Color and Line Guidelines Tips in choosing Clothes

Christmas season is just around the corner. Bazaars and Mall Sale are once again lively and everywhere. During this season, more people are into shopping spree. It is best for us to buy clothes for the family wisely to get our money’s worth. Here are some basic guidelines in buying and choosing clothes.

It is important to know the right color that will match your skin when choosing and buying clothes.

Skin Color Suggested Fitting Color

White pale rose,blue, green, yellow or any bright color

Black medium red, yellow, green, light green, light brown

Brown pink, dirty white, dull red, violet

Note:

Dull and dark colors will make you look smaller

Black color will make you look thin

Bright and light colors will make you look larger

Lines

Vertical lines make you look taller and thinner
Horizontal lines make you look larger and shorter
Larger designs increase one’s apparent size
To look slim or thin, choose garments with small or fine designs
If you are thin and tall, wear clothes with diagonal lines to make you look larger and smaller

Collars and Necklines

V-neck and pointed collar shirts are suited for full and rounded faces
Collarless neckline is best for those with short neck
High collar for long neck
Wide collars and square necklines for those with oval-shaped faces

hubby has a full rounded face and i told him that he should wear v-neck shirts. he didn't listen. he said he hates v-neck shirts. his favorite are rounded neck shirts na lalong nagpapataba sa mukha nya.

Kahit ano na nga ngayon, pwede ng isuot ng kahit na sino. Nasa nagdadala, and it's in the attitude ika nga…

Great tips… and just like what Badudets said, important din talaga ang "attitude" para magmukhang maganda at bagay sa iyo ang suot mo.

Nice tips and you give me new learning here. I'm glad to have a light skin color – so I can use my favorite color -blue. And wow, so black will make us slim. It's a great TDI (Today I learn).

I've always thought that violet does not suit for brown skin.
