How to choose a winter coat

A winter coat is a great staple so we all need a coat/jacket or two for the cooler months.

The great thing about having a stylish cosy winter jacket is you can almost have a trans seasonal wardrobe. Wear your lovely silk shirts and stylish jeans and keep warm enough with your coat.

A good jacket is usually a substantial investment so be sure to make a wise purchase.  

Top 5 tips to choosing the perfect winter jacket.

Always choose the right colour

I know a lot of women just settle for a black coat thinking it goes with everything. But this is not the case.

Once you’ve had your colours done, you will be aware of the many colour choices you can make.

It’s so much more fun choosing a colour than just going all black. My suggestion is, with something like a coat you may want to stick with the neutrals in your seasonal colour swatch to make the colour more versatile, to go with many more outfits.

Now I am not saying your yellow jacket won’t go with many things. It will. As long as it’s a yellow in your colour palette. But a beige in your colours will probably cater to more outfits

The right length

Your height will determine what length of jacket you can wear. Generally, the taller you are the longer the jacket you can wear. So if you are a tall slim build, you can almost wear a long jacket to your ankles.

If you are shorter best to choose a long jacket to just above the knee.

If you’re choosing a coat rather than a full length jacket, the taller you are the longer you can wear a short jacket as well.

Women with slimmer waists or the petite size women, can have a short jacket, like a Chanel cut that sits on the waist.

Width of lapels

 Broad lapels accentuate width. If you are broad chested, busty or have a fuller figure, opt for a slimline lapel.

Keep the look sleek and simple. If you are a slimmer person with narrow hips you can wear wider lapels or if you are very tall you can usually carry a wider lapel. If you have narrow shoulders you can balance the top part of your body with a wider lapel as well.

 Position of buttons

Double breasted buttons accentuate width so best to wear the jacket open if that is the case. If you are fuller in the waist avoid a button on the waist and go for a single breasted coat.

Side Pockets

Pockets draw attention to the area they are placed so consider if and where you would like to have pockets.

One more thing you may wish to consider is the fabric and the cut of the garment. You get what you pay for when it comes to something like a coat and jacket and this is probably where you need to spend a little more to get a great cut and fabulous fabric.

You can often see a lovely coat in the right colour and style, but inferior fabric will sometimes pill and lose it’s shape pretty quickly. Go for something special and it will be keeping you warm and stylish for many seasons to come.

Dress your personality

This is the last step of the top to toe transformation. If you follow the 7 steps on my blogs, I promise you will see a major difference for the better with your Image. I have seen so many women over the years gain so much more confidence and style and really get to love the way they look.

Dressing YOUR Personality

I’m a great believer of being true to yourself. There is absolutely no point in dressing like someone else. You know the old saying. “be yourself everyone else is taken”

My very strong advice though, is always be yourself within your own colours.

If you choose outfits in the wrong colours you will not look like your “true self”

If you completely change the way you look but if it’s not congruent with your personality and who you are, you’ll never feel comfortable.

If you may make some major changes with your make over, it’s important to stay within your personality type.

Your Personality type

What’s your personality type? And how to dress accordingly.

We all have a dominant personality type so dressing to that really makes sense. There are a few obvious personalities to note.

The crazy sanguine, who is always the life of the party. The very quiet introverts, or the super conservatives and then there’s the all about business types.

Imagine a total introvert wearing large hats, big bold beautiful beads, outrageous colours and crazy make up.

You know the ones. It just wouldn’t go, would it?

Or a super extrovert looking like a school marm, dressed in uniform khaki’s, looking drab, dull and uninteresting. Oh I am not saying there’s anything wrong with being super introverted or that a super conservative needs to look dead, dull and boring. What I am saying is that every personality type can look amazing in styles that complement their personality.

7 Style personality types to consider.

There are many style personalities, I believe, but to make it simple and a round number let’s look at 7 different style types and see if you can see yourself in one, two or many.

