Black is the most slimming colour so you’re told? Some of you may die but it’s a sacrifice i’m willing to make shirt Now I’ve talked about that before here, but if you missed the memo, the reason why people think black is the most slimming is the simple logic: If light colours advance and make you look larger and dark colours recede so should make you look smaller. – what’s the darkest colour? Well black. But… if you look at another of the properties of colours which is the spectrum of intensity, if bright colours are advancing (larger) and muted colours more receding (slimming) what’s black? It’s BRIGHT – that’s right – as soon as you soften black it becomes grey (no longer black) and so (cue Beethoven’s 5th Symphony …da na na na naaaaaaa) black is ADVANCING and makes itself more apparent. Also, colours have visual weight – white is the lightest, and black the darkest – and so black feels HEAVY (particularly on someone who has light colouring it’s really noticeable). Black weighs you down, it can also make you appear shorter when wearing it on your top half and a lighter colour on your bottom half. So if muted colours are more slimming, then a darker muted colour will be more slimming that black, ergo… Does black go with everything? It’s a cool, deep and bright colour – so it goes well with other colours with those properties, but it really doesn’t look good with warm colours and muted colours, other colours look way better with those, it’s just that most people have gotten so used to seeing black with everything they don’t see how it clashes. Get my tips here on how to stop buying and wearing black when it’s not flattering for you. When you’re wearing colours that aren’t in harmony with your own colouring you’ll look more washed out, pale, tired and even jaundiced, as I discovered when I was 16 and bought myself a mustard yellow jumper (sweater). Every time I wore it people would ask me with concerned looks on their faces “are you feeling OK?” to which I always replied that I was find, and wondered to myself why they asked me that. When I learned about colours and how that mustard yellow colour was not in harmony with my cool colouring, it suddenly made sense and that jumper was donated to a home where it would be flattering to the wearer. If you’re ever in a store and the sales assistant says “you just need a bright lippy with that” then it’s a great indication that the colour is wearing you and less than flattering on you and should be avoided. These are the colours inherent in you – they are in your skin, your lips, your eyes, your hair and when you repeat those colours in your clothes and jewellery, you really do look amazing. And very rarely is black a signature colour! When doing a colour analysis one of the steps is to find from the generic palette of around 50 colours, the 15 that are your personal signature colours.

Considering the fact that Khaite was just founded in 2016, Some of you may die but it’s a sacrifice i’m willing to make shirt the journey of this brand thus far is quite remarkable. Founder and designer Catherine Holstein started the brand as an ode to American staples and all the classics that went along with it. Since its beginning, the brand has evolved into much more. Khaite’s first runway show in 2019 had every editor and buyer clamoring as one glamorous look after another came out. It was here that we were truly introduced to Holstein’s vision for the brand, and her S/S 20 collection was just the cherry on top. It’s rare that one major (and first-ever, might I add) runway collection can convince an entire industry that this is the brand to know, buy, and wear, but the elegance and drama of her last two collections had everyone drinking the Kool-Aid. While the brand hasn’t quite reached the same status as Bottega Veneta, its trajectory over the last two years has proved that it is on its way to the very tip-top. “Cate Holstein of Khaite is creating such beautiful, showstopping pieces. The craftsmanship is absolutely impeccable and something that everyone can appreciate. My personal favorite is their denim—the fit and wash are flawless,” says Shopbop’s fashion director, Caroline Maguire. And that’s the thing about Khaite—buying into the brand is buying into a very well-curated wardrobe that will never go out of style. “From the jeans to the shoes, this is definitely going to be the next It brand in 2020,” said a Who What Wear reader. Yes, iconic pieces are already highly praised, such as those zebra boots and all of the noteworthy knitwear, but to be simultaneously recognized for the subtler items in a collection, like denim and poplin shirts, means this is a brand that is destined for success.
