Decades ago the trend of analyzing the best
colors a person should wear based on their individual skin tone,
eye color and hair color swept the country. Women (and even some
men!) had their “colors done” and found out what “season”
they fit into. More importantly, they tapped into the power behind
the reality that the colors we wear can make us feel better and
make others feel better around us.
