How (Not) To Wear Black Best for Your Type

And why not all black is Type 4 black.

You’ve thrown out all of your black (if you’re not a Type 4), now what?

Somewhere along the line, it became a commonly accepted truth the black was an easy neutral color that matched everything and was slimming for every body shape. That is a myth. It is true that Type 4 women wear black with stunning effects. (16:06) But, for Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 women it can overshadow their natural quality of beauty. What are the other options open for each Type when replacing black?

In this excerpt from a past live event (see the full event here) my experts and I share one of our favorite options for each Type, (17:34) show you how not all black is a true Type 4 black, (8:17) and give you our best tips (beyond your Style Guide) for identifying your Type’s color group.