Certainly there’s no reason for you to stick to one type. You can feel comfortable and look fabulous in a number of different style genres,

Elegant

The elegant dresser is effortlessly classy and beautiful. Elegant can cover a lot of styles and of course it is a little more dressy than a casual outfit. Elegant can be worn day or night and it’s wonderful to be described as someone that always looks elegant.

Aim for great fitting, lovely fabrics and a beautiful hang to the garment. Do you have to spend a million dollars? Not always. You can dress elegantly without spending big dollars, so be sure the garment is of reasonable quality. I must stress that it is always important to dress your personality strictly in the colours that are in your colour palette.

Your style always suffer if it is not in the right colours.

Classic

Classic is timeless style. Something that looks good in the 50’s or in modern times. We’ve all seen those vintage looks that we admire and wish we could see them in the shops today. Gorgeous, great lines and forever fashionable.

Sporty

Our body shape often dictates the sort of styles that suit us best. So obviously the sporty girl with a more athletic look is going to look great in a sporty type style. Comfortable, easy go anywhere style.

Dramatic

Dramatic comes with a punch. You will never overlook the dramatic dresser. Be careful in your attempts to look dramatic you may go for the wrong colours so be sure to work within your colour palette. Looking dramatic in the wrong colours can make you look garish and sometimes silly. Dramatic style lends itself to unusual cuts, bold prints, geometric prints, glamorous shoes, unusual accessories like interesting bags and shoes. Be bold with your colour mixes within your seasonal colours.

Boho

This feminine and flirty style is always current, always beautiful and can suit women of all ages. It’s just not for the young girls, so adjust the styles accordingly. Boho lends itself to pretty prints and laces and frills, gorgeous hats and lovely sandals. It is always a lovely summer choice.

Feminine

You can’t mistaken  the feminine style. Soft, floaty, womanly. The feminine style is not for everyone. Frills and lace may not suit you, your personality or even your body shape. This style really enhances the petite woman.

Chic

Chic is the cutting edge look. Usually worn by the confident sophisticate. Really goes well with expensive makes and cuts. Emulate this style in your own way but always aim to be chic, I always say. And don’t let age get in the way.

Well here are just a few style ideas for you to ponder. I think with fashion always aim to be more creative, more chic and more beautiful. Every woman has her own unique beauty and fashion is all about finding that and playing beautifully with it.

Have fun and remember I am always here to help at Your Colours and style Sydney.

Time to cull your make up

How’s your make up stash? Have you a box full or multiple drawers of make up? Have you been collecting since the 80’s or are you someone that has a very small amount of make up?

Make up is like clothes

Make up is like clothes. You can only wear so much. If you have been hoarding the stuff for years, there will be drawers full of unhygienic matter, so maybe it’s time to cull.

Being organized and only carrying the right amount of anything is just a good idea, one that becomes more appealing to me as I grow older. So let’s get busy and cull our make up and get sorted in the make up department.

Ideally our make up should be a neat little package of the current cosmetics that are totally suited to us. Whenever I see my clients for a make up session or a personal stylist session, I always ask them to bring  all their make up along. That way we can determine together what is and what isn't helpful for them to wear.

What to throw away

The very first thing that must go is make up in the wrong colours. So many women say they have trouble getting the right foundation for example. So we find a foundation that’s perfect for them. It really is no use wearing the wrong make up just because you spent money on it.

Eyeshadows, lipsticks and blushes in the wrong colours have to go as well.

Black mascara and the wrong colour kohl pencils are not good to keep.

Any make up that’s over 2 years old, most definitely should be tossed out.

It will probably be going off.

They say we should even replace our mascara every 6 months. Putting the wand in and out and applying to our lashes can introduce little germs.

Old brushes are best to be replaced and brushes, make up bags and containers need a regular clean.

What make up do we need?

Make up of course is individual. Some women love make up and are very good at applying it and other women are completely lost when it comes to wearing make up.

