Are you looking through your wardrobe and asking, “How do I choose the right colour for me?’ I’m sure you’ve heard that choosing the wrong colour can make you appear dull, while the right colour for your skin tone can make you look vibrant. In case you didn’t know, everyone can wear colour – you just need to identify which shade is right for you!
But how do you go about it?
There are so many things you need to take into consideration when choosing the right colours for you. This is why I have dedicated a whole module in my upcoming online style course (email to register: Natalia@www.style-and-you.com), where I dive into much more detail on how to select the best colour to match your skin tone and natural complexion.
However, here I want to provide you with value and share some quick wins so you can start using them straight away. Watch my 5 quick tips HERE to ensure you wear only colours that complement you and your natural features.
Knowledge is power! And I hope this quick video helped you weed out the colours that are not best for you. Let me know if these style tips on how to choose the right colour for you helped you in selecting your best shades.

It’s no secret that in our modern world, it’s hard to achieve success without confidence. But did you know that apart from other obvious factors such as degrees and qualifications, you can also achieve/transform your confidence through your clothing?
But how do you do it, you might ask?
You can find answers to your style questions from my interview with the Center for Personal Science, where I was asked to share my professional opinion on how the clothes we wear on a day-to-day basis affect our mood and confidence. While sharing fashion and style guidelines that might help you feel more confident in your clothing choices, we covered a range of topics, starting from motivation and personal development to:
Defining clothing and how to dress according to your personal/professional goals and the way you want to be seen in the world.
How to use clothing to make an instant impact (without saying a word).
Insight into how our clothing can directly affect not only our mood, self-esteem, and confidence but also have an influence on our thoughts and how we perceive ourselves.
How wearing certain colours can play an important role in achieving a flattering style that can uplift your mood and confidence.
Why we can’t ignore other aspects of personal style such as your style personality, body shape, and other factors (including examples as to WHY that is)…
My 5 quick tips on how to determine if the colour is right for you (definitely a MUST-watch).
Insights into some of the colour combinations (that I cover in-depth in my paid style program), but I couldn’t resist sharing them, as I wanted you to get as much value as possible from just this interview alone!
A brief overview of key style building blocks that cannot be ignored to ensure you stop making the same mistakes over and over again and start enjoying your style. Consider it a recipe for your style success! 🙂
Easy and simple guidelines on how to determine your body shape (which I also cover in-depth in my style program).
Insight into style techniques I personally use to help me feel my best and confident every day while creating well-thought-out outfits and much more.
So, as you can see, this interview is jam-packed with plenty of style tips and insights that anyone can use straight away.
After all, confidence comes from knowledge, and knowledge is power! Once you have that knowledge of what works for you and looks good on you, then choosing clothes and clothes shopping becomes a breeze! And this is because you become so clear about what you need so that you simply stop double-guessing yourself and there is no more confusion but only confidence!
Of course, you won’t get this knowledge in just one simple one-line answer or overnight. And this is exactly what I teach in my online style program in just 6 weeks! Imagine, in just 6 weeks you can have the style of your dreams! In my style program, I show you how to set yourself up for style success, unlock the power of your personal style, and dress for success with confidence.

Do you love wearing midi skirts and dresses? Or are you just thinking of investing in one? But how do you get your midi length right and ensure it looks most flattering on you?
We see a multitude of midi skirts everywhere these days due to their popularity and practicality, and they work for any age, shape, or size. Midi dresses are also ultra-versatile and will work on all body shapes, thanks to the fact that they highlight the ankles, which is a flattering look for all women. However, since midi skirts/dresses vary in length and we all have different heights and body proportions, it is important to know your ideal midi length point to ensure your skirts (and your legs!) look flattering.
Generally speaking, the term “midi” applies to any length ending anywhere below your knees and above your ankles. The most popular lengths for the majority of women are just above the swell of the calf (i.e., approximately 5 cm below the knees) or just below the calves (so that a few centimetres of ankle show).
Since there is no definite correct length, the golden rule of style is that midi skirts/dresses should end below your knee, BUT above the widest part of your calf, OR below the widest part of your calf. Anywhere else, and it looks unflattering!
Take a look at these images I’ve put together for you to illustrate my point. Here you can see my midi trench dress with different length points.

In the images on your left, you will notice how the dress length hits the middle of my calves (i.e., at the time I bought this dress). However, in the images on your right, you can see the dress length ends just below the knee level, therefore making it look more proportionate while making my legs look slimmer and more flattering. This is because the midi lengths on the right end at the narrower part of the upper leg compared to the middle of my calves, as you can see in the images on the left. Do you notice the difference?
In short, the most unflattering length is exactly at the widest part of your calf!!!
Additionally, if you are petite or on the shorter side, you should look for a midi dress that stops above the calf, as this will visually elongate your legs and make you appear taller.
Now, considering this simple rule, think about and examine your midi skirts/dresses and see where they end. Do they end at the narrowest or widest part of your leg? If the latter, then you can get them tailored to your needs by simply taking them up yourself (if you own a sewing machine) or by bringing them to a local alteration service (as I did in my case). This simple alteration will make a huge difference and make your skirts, dresses, and legs look more proportionate and flattering too.
