The Real Chic Life

Many stylists believe we all look best in the colors that complement our specific hair color, eye color, and the undertones of our skin. We created this fun quiz to help you determine three of your best colors based on seasonal color analysis.  If you want to know your best neutral, your power color, and your best accent color to invest in for fall, follow the steps below (Don’t worry, you’ll be skipping around, not reading every step). Your neutral color is the color that you should invest in for workwear and capsule wardrobe basics to round out your looks. Your power color is the color that makes you feel bold and confident. Invest in a chic blouse or a dress that compliments your figure in your power color and you are bound to draw compliments. Your fall accent color is perfect for outerwear, tops and accessories.

Color is also known to influence our moods. You can incorporate your colors into your home decor as well. And when selecting jewelry keep in mind that gold looks best with warm undertones and silver looks best with cool undertones. If you have neutral undertones both gold and silver jewelry work well for you.