As an Image consultant, my view is mature women need make up to cover aging signs and define those fading features, like brows and lips. We can have a more youthful look just by wearing our make up well.

Before and after-Make up in the right colours

Make up essentials.

Here is a little list of the make up basics that after the original outlay will not break the bank, because you’ll use every drop of each product.

1. Foundation-A great place to start. In the right colour of course, the right foundation can make you look years younger. YCS Cosmetics has foundation for ALL skin tones. It’s then just about choosing the formula you love to wear.

2. Concealer A must product for older clients as it hides the dark and aged skin tone. Also doubles as a lovely eye base as well. I use the #104 on all my clients.

3. Eyeshadows.Choose 1-5 in light, medium and darker shades in your colour palette of course. Mix and match and create your own eyeshadow look.

4. Kohl pencils 1 or 2 in your colours are ample. Use for tight lines, highlighting lids etc

5. Brown mascara. Is a must for mature eyes. So much softer and more appealing.

6. Lip pencils. Mature lips need to be defined and no better way than a lip pencil. A couple in darker shades and lighter shades to highlight your lipstick colours. You can also use lip pencils to create lots of lip colour ideas.

7. Lipsticks. My favourite so have as many as you like in your colours. Great for lip condition and YCS lipsticks are chock full of essential oils.

8. Powder-Powder is optional so go for a translucent powder or a neutral wet and dry powder to seal your foundation, remove shine or just act as a foundation on it’s own.

9. Blush or rose gold bronzer in your colours to lift cheeks, define and shine. It looks beautiful.

10 Brow kit. Our brows need colour and definition. They thin and go grey, so a brow kit does wonders.

These are go anywhere, suit every make up solution.

Why your colours make up matters

Are you happy with your makeup?

Do you think a little tweek here and there would help?

Have you been wearing the same make up for decades and feel a little tired and jaded?

So many women are confused, depressed and lacking confidence when it comes to applying make up.

But are there a few beauty hacks that can change all that?

Well yes there are and like every new skill just learning the main things can be a real game changer and something that can help your make up confidence soar.

The main thing about make up

Of course there are lots of little tips and tricks to make up, but if I was to name just a couple of things that would make your make up better the number one tip I would give is wear the right colours for your underskin tone.

Now you may have heard about wearing your colours or "getting your colours done" but how does that affect your make up?

Wearing the right colour make up is definetely a real key to looking your best.

Make up needs to "blend" into your natural colour skin tone, not sit on the top.

That's why a professional colour analysis really helps.

I would say that even if you are not great at application just wearing your colours make up makes the world of difference.

Conversely you may be a brilliant make up artist, but the wrong colours can spoil the whole look.

The wrong colour make up

The wrong make up colours can make your skin look pallid

The wrong make up colours can be too bright or garrish

The wrong make up colours can make you look dull and aged

The wrong make up colours can make you look less attractive.

The wrong make up colours can change the shape of your features

The wrong make up colours can diminish your eyes

The wrong make up colours can make your lips look strange

The wrong make up colours can make you look strange

The wrong make up colours can make you look a fright

The wrong make up colours can make you look a different colour

These are just a few reasons why you don't want to wear the wrong make up colours and finding the right colours for your underskin tone is a good goal to have.

Make up in Your Colours

Your Colours and style make up range YCS Cosmetics is designed with your skin tone in mind.

How to dress your shape

Our final step to your top to toe transformation is a 3 part step 7-Dress your age, dress your shape and dress your personality.

Part 2 of step 7 is -dress your shape.

Remember this all comes after you have determined your colours.

Colours is the basis to your image success.

Once you've understood your colours, all the rest will fall into place.

A simple way to dress your shape

Dressing your shape can be a complex equation of figures, dimensions and lengths, but there is a simple way for you to see what shapes, styles and designs best suit you.

I try to make this step as simple as possible for my clients, and learning to use our eye, is a great way to discover design. 

