Your Dressing Your Truth Style Guide is the key to determining whether an item is true to your Type of beauty.
But there are many more colors—and nuances to color—that your Style Guide can’t tell you! That’s where developing your expert eye comes in. The Dressing Your Truth Experts and I cover colors, nothings and training your eye to see beyond your Style Guide!
This info-packed live recording on your color group includes valuable tips, such as:
- Type 1: Turn the fabric inside out to see if there is lightness in the topstitching.
- Type 2: How to look for a store that groups items by color.
- Type 3: Use a word that reminds you of your color palette. Example: Rich.
- Type 4: When shopping, look for a mirror and hold the fabric to your face.
Enjoy many more tips and visual examples in the recording.
Best ever clubnight. Been DYT for 3+years and it was great to get guidance at the ‘outside edges’ of what works and then what takes it over the edge into great abyss of nothingness!
AWESOME AWESOME VIDEO!! We all needed it. Thank you so much. You answered many of my questions regarding colour in this club night. It has been hard for me to determine if some colours are for my type or not. Thanks for all the helpful tips you all provided for us. I am a type 3 and I’ve noticed that when I wear black I look angry and a little scary. It makes my eyebrows bolder. Does that sound about right for a T3 in black? After watching this club night recording I even experimented by holding a black garment to my face and I felt dead! As soon as I removed it, I felt alive again and I could breathe.
^5 (High Five) Wonderful educational video. Really goes into the chroma of the 4 types in depth and clarifies the use of the styling guide. An absolute must see!
Thank you so much for making this one of the most helpful sessions I have watched. The color comparisons helped to clarify and sharpen the way I read color. Technically, the sound was well managed, making the program easy to follow. I felt like I was with you at the event. Well done.
Really full and rich program. Great to get a sense of the Nothings and Exceptions. Thanks, Wonderful Women!
Fantastic information thank you so much, you made it so clear to understand.
I’m pretty new to DYT and this was very helpful for me. I love that there is a name for clothes that don’t fit into any type. I was just calling those clothes “confused”. Nothing’s is good. I also loved seeing the ladies in the colors that were their type and then switching it up to see them in the colors that are not their type. The results were actually shocking! I’m a believer. 🙂 Kim T3S4
Thank you!!!! So very helpful!!
This answered soooooo many of the questions I have had. All the details pointed out and explanations along with the compare/contrast display was GREAT!
I can really see the difference in the “nothing” garments – they are unattractive and in some cases down right ugly.
Dear Carol, After watching several of your videos, I can affirm that you clearly are a divine instrument because you generously help women free themselves from the slavery of fashion, childhood conditioning, fears and taboos, and take the jump towards finding and loving their true selves. This is why your work is a huge contribution to humankind. Kudos and blessings to you.
Thank you! It is a privilege to support you!
I’ve had the ‘color me beautiful’ type of process done a long time ago and understood clearly what power color can have on my mood and I see myself or how others see me. But this program goes so much further and truly helped validate how I feel and perceive myself in the world. Sometimes, having someone just give you a little bit of permission to embrace yourself is all you need. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Really great video! Very informational about color. And Carol, you are so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is a wonderful club night – thank you! I learned so much and feel more empowered.
OMG! As a type 1, I never thought I could wear brown, because isn’t it a warm color, and I have cool skin tones, and won’t it make me look old and dull? But after studying DYT, I’ll definitely try brown!
Oh and thinking of it, my favorite pair of boots is chocolate brown, with a slightly rounded toe! I tried black handbags and shoes, and never wore them much because they felt so uncomfortable!
I loved the comparisons with the nothings, and also the colors. So helpful!
Ah – This was very helpful. I’ve been seeing the bright, bold oranges, pinks and corals on Carol thinking they were my Type 1 colors when my Type 1 colors are not quite as intense as the Type 3 colors. It’s as if my Type 1 colors have a little bit of milk added to the color …. which I would have described before as washing the color out a bit but now understand that the gray added to a hue does that. Bright vs. relaxing. Animated vs. calm. Excellent. I’m heading back to the thrift store right now …. right after I take my gray, charcoal and rich colored clothes to Good Will. Thanks so much for these videos! I love them.
What if you’re a type 3 but have (and LOVE) a platinum wedding ring and band? I do not want to color over platinum 🙁
Hi Nancy, some women opt to alter or change out their wedding set, but it is not necessary. It is one piece of jewelry- a very special piece- and keeping that as it always has been will not throw off your entire Type 3 look.
I have the same problem. I stopped wearing my very T4 white gold, solitaire engagement ring, but I refuse to stop wearing my white gold T4 channel set wedding band. I went with a trend in the early 2000’s because I didn’t know DYT. I’m hoping we can do a vow renewal in the next few years and he and I can BOTH pick out new wedding bands that reflect who we have become now that we understand who we are from DYT/ Energy profiling.
