How to add colours to your capsule wardrobe | Which colours suit me?

[@UseLess_dk]

Thanks for all your comments guys, I’m glad you’re enjoying this so much! At CMB we no longer work with the seasonal colour types as you might be able to tell from this video. Only the 6 dominants! I personally really appreciate this since I think it makes colour analysis much simpler to work with. You can then add a secondary and tertiary colour type which would add a few more colours to your personal palette, but it depends on your skin’s undertone. We will get into that in another video! 🙏🏻❤️ but your dominant has a big overall impact and takes up most space among your best colours. Thanks again for all your lovely comments as always and take care! All the best, Signe

Honestly, this video shows once again that you're really good at what you're doing. My style and color palette are very different from yours, I don't think we share a single item in our closets, but I still learn so much from your videos! It shows that you know your style theory and not just what works for you personally, which sets you apart from most other fashion youtubers. It feels like I'm actually learning abstract knowledge watching your videos rather than just gathering inspiration.

[@UseLess_dk]

Thank you so so much! You have no idea how happy this makes me ❤️🙏🏻 my goal is exactly to help all kinds of people from different walks of life to gain more style confidence, and that looks different for everyone. Hearing how the tools work for you even though we have each our different style is everything! Thanks again and enjoy your Sunday. 💓 Signe xx

[@CathyHarbidge]

You have me totally rethinking how I pack a travel capsule! Thanks you!

[@tracythomas343]

I had my colors done in the 80s. I thought I was an autumn but found out I’m a spring. Since then as there have been changes to the system I’ve learned I’m a clear Spring. I’m still wearing the colors I’m drawn to.

[@2PuppyProductions]

I've been working to define my colour palette during covid. It's been a fun project! I'm finding it so much easier to get dressed now and I feel so much better in my clothes. Like you black is not ideal for me but I do like it. I've been intentionally shopping for scarves that incorporate soft block and warmer colours to wear near my face. I really enjoyed this video and love the colour journey that you are on. Keep sharing! You are awesome!

[@theautisticacademic5927]

The same dusty blues that look good on you are the ones I am drawn to too! I love those colours in particular for knitwear. A dusty blue knit is so lovely!

[@theautisticacademic5927]

I also really like slightly muted forest greens (as you can probably tell by my hair!)

[@nancyedwards4847]

I think you look fabulous in all of the colours.

[@robynwells8249]

Great video, I’ve had a color analysis done and I’m a winter. The problem lies in that the last few years most color choices in clothes are warm toned. Other than white, black, navy and gray it’s ridiculously hard to find cool toned colors. I have one royal blue sweater that I’ve worn out and can’t find a replacement for.

[@debiwaleski1797]

I still have the color me beautiful book. It is so true that working with the right colors saves time and money and adds to confidence. Thanks Signe!

[@carlyduke13]

Wow, this video blew my mind. I was recently thinking about color psychology, but I love how you focused on something practical like fashion to really apply and teach color to the public. I think I automatically gravitate towards certain colors because of my skin tone/eye color, but this gave me more reasons why those colors usually work for my style. You put into words what we all were thinking. I'm so happy I stumbled upon this video as I am reorganizing my closet.

[@ksm9974]

I thought you suited navy more than black since I started watching your videos last year (I had my colours done years ago / have similar eye & skin colouring as you) but thought it was better to not say. Black/navy are so similar in versatility but make so much difference/lift an outfit if you wear the one that suits you most.

[@lisaanderson7433]

Great video, couldn’t agree more. Color analysis is very useful , I have saved so much money and time since having an analysis.

[@ruthstrickland6679]

I got my colours done professionally last week and it was a revelation. I really wanted to understand more about colour so I can influence my wardrobe, so I always look my best.

[@bethanymontgomery529]

It took me a while to really buy into the whole figuring out your colours and having a colour palette for your wardrobe, but now having done that and implementing it into my own wardrobe, it has made an unimaginable difference!