One good way is to imagine yourself as a rectangle.

Some of course will be more rectangle than others depending on height and thinness.

A rectangular shape that's 6 feet tall and a size 8 will look different to a rectangle that's 5 feet tall and a size 16.

Look at yourself in the mirror and think about balance. How can you make that rectangle more balanced, considering shoulder and hip width?

You can make your rectangle more elongated by adding heels for example and slimming down the pant width?

Or maybe having mono colours and no patterns, if you are aiming to look taller, will give you a better shape.

There are lots of little tricks to get that balance right.

What shape are you?-straight or curvy?

To make life simple, I like to put women into only one of 2 categories for shape.

Of course there are many more, but as a personal stylist, I find this is simple way of dressing and it works every time.

You are either a straight shape or a curvy shape.

The straight shape is determined by a thicker waist. You may have a small or large bust. You may have a flat tummy or a fuller tummy especially as you mature. And as you mature, you may even develop a muffin top, which is very common.  In general you have smaller hips as well.

The curvy shape will always have a slimmer waist. Usually bigger hips and bigger bust size goes with the curvy look aka Kim Kardashian.

So you can imagine yourself as a rectangle with a tie around the middle to pull it in like a bow.

How to dress the 2 shapes

The curvy shape

The curvier figure will look fabulous in fitted waisted clothes.

You can probably go a little tighter and more fitted. You're waist is an asset and belts and tuck ins are the go.

Often the curvy shape will have small shoulders with a large bust, scooped and cut out necks, minimizes and show off that feature.

Avoid detail around the hips, like pockets and stripes and frilled tops.

Fitted knee length skirts will slim down the hip area, but don't go too tight around the hips. 

Bring all the focus towards the slimmer waist or the lower cut tops. Remember less fabric and fullness "tidies" the whole look.

Jackets sit neatly just below the waist. The Chanel cut works wonders.

Each body is individual so a little trial and error always helps.

The straight shape

Of course the straight shape comes in all sizes. Dressing for success depends on your height and your size. A very tall slim person can wear lots of length and flow for example

A shorter straight figure should avoid garments that are too long and flowey as they will swamp you.

A general rule of thumb for most straight figures is to stick to classic shapes.

Avoid tuck ins or belts, unless you are very slim.

Fitted but not tight tops sitting around the belly button or a little below are usually a good length. Don't wear things that are too tight, but not too loose and sloppy either.Tailored and nicely fitted garments look great.

If you are a straight body shape with broad shoulders, adopt ways to minimize shoulder width, like creating V necks and have smaller jacket lapels and un padded shoulders. 

These little tips are only a guide. Like I said every body is different and you will always benefit from a personal shopping trip with the help of a professional personal shopper.

DRESS YOUR AGE, SHAPE AND PERSONALITY

The final step of your transformation is three pronged.

It’s what creates your individualism.

It’s about dressing your age, your shape and your personality.

It's about finalizing your top to toe signature style

You’re special- ness is shown when you take all these 3 things into consideration.

PART 1 DRESS YOUR AGE.

Every person is an individual and your own  look comes into play by following ALL of the 7 steps to transformation.

Our shape and size, colour and ethnicity, age and personality are all a part of who we are.

No two individuals are the same and who wants to be a cookie cutter image of everyone else anyway?

This is one of the reasons why I take an exception to all women wearing black from top to toe.

AVOID BLACK

It’s a little difficult to be creative or look different if we are all wearing black.

OUR STYLE CHANGES AS WE MATURE

Our fashion and style needs to grow and change with us.

Have you noticed you can’t keep doing the things you’ve always done as you grow older?

WHAT NOT TO WEAR AS YOU AGE

Try standing next to your 25 year old daughter wearing exactly the same outfit. Something looks a little out of place and that something is you.

Follow the mature rules and manage to look younger and more appealing that way.