Great video. I’m 99% sure I am type 2, but I can’t quite seem to shake the fact that I look stunning in type 4 colours – I do not enjoy wearing them, but always get compliments when I do. Seeing colour as movement really helps me put that nagging thought aside. I’d love to see a type 2 denim featurette, or just denims in general. Its a very diverse and confusing world of denim.
this was AMAZING!!!! Thank you SO much! As a T3, I’ve learned to use a true leopard print as my “comparison place” both with colors, textures, substance and ‘edge’. If it can’t hold it’s own or support a true basic leopard print, chances are it’s gong to be “off” with everything else in my wardrobe…even though I own almost NO leopard print. But it’s a system that is working VERY well to help me stay focused and get clarity when I’m drawn to an item. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way my entire wardrobe is coordinating! It’s very comforting! I’m a strong secondary 2 can you tell? lol
ALSO, thank you for addressing the “nothings”. I was JUST telling my sister how annoying some of my favorite store can be because they will have a GREAT color option for me, but with prints, lines and fabrications that make it all go terribly wrong. Out of curiosity, are there any certain “more type three” stores you can refer me to that seem to do a good job keeping things clear? Don’t mind me…it’s the T3 in me wanting efficiency. 😉
This Club Night episode is SO valuable! It really helps to see the chromas of the different Types next to each other, and to see examples of “nothings” (LOL) and when it’s okay to make an exception. Now when I go shopping, I can immediately tell which Type (if any) a garment falls under. Also, Carol is hilarious! I laughed so many times during this episode. Thank you for making these videos! One thing I’m still struggling with is denim. Could you make a future Club Night about choosing the right denim (wash, stitching, fabrication, etc.) for each Type?
I second that motion!
When I find type 4 items with gold buttons, I just grab the sewing basket and switch them out.
This was awesome! I was wondering if type 1 could wear gray? I didn’t see gray on the card, but I love gray and I feel very comfortable in gray.
Does anyone know?
I believe gray is a Type 2 color. Type 1’s are hue + white added to make it a tint (think bright or sparkle).
Heathered grays are Type 1!
Best Club Night ever!!!! I can watch it over and over again and always learn something new!!! The greatest DYT learning tool.
This is really one of the best and most helpful videos! I thought I was quite good at “seeing” the different type’s colors, but seeing this video I realized that I need to have my style guide with me all the time or even better, get all four guides. Anyway, this is a very appreciated video, thank you!
tints tones shades and pure hues, it looks like the ‘new’ 16 seasons system.
This was one of my top vids that Ive watched! Thanks for all this info!
Love these explanations on all the types of colour choices!! Still learning how to put it all together! Could you let me know what colour Marci is wearing ? Can’t tell online.
Thanks a bunch!
Caroline, this is Kathy from Carol’s support team. I am not sure if I am understanding your question. The ladies are all wearing same colors but in their colors that women can ‘see’ the shade, hue’s tints, etc…. that is theirs. Thank you.
Hi DYT experts in the Nothing world. Quick question about this purse in the photo. It is mostly greys but there is black in this in the one or two of the panels as you can see. Is this consider an okay – an exception because it doesn’t take away from all the grey?
Thanks SO glad I have a Lifestyle membership. (Live in Canada so bought for the whole year) so I can keep watching these videos over and over as I learn more each time and this time learning it as a T2 who once thought I was a T1 and then a T3 but finally decided to do the T2 course and low and behold I am a T2. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/70acb16f5a86005b6f92b287c624c0b70fa3bf947426ba20c3b0fe4c72584313.jpg
Hi Vicki, this is Kathy from Carol’s support team. Vicki, please continue to watch all of the tutorials for the accessories and more and how to add in your secondary energy to personalize your own style. Carol does teach that black can be in items but cannot be a focal point of the item. She states that if your eye is drawn to the black, than black is the focal point and the item is a nothing. Thank you.
Brilliant, detailed, great flow, depth and so much help expanding our skills and eye for what is truth in colour for each of us beautiful woman. Thank you DYT for all the heart and soul you put into your content, love you all so much!
Thank YOU!
This was really helpful and clarifying. Thank you!
I have a question though. When you explain that not all blacks are created equal and say that some might not work because of the added texture and/in flowyness… shouldn’t I be able to add some texture to it if, let’s say, I have a secondary 3? Thanks!
Hi Susan, We teach you how to bring your secondary energy in the elements of texture, pattern, fabrication, and design lines in the content we produce in our Lifestyle membership that is only $12.95 a month. Sounds like you are ready to go the next level in your DYT experience and investing in Lifestyle is very supportive for many reasons to help you with that.
Thanks Carol for your response. I am already a Lifestyle member. I am going to look for more of those videos, though I would be happy if anyone could refer me to one or two.
Here’s a list to help you get started: https://my.liveyourtruth.com/dyt/?s=colormania
Thank you, Anne!