[@therealakkherself1296]

I worked for 30 yrs as a personal Consultant in style and personal colors and must say i even helped color blind people who easily could se the Black skades showing up in their face by showing Them cold and Warming shades . A Right Color choise wich appeals to your own shades of skin, eyes and hair and to and mix and match Wardrobe in the right shapes for your lifestyle and figure Can make a Big difference

[@ruthstrickland6679]

Also now means that all the colour in my wardrobe harmonises so I can colour mix till my hearts content! Useful for someone who loves colour so much.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

My pro colors included shades/tints of purple, but I’ve recently stopped buying new pieces in this hue. I’ve always found it difficult to style and there’s something drab or somber about it. I am so drawn to light neutrals, but it’s hard to find cooler versions for my coloring. This has been a great season for finding, better on me, taupe items, I love your taupe leather jacket.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

My Color Me Beautiful analysis 40 years ago has been very helpful. Then, it was only the four seasonal types, I want to get updated in the new system, plus my coloring has faded somewhat at age 61.

[@waheebolamilekan3486]

Wonderful colours

[@JennaJohnsonRecipeDiaries]

I like muted colors in the cooler months and brighter colors in warmer months.

[@suzstancova4220]

Thank you for the tips! After wearing my Organics basics black t-shirts every day I found out that after a year they have nice charcoal blue color which suits me better then black. Now I wish OB make them in this colour :-)

[@marylaidig5755]

I have the same book as your mom! It was very helpful to discover the best colors to wear. Enjoy this new pursuit.

[@drawingout.net-vmcg]

Brilliant video Signe. I'm still following you after all these years! I also had the original Colour Me Beautiful book in the 80s like your mum and I love colour.! I also admire your message...wear what you have as it is ultimately the most sustainable way to dress and consume. Looking forward to more on this topic from you. Hugs 🥰

[@jacquelinecolley4690]

Just such a brilliant idea, my problem with colour is that I never really know what looks best on me... But this method is really giving me inspiration to do some research 👕

[@olabodegbolahan1095]

Those cloth are so beautiful

[@mybagoftheday1722]

I read my moms colour me beautiful -book over and over as a teen! I have since known what colours suit me, I actually was drawn to those colours even as a kid, and I did stick to my colour palette thoroghly for years but then I got really, really bored with all the browns and earthy tones. Then I wore all black. Then a rainbow of colours. Then, for years only grey shades, which I still love. Now, taking baby steps to reintoduce my colours. Khaki green has never completely left my wardrobe, it is my best shade.

[@tammyjones6779]

Love it and u. Keep up great work. Love purple and blue, red and same green, orange.

[@drlopez6755]

The topic is cool...one need to know the color wheel principle

[@sylvianblue]

I have a favourite teal winter coat but it drains me completely. I thought I’d have to get rid of it - yes, It actually makes me look ill! However I added a mustard scarf right up by my face and that scarf warms my face up so I can continue to wear my favourite coat!

[@alabidamilola7408]

Good arrangements

[@siskaholterman7116]

I ve done a collor me besutifull session when i was in the twenties. The said i was a warm spring. Now i ve been 60 years and i m a warm light muted spring.When you get older the skin is paler etc. Hair has turned grey.

[@correoordinario2010]

Thanks for the vídeo! Most of the KZbinrs I follow are a cool skin girls, so when you always say "is better to stick to neutrals" I can't feel represented with the commonly known neutrals. I'm neutral but I lean more towards deep autumn colour palette. So for me, my "neutrals" have some colour, like navy blue, charcoal grey, off-white, beige or chocolate brown. And also, the bright colorations (like Autumn and Winter) don't look as well in muted colours like Summer and Spring. So forest green, mustard yellow or burgundy red are my go to colours.

[@MNP208]

I did a "Color me Beautiful" workshop with my mother in the 1980s and discovered I am a "fall". I didn't know they were still around!

[@ekureedafedaniel2622]

Love to try it

[@odalis6177]

This was done in the early 80s. I’m a Winter. For example the color that’s far from your face can be any tone. The important one is the color that will be under your face.

Can you add a link to your color analysis? I was interested in it.