I like to use the decades rule. Each decade has it’s own set of challenges and so we need to accommodate the challenges and changes and grow gracefully to have stunning style

Age is no barrier to beauty and mature style that's done well,  can always be a mark of elegance.

WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE AS WE MATURE

Here are a few simple style tips to think about as the decades roll on, to avoid looking like “mutton dressed as lamb”

These applications will help you look your stunning best.

Though there are exceptions to every rule, these are some general no no’s for maturing women.

Remember most of us don’t look like the celebrities, so best not to follow their lead. The images we often see of famous people are often photo-shopped and they spend hundreds and thousands of dollars to defy the years. These images are not reality for most women.

I think some women believe if they dress like their daughters they’ll look years younger, but the opposite is mostly true.

With all that in mind here are my 20 top things mature women should avoid to look more youthful and beautiful

WHAT NOT TO WEAR AS YOU MATURE

1. Cover loose arms
2. Cover large legs
3. Lower hems
4. Raise necklines
5. Avoid a very dark tan
6. Avoid bling
7. Lower heels
8. Shorten boots
9. Avoid shimmers and shines
10. Avoid tight clothes
11. Shorten very long nails
12. Shorten long hair
13. Avoid lots of detail
14. Avoid buckles and bows
15. Avoid very heavy make up
16. Avoid false everything,( it only looks false)
17. Avoid backless
18. Avoid strapless
19. Avoid cut-outs
20. Avoid halters.

Colour analysis for your Personal style

Have you ever had your colours done?

Are you aware of the benefits to your look by wearing your colours?

If you're a young woman or a mature woman, wearing the right colours is really a style game changer.

(Young woman before and after wearing her colours)

Certainly if you are a mature woman, wearing the right colours is so important.More so than when you are young.

If you notice yourself, often looking a little dull and drab , it will most likely be because you're not wearing colours that suit you.

(Even celebrities can improve on their colours)

An example of her wearing the right colours. To maintain a youthful look, she should refer to the colour palette on the right.

Women in the right Colours

A professional colour analysis, will help you find ALL the right Colours in your Seasonal Colour Palette.

It's all about the underskin tone

Colours really change the way you look.

To show the client  the right colours that suit them, the stylist will have a serious of cool, warm, dominant and muted coloured drapes.

The draping kit will have a variety of shades to demonstrate  just how much the skin colour is affected by placing swatches against the skin.

It's up to the colour consultant to reveal to the client just how each colour affects the way they look

At first glance the coral swatch may appear suitable but the clarity of the skin, eyes, hair and lips is muddied on the left.

The wrong colours are less noticeable on younger skin, as a younger woman has less things she wants to conceal.

The pink swatch shows how flattering the cooler shades are on this model.

(Note how the Coral colour adds an orangey warm tone?)

Once the cool tones are deemed best on this client, the colour consultant goes on to reveal how the cool tones are a better fit.

The cool shades are made up of 2 palettes, one cool dominant and the other cool muted.

(It's obvious just how much younger, slimmer and more attractive this mature woman appears when she wears the right colours, on the right)

The process of a colour analysis

Since the 60's Colours has gone through major changes.

Originally Colour me Beautiful and other Colour Companies and Franchaise had just 4 seasonal palettes. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

From there many Colour systems emerged, making way for many different interpretations and mass confusion.

The 4 Colours system is and was accurate, but many untrained and unskilled analysts misdiagnosed clients, hence many confusing systems appeared.

The analysis is only as good as the consultant interpreting the colours and their clients colours.

Step by step Colour analysis

The client needs to be firstly draped with one cool and one warm pink tone.

Then one of each of the groups of seasonal colours.

The analysis will reveal that all the colours from the one palette will suit that client.

From that one palette, the analyst can then show the client the thousands of colour choices that fit within that colour palette

Why are the 4 seasonal palettes so accurate?

There are an infinite number of colours

When you think of it, every colour on the planet can fit into one of 4 categories.

