Color is everything. Some colors make your outfit look more expensive, some make you luckier in love. Some even make you look like a better candidate in a job interview. Wearing certain colors can be flattering or unflattering, and even solicit negative or positive emotions in others. It shouldn't be overlooked when putting your outfit together in the morning!

 

The truth is that our assumptions about color are not always right--black isn't the color that makes you hottest, nor is it the most slimming. And if you assumed that white was the color that makes you look tan--hold your horses. There's another hue that actually does the trick better.


What is it?? >>
