…” Finally, it would be a very boring world if everyone dressed the same. I love seeing color on others, if done well. I’m just observing that Trinny seems to be coming around to my way of thinking.

[@nancyblackett8777]

How interesting…

[@Vimvista]

we have missed your this kind of videos that how you combine.

[@ioannamylona5462]

9:24 Trinny red and green are literally oposite each other on the colour wheel. They do go well together and you can see it in nature as well...

[@JaneJohnson-jd7gh]

Trinny, I've recently started watching, because you are entertaining, full of energy, charismatic, glamorous, look 20 years younger than you are, and above all, because you demonstrate how to LOOK with a ruthlessly critical eye at every detail of fit, colour, cut etc. It has been a salutary and fascinating lesson. BUT despite being so infinitely sensitive to colour, you persist in wearing hideous neons which are an offense to the eyes: like a slap in the face. Sequins seem essential to you, but they often make you look like the fairy on top of the Christmas tree, while being ruinous to the planet. It is perfectly possible to look young, original, stylish yet ELEGANT, as you showed for instance in your navy based capsule wardrobe to pack for a week's imaginary holiday... And less is often better than more, yet you persist in piling more and more stuff on to lovely get ups: add a gilet, a scarf, a belt, earrings etc until you look like a parcel, and the line of your splendid figure is hidden. And you, tall already, sometimes choose to wear the most absurdly exaggerated platform shoes. (It reminds one of the laughable extremes of fashion thro' the ages: medieval men with points to their shoes so exaggeratedly long, they chained the tips up to their knees in order not to fall over them, rich prostitutes in Renaissance Venice who wore pattens so high they had to lean on a servant girl each side of them to be able to walk, 18th C ladies with 'heads' so ridiculously tall they had to lift the roofs of sedan chairs to fit inside, and paniers so wide they couldn't get thro' doors). All these extremes are not fun but silly and unnecessary, but the designer burgundy velvet jacket is so utterly perfect, (and cost so much), that your respect for it has seemingly made you leave it in peace and dress simply for once, to allow it to register how marvellous it is, how beautifully it fits and suits you. It looks magnificent. I'm so glad you bought it. Enjoy it, but please learn a lesson from it!

[@robertjacobs4062]

I know u love neons, however the lavender jacket with the green complimentary top looks fab on you.

[@thewanderingbroker-karenro8189]

I am so confused with the match to me. When I do it, my palette is the exact same as Trinny's. And yes we have completely different colouring. Years ago, I was told I was a "winter" so a lot of the colours on the Trinny palette are so out of usual realm.

[@joannetangira145]

Pleeese do patterned skirts dresses again. Love watching.also.....what about pencil skirts for those who do wear them.

[@andreabuzza1059]

I so enjoy these segments. I have my colors in match to me but would appreciate confirmation as to cool, warm or neutral on it. There is no category heading that summarizes the shades. 👍

[@dinobonacic2471]

If these are closet confessions, can we *please* just acknowledge the fact that you've been on a YSL shopping spree recently? As your audience, we love the success you're having, allowing you to go on wild shopping sprees! I feel like Trinny is holding back because she doesn't want to alienate her audience, but instead it's coming across as a bit insincere. Personally, I love your taste in designer things and I want to celebrate it so DON'T BE ASHAMED OF SPENDING YOUR HARD-EARNED CASH!

[@DDTSB2525]

Also - Trinny is one of the hardest workers, always hustling - she deserves the best of everything 💗

[@isola-bella]

Totally agree. I love Trinny showing her designer pieces. For me it is a great inspiration.

[@notaclue822]

She owes her success in part to her smart decision to show us pieces that are accessible to us. I always knew she wasn't limiting herself to Zara in real life. She shows us a little Vampires wife, a little serena bute here and there. Love Trinny whatever she does anyway.

[@danielalaurarinaldi1390]

Money earned with honest work and giving a lot of young and fine people a great opportunity of doing an interesting work. Envy Is a miserabile stain😂😂😂

[@hypersynesthesia]

I disagree about red/purple and red green. If red/green wasn’t possible that’d eliminate hundreds of beautiful tartans, for instance. I think we just have to pay attention to how different reds/greens sit with each other, and try to avoid looking like Xmas wrapping paper. It can look really crisp and modern. (Red, a rich mossy green and a yellowy chartreuse can look delicious, for instance.) I also think I would avoid being too determinedly matchy-matchy about colours, adding in a subtle extra colour to stop it being too prescriptive.

