Can I Wear Black?

Posted on April 29, 2021April 29, 2021 by Nicola Davis

This is often the first question I am asked when people come to me for a colour analysis. I'm really not in the business of telling grown women what they can and can't do but, whilst many of us love black, sadly for some (myself included!), it doesn't give the same love back. Deeps, Cools and Clears will all have Black in their wallets; it's a useful neutral. We give Lights...

Ten Style Tips for Midsters

Posted on January 23, 2018 by Nicola Davis

I am often asked what the “rules” are for dressing post fifty. The first thing to say is that we should be able to wear what we like so I really don’t think it’s appropriate to be too prescriptive. However, I know that when some women reach middle age they lose confidence in their own ability to judge what does and doesn’t suit them. Many tell me they dread looking like “mu...

Not Everyone Is A Season!

Posted on June 23, 2016 by Nicola Davis

If you had your colours analysed some time ago, the chances are it was under the seasonal system and you will have been categorized as Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. If you’re lucky, most of the colours you were given in your wallet look good on you. However, this isn’t the case for everyone. There are some people for whom the seasonal system simply doesn’t work very well. L...
