Women, go for demure pastels rather than Black, which everyone of us thinks that it makes us looks thin.Pastels like Yellow, Blue, and Pink should be TOP CHOICE as men prefer women to be feminine.

Man, BLACK is ideal as it creates the "bad boy" image that women find attractive. Pink or Lavender makes man look appealing and Sexy~~Woohoo!!

For extrovert, they would choose something more Daring~~

A women should never TRY to look like a Man~. She should wear skirts to look Attractive and Noticeable. Women in the corporate world should AVOID wearing black everyday. It is undeniable that Black lent Authority and Confidence, however, too much black would make others Gloomy~~There's an execption for lawyers only as blackgives the profession an air of authority and masks their feelings.

Petite women should wear Brighter colours to make them stand out. BUT~~ not too much Red as it can make others feel uncomfortable as it raises anger.

Larger women should NOT wear all Black. It is a myth that black makes a person look thinner. If you want to wear black, try add in some colour. Use a bright scarf or accessories to draw attention away from the problems areas in your figure!
