You could work into an establishment and instantly get employed or you could clinch millions of dollar worth of business deals by simply dressing for the part. The colours you wear will create a visual impression to an onlooker, that if you left house without checking with your mirror first. Colours on the wearer can either make her look pale or healthy; they can also make her look people friendly or chase people away from her.
According to Jennifer Edwards, a graduate of political science who doubles as a model, beauty and image consultant, people will response to you based on the colour you wear, you need to understand the colours that work well on you so you can coordinate them. Colour plays a major role in our dressing as far as business world is concerned; there are colours that must not be worn to work.
If you go out and you receive a lot of compliments from people on what you are wearing, then you should know the colour is your colour and you should work around it. You need to know what style goes with your body structure.
Edwards who is organising a seminar ‘dress for success’ aims to teach people how to achieve a successful image through dressing. She intends to also teach about colour palette, “if a dark complexioned person is wearing black colour, the black will only serve to enlarge the complexion and this will make the wearer very unappealing to onlookers” says Emeka Ebeniro, a brand consultant. People may be very rude to the person and the person may not know that it is a result of the dressing.
The seminar is particularly targeted at people going for job interviews, business men or people in the marketing profession. Edwards believes it is not so much what you wear as how you wear it. She observes that Nigerians always want to wear whatever is in vogue instead of dressing according to the body type.
