With the season’s abundance of fresh new colourways, now’s the time to get on board with colour. A quick and easy way to feel good, a good dose of colour therapy can revitalise your wardrobe and your mood. Here’s your quick and easy guide to embracing feel-good colour.

While there is much to be said for the comprehensive analysis of a colour consultation, wearing the shades you love needn’t be so prescriptive. Colour should be an asset, not a restriction. Wearing colour well is about understanding which hues go well together, not about telling people what colours they can and can’t wear.

Forget the many degrees of skin tone, the simplest and most effective way to wear colour successfully is to look at contrast. Look at the colour of your hair compared with your eye colour and the colour of your skin - the greater the contrast between your features, the more vibrant the colours of clothing will look good on you. High contrast features such as Snow White-style dark hair, pale skin and light eyes or light hair and dark eyes for example, should play up this contrast with bold and contrasting colours and prints. The more similar your hair colour is to your skintone, the more a muted palette will work for you.
