We all have that one friend who seems to always look effortlessly stylish. Whatever the occasion they always get it ‘just right’ and seem to be able to look put-together and chic without seeming to have spent hours and hours getting ready.
What is the secret of these stylish women and how can we unlock those same style tricks to create the same effect with our own wardrobe?
This is where our Colour Me Beautiful style consultation services come in and in today we’re sharing exactly what happens during a style session with one of our Colour Me Beautiful consultants so that you will know how to translate this season’s trends effortlessly into your wardrobe in a way that truly flatters you.
What is covered in a style consultation?
We may be famous for our Colour Consultation services first and foremost but our expertly trained Colour Me Beautiful image consultants also know a thing or two about style.
During their personal styling courses our consultants are trained to understand your style personality, body shape, proportions and scale in order to advise you on which styles, cuts and fabrics of clothing will work best for you, and how to style them in a way that flatters both your body shape and your unique personality and style preferences.
All of this is covered within a style consultation including advice on patterns and accessories and recommendations for which shops are best suited to you. Our consultants will also talk to you about the key trends for the season ahead and how you can effectively translate these into your wardrobe.
What is a ‘style personality’?
Colour Me Beautiful have developed a clever questionnaire which you will complete at the start of your style consultation. The questionnaire consists of 10 questions which will reveal which one of six dominant style personalities you are.
Style personalities range from creative to classic, romantic to natural and dramatic to city chic - most people have a dominant style personality and then possibly another category that they score quite highly in too. Your consultant will explain what your answers mean and how your personality can be expressed through your style.
How does my consultant determine my body shape? Will I have to strip off?
No! We would recommend you wear clothing to your appointment that allows your consultant to see your body line (or a loose top layer that can be removed in the privacy of your consultant’s studio if you prefer). You will not need to strip to your underwear or be poked and prodded in front of a mirror! Your consultant will assess your body shape by asking you a few questions and assessing you just by looking at you - it’s as easy as that and only takes a few minutes.
Our Style Consultation will give you the knowledge you need to wear clothing that flatters and works for you
What should I wear?
Just choose an everyday outfit that you feel comfortable in, there is no need to get dressed up at all (unless you want to of course, in which case, go for it!)
How will I remember everything?
You don’t need to! During your consultation your consultant will make a note of everything in one of our Colour Me Beautiful style workbooks which you will take away with you at the end of your session. So you can sit back, relax and enjoy the whole process knowing you will have a personalised reference tool to take home with you at the end of the day.
