May 7, 2010, Newsletter Issue #110: Using Colour to Create Focal Points
Tip of the Week
What is a focal point? It's the most obvious point on your body that your clothing and accessories draws your attention to. To figure out where your focal point is, stand in front of a full length mirror, close your eyes, then open them and see where your gaze is drawn to.
You can use focal points to distract people from looking at parts of your body you'd rather others didn't notice. You can do it easily with colour - we often do this unknowingly - we wear a pair of black pants and a coloured top, which draws attention to our top half.
You can also do it with coloured scarves and jewellery, coloured shoes or any other sort of design detail.
To draw attention to your face wear darker neutral colours on your body, then choose a scarf or coloured jewellery to draw attention up.
To distract from your stomach, keep your top and bottom in the same neutral colour, then wear coloured shoe and a scarf or necklace which picks up the colour in the shoe to draw attention to your face.
Just make sure you put your focal points where you want others to look.
