Is the first impression important?
Statistics show that it takes less than 1/10th of a second to form an assessment of someone’s looks.
29% of people first see the colors of someone’s attire when meeting. Hence, what we wear is important for the first impression we make!

1. Define your skin undertone
Skin tone
1️⃣ Flip over your wrist and look at your veins. Are they green or blue? If they appear blue – your skin tone is cool, If they appear green – you are a warm one.
2️⃣ Silver or gold jewelry? If your skin shines under silver – you are a cool skin tone. If gold looks good on you – then you are warm.
3️⃣ Cool tones burn easy, warm ones simply get darker.
Hair
1️⃣ Warm if you usually neither have very dark nor very light hair with medium intensity;
2️⃣ Cool if you have ash blond through to brown, chestnut brown with no reddish highlights, silver ash blond, grey/silver mix, dark brown, brown-black, or black hair.
Eyes
1️⃣ Warm if they are light to medium brown, olive green, dark hazel, light hazel, warm blue, often with a yellowish rim around the pupil, medium to dark brown with obvious warm undertones.
2️⃣Cool are: blue-grey, hazel, softened blue, violet, soft dark brown, charcoal grey, black.
Color season

2. Know your color palette
Depending on your seasonal type these are the colors that bring your natural beauty out! Seasonal color analysis matches aspects of your appearance with colors that will reduce visual imperfections and will bring out a refreshed complexion and a natural glow.

❗ All in all, you might want to create a set of outfits within a particular color palette. Here’s how:

Why La Koketa App?
I’ve avoided the color analysis theme for 2 reasons:
1️⃣ It seemed a lot confusing to me and a lot of fuss, still, in the end, no clear solution came out.
2️⃣ Plus, I am not a fan of sticking “types” or etiquettes to people, especially when fashion is involved!
I’d rather give you the backbone of a carefully curated wardrobe and style than tell you what to wear!
We’ve created La Koketa app with the idea of exploring and defining your own style, identity, and outfits with what you already have in your closets! And with the vision of developing and upgrading your fashion stylish self!
❗ Finally, what do all those words and graphics mean to you? You still struggle every morning wondering how to style your favorite high-waisted mom’s jeans? You still don’t know if you actually need that color palette?!
Here are the main takeaways:
✅ Denim, purple, and teal go on everybody! Combine them with neutrals and that effortless chic would be captured in seconds!
✅ Use your color palette as a reference to optimize your hair and makeup – they are all yours to play with😉.
✅ Keep colors that don’t suit you away from your face. That way they do not have an impact on your complexion. Reserve them for shoes, bags, belts, even trousers! And keep them in small doses! Like this, you can still wear them, regardless of the fact that they do not belong to your color palette!
Tell us, girls, was it easy to determine your color season? Do you use your personal color palette in your closets and do you build your outfits on color-coordinated themes?!