They are either Cool Dominant, Cool Muted, Warm Brights or Warm Deep Colours.

So when the colour consultant does your analysis, they need to find the right palette that "blends" with your underskin tone.

They also need to have a good knowledge about how to slot the 2.5 million plus colours into the right category.

There are so many different seasonal colour swatches on the market, and many have combinations of all the colour categories in the one seasonal palette.

Women are confused and go back to wearing any old colour.

I have seen so many women like this, which is a real shame and they never experience the beauty of colour

For more information contact Your Colours and style

How do your colours affect your style? Colour is key to your image success. In fact I would have to say, as an image consultant colour contributes to as much as 80% to your total look. Sadly most women are not realising their full image and style potential simply because they are unaware of the multiplicity of gorgeous and stunning colours that will bring them to life. As a mature colour consultant my passion is for women to look their best all the time in their colours.

YOUR SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

When was the last time you went shopping? In store or online. How did you go?

Are you one of those frustrated shoppers that come home empty, or worse still return with a bunch of clothes you never wear?

No wonder you hate shopping. No one loves doing something they ‘re not good at.

The good news is you can be a saavy and stylish shopper. So here are a few simple tips to guide you to success. Read the blog to the end to grab a few DIY steps to your style success.

WHY YOUR COLOURS?

Personal stylists with a very good understanding of colour theory will help you to shop for success.

Colour advice is first and foremost to good fashion choices.

Colours are the key to your Image success. You can roam around the shops aimlessly for hours if you have no idea of the colours that suit you. Or you can grab lots of interesting and lovely items and bargains as well.

How would you feel if after 3 hours of shopping you could find 30 items you love?

It’s all about colour.

COLOURS EXPAND YOUR CHOICES.

There’s a misunderstanding that shopping for your colours only limits your shopping choices.

Actually the opposite is true.

Whilst those that don’t know their colours , search for anything in any colour, a colour specialist can guide you to all your colour choices.

That way you can eliminate all the bad choices and only go for the right choices.  This makes shopping, targeted, fun and exhilarating.

You will be more qualified once you know your colours.

AN ACCURATE COLOUR ANALYSIS

Exploring the world of colour is a wonderful experience. With over 16million colours available you can see how colours and colour theory can be a little confusing.

It’s important to have an accurate analysis as there are countless colour systems on the market.

Your colours and style comes with 15 years colour experience and many thousands of testimonials to the advantages of knowing your colours.

THE IMPORTANCE OF COLOUR AS WE AGE.

We’ve all heard the expression “mutton dressed up as lamb”

Wearing the wrong colours gives this result. Younger women don’t look as bad in the wrong colours as more mature women do.

 The wrong colours are very aging for a number of reasons.

Some colours are too bright or too dull or just too powerful. In this case a less than attractive look is achieved. The wrong colours make us look bigger and frumpier also.

HOW TO KNOW YOUR COLOURS.

My personal advice as a colour consultant is to make having a colour analysis your first style choice.

So many women tell this changes everything and they wished they’d done it a long time ago.

It’s not easy to see for yourself what does and doesn’t suit you.

It’s a 15 minute experience that changes everything.

You can also do this online in the comfort of your own home and gain professional help with your style after that.

DIY TIPS FOR YOUR COLOURS

If you haven’t had this experience of having your colours done as yet, here are a few little tips to help yourself.

Take a few pictures of yourself wearing colour.

Ask yourself the following questions

Do I look bigger in that colour?

Does that colour reflect on my face?

What colour is reflecting on my face?

Do I appear to have more pigmentation in this colour?

Do my eyes look brighter in this colour?

Does my hair shine?

Are my teeth white or yellow?

Does this colour make me look red?

Does this colour cast shadow and give me more lines?

Do I look yellow in that colour?

Is the colour too bright?

Is the colour too strong?

Is the colour dull on me?

These are the things a professional colour stylist will look at to guide you to your perfect colour choices