[@kay_liv]

❤❤❤

[@chrysmous]

I am kind of confused because I tried Match2me and I am pretty sure I am not neutral warm,as my results suggest (I definitely suit cool or cooler colours clothing wise)and my skin is really diaphanous so any mistakes will really stand out.Anyway I absolutely love everything you do!💜

[@TrinnyLondon]

DM team if you need help X

[@chrysmous]

I will.Thank you!

Can you do a basic for dummies kid of video for color. I don’t get it at all :(

These combinations make me think of flags sports teams and school uniforms

[@agnieszkamadej1203]

How to find this neutral palette?

[@beverlyteh4676]

Gosh I’ve just realised what trinny does. She tries to encourage us to wear really bright and saturated colours so we need to use more makeup (hers) so we don’t look washed out 😂

[@merrilew]

Can you recommend a website that you were using… I’d love to be able to figure out color combinations that look best on me and then something to go back to, for courage and new ideas. Love you.❤

[@nancyblackett8777]

Type colour wheel into Google and take your pick. Easy peasy.

[@kimgayler1478]

I think it's a plug for her book.But no criticism implied

[@geekygirl01]

It’s on her website

[@anaalves3658]

I just want to know, when you do the match to me questionnaire do you put in your natural hair colour or your died hair colour? I was a brunette, but know I am more of a ashblonde, I'm trying to hide the grey hair 😂.

[@user-gl6dg8ho3j]

You put in the colour you have now. Because that is what you will be wearing it with, right?

[@jakecavendish3470]

Can you share any advice on how to get oven-baked salmon to cook with a nice crisp finish without using fat (butter/olive oil etc)?

[@americafirst9144]

Well, at least spray oil would be less fat. Fruit will caramelize. Maybe frozen orange juice. Or a Balsamic glaze maybe.

[@deborah972]

Hi trinny so beautiful xx

[@corinnerubin7552]

I cant find my colors!

[@ChromeChrome-qu1yz]

As an American, all those color combos are holidays here and colors rarely worn outside of said holidays. Not easy combo's for me BECAUSE.....many will ask why you are dressed like said holiday. I realize now my holidays have destroyed all potential for my color blocking future. Purple and green.....Mardi Gras Red and White....Christmas Black and orange....Halloween Pink and green....Easter Pink and red....Valentine's Day

[@karenschelbach4092]

Where would I find the clothing colour palette?

[@hannievanweel5292]

On her website Match2me

[@debblackmore7460]

Where did you get so smart every thing goes you know your stuff bringing style smart classy you could wear a bin bag and would still be great lol stay safe ladies takecare xx

[@Belfastboi]

Love it but can’t bear those big white trainers 😱

[@TomFunKTKR]

I would appreciate if you could somehow showing the laptop window (as people do in video conference) rather than going back and forth to the PC and Trinity. The camera wobbles, doesn’t quite show the color she is talking about. Please use technology for your audience.

[@summerintherockies9530]

Trinny is gorgeous, but I don’t understand why this video is tall and narrow (and not filling the entire screen, like most of the influencers with a ton of followers)?

[@shaakera49617]

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Navy and red is a combination so overdone by everyone in my career years, beginning in the early 80s, that I just got sick of looking at it. It’s too corporate or something, especially with the gold always worn with it, every other print seemed to be navy, red and gold. Nor am I crazy about red and black, I prefer reds with slightly softer browns or pinks.

[@simonfriend839]

I’m a guy darling , is there any help for men ?????

[@nancyblackett8777]

First, don’t call people ‘darling’. Second, search for a male orientated style channel. There’s plenty.

[@simonfriend839]

@@nancyblackett8777 get over yourself ! Trinny is a all inclusive guru !

[@ritaspera384]

I have to disagree with the red and green . They can look fabulous together depending on the shade of green and red . Those old sayings truly mean nothing, only bored people thinking of things to say,smh .. you should know better !! 😮😊
