The unwanted side effects of your favourite colour

Let me just say it right away

Black does not suit everyone!
Wait! What!

I repeat myself.... Black does not suit everyone!

So now that, that's out; Let's discuss it

The probably only bad effect of black is that it makes you a lot older and adds age and if you have any blemishes on your face, then it highlights it

While wearing black does give the appearance of a slimmer figure by making the shadows from less visible, wearing it next to the face brings out the worst. It can also bring out dark circles under the eyes and lines. Also, it's just in five of us who have the correct skin tone to wear black as well

And how to avoid the shadows of black?
1. Do not wear black as a polo-neck or scarf against the face
2. If you are wearing a black top, choose one which has a low neck-line so your skin tone will reflect your face
3. Black is better if worn from the waist down as it then flatters the right parts of the body and ofcourse should be teamed up with something colourful on the top
4. Add a piece of jewelry on the neck to deviate from black top- if at all

Opt for other dark colours if you will, Brown, Navy fulfill the same purpose and suit more people

To check if black is your colour, hold a black piece of clothing under your face, from your neck-line in a natural light and look at it in the mirror. If it does not highlight anything bad on the face, then go and get it!

People with warmer skin tones, should avoid black still!

That's all that I can talk bad about black, because it still is mysterious!

    This time, it's something for the Men! I see men refraining from wearing white shirts often, never understood why! It's actually the least boring item of clothing. Always looks classy, can be made into a classy ensemble if worn with right things, so here are few tips about : what can be worn with a white shirt... 1. Let's begin with something casual! White shirt worn with shorts and sandals, This is your only chance to wear it rumpled and with rolled up sleeves. Take the most of it! Just make sure to look out for a tailored, unadorned pair, and yes, stay clear of anything with pattern or even a drawstring .  Colours could be possibly anything, for a summer anything pastel, black and navy are being a little safe, but sure! 2.

A simple addition of a garment with another can go a very long way in changing the look of your ensemble. Rule#1 Thinner clothes first The closer to your skin, the thinner the material.