[@julialuisemayer]

Great video, great tips and SO MUCH inspiration as always - thank you!😊 I'm happy that there are also some amazing capsule wardrobe creators out there that embrace colors to the fullest. Also, I'm so happy that I found your online consultations, I wasn't aware of them and I'm just one click away😊🙌🏼

[@hephzibahudofia8967]

Awesome 💪🏼💪🏼

[@Julie-gx5qm]

First to say.. my english is quite bad, but I'll try... my whole life I thougt, I would be a deep autumn. My hair is dark brown, my eyes are dark brown, in the summer my skintone becomes goldish. I saw myself always as a warm color-type. But... now I think I'm oliv undertoned. To warm colors like orange look horrible an me, but to cold colors like royal blue are still worse. Which colors do you think work on an warm oliv undertone.

[@oluwabunmioluwadamilola4185]

Thanks for the video

[@ktrudy1]

I think my color is mostly now all black and gray. I can’t wear white because I’m too clumsy LOL always get some thing on it. But I have a few colors and a couple of pattern dresses. As I’ve heard on refer to before as wild cards lol

[@lynnetrue4103]

The big question on the color subject is....once you know the right colors for you how do you find those colors in the stores? It seems the industry chooses the colors of the moment and that's all that's in the store. I don't online shop but if one does how does one truly know if the color one is seeing is the actual color of the garment?

[@TanayaSinead]

I've been so obessed with color analysis just lately, its such an interesting theory to dive into. I have a question, do you think we naturally gravitate towards the colors that work for us?

[@UseLess_dk]

Interesting question! Actually in many cases, yes! It’s funny because my colour analysis trainer said that we often see this because we tend to choose colours that fits our personality. I’m a soft colour type and already I’ve always been very drawn to soft and calm colours, which I think suit my personality very well! Doesn’t always have to be this way, but yes we do see it happen a lot 😊 quite fascinating really! Thanks for your comment ❤️ Signe xx

[@TanayaSinead]

@@UseLess_dk That's so cool Signe! Thank you for sharing that with me I just thought I was imagining it... You're more than welcome ❤xo

[@jacquelinea8224]

@@UseLess_dk this is reassuring. I feel like my personality type is leading me away from things like structured collars, and blazers, and the stronger shades in my cool palette. I love your style. You seem to be able to pull off structure while still looking soft. It's obvious you've been doing this for a while!

[@janicevin4207]

I have a problem finding clothes in the colours that suit me. The stores offer more or less the same colours every season and not all of the colours. Even 2nd hand shopping I find it hard to find the right colours for me....

[@jacquelinea8224]

Exactly!

[@UseLess_dk]

It can be quite tricky, I completely agree! When you have a wallet of swatches to bring with you, even for comparison when shopping online (a bit trickier again, since you really need to study the images to see the colour), it does become easier to find your colours though. ☺️ not necessarily every single one, but it becomes a lot easier. Just a tip if you’d like to dive deeper into it! Most colour consultants sell these swatch wallets as part of their service when you go and have your colour type analysed. Signe xx

[@noemivarga-kokh]

I agree. I am a bright type and stores just don't really sell bright stuff like orange and warm yellow that is not mustard pieces are really rare. Not even around summer. But you can always find light pastels which are not very flattering on me.

I am a winter, at least that's what I was told. The problem is that the majority of colors that suit me are so intense (eg fuchsia, deep aubergine purple, blue based red) that I don't feel confident enough to integrate them into my daily wardrobe as core pieces... Any suggestions???

[@anneworks]

You could start small, especially in winter. Buy a top with a collar or a roll neck and layer it. First under a jumper so only the collar is visible. Then, when you feel more comfortable, under a vest or jacket. Or start with jewelry or make up.

[@vesna2953]

o God, that`s my big problem, find color which suit me, I have a lot compliments on red ,red ,bright red, they told me goes good with my face color ,I don't know, sometimes I think I have warm undertone, sometimes neutral

[@Anoek66]

One thing i realised is that clothes with prints or words on them usually don’t look good. (On me i think at least.) unless its stripes or a panter print sometimes

I think black is better on you than navy. A nice contrast with your hair.

[@ice_princess1203]

disagree - she is very light. Black colour is too dark and overpowering.

[@azalea77]

I think black is too harsh for her, navy brings up her eye color

If she is "soft", means she should better avoid high contrast.
