The thing that’s truly enticing about colour analysis is the promise of a way to embrace your natural features and still look your best. If you wear the right colour top, you can wear no makeup and refrain from dyeing your hair and still shine. But does this mean the natural ways is always the best way?

Finding your body type is hard because the Kibbe system is complicated. There are contradictions, nuances, vague descriptions and strange jargon. It can sometimes feel like the body type system is designed to keep you stuck in the loop. The response I see from many people at this point is “well it’s not real then is it”.

So, what do you want your style to say about you? Sometimes, on our worst days, clothes are just something to cover us up with and feel okay again, but at its best clothing should do so much more.

I don’t believe that finding your colour season means throwing your wardrobe in the bin and starting again.

I use these systems as tools to make my style better, not to rule my life.
