One of the biggest goals of most of our style clients is not, necessarily, to look rich. It's to look attractive. To look powerful, competent, and refined for business. To look and feel handsome or stunning, personally. It just happens to be that, in order to achieve these style goals, we have found that most clothing tastes, accessories, and jewelry that accomplish these end goals generally tend to look, well...rich.

But you don't need to be wealthy to be able to find pieces that look wealthy. You just need to know what makes rich people, and you, look rich.

So let's explore skin tones a little deeper using the "seasons" scale and guide you on the best wardrobe colors for you based on your hair, eye color, and skin tone.

Summer and winter are the cool skin tones, while spring and autumn are the warm ones. Again, this scale is not about how pale or dark you are. This scale is based on your undertones and establishes if you are a warm type or a cool type.

Don't be imprisoned by your color palette...

No, we're not trying to be racist or anything like that. We just want you to look your best!

Part of being able to dress in your most flattering styles is understanding what colors look best on you. If you've got that figured out you'll be able to wisely choose outfits that really make you stand out and look your best.

First, you've got to know what your skin tone is before you move on to choosing the most attractive clothes colors for your wardrobe.

Do we really need to be concerned about what's in our shampoo? It's on our heads for, like what? 2 minutes tops?

Okay. You’re thinking that it’s just hair. It’s dead. Who cares if there are some toxic ingredients in it? Hair can’t absorb it and we’re washing it out anyway.
