Boutique Staff are Required to be Knowledgeable About These Things Already
To be able to work at a boutique, the staff has to have knowledge and passion for fashion. For example, a boutique such as April Blooms would avoid hiring an employee that knew nothing about what they sell.
If you have questions about color, they should be able to answer them.
They Should Ask About Your Likes and Dislikes
No one wants to be stuck with a color they don’t like.
But if you want to add more color to your wardrobe, a good boutique staff member should ask what colors you like and dislike. By doing this, the colors you hate are automatically eliminated.
Next, by knowing the colors you do like, the staff member would be able to figure out how to incorporate them by finding out more information, such as:
- The styles you prefer, such as fabrics, cuts, etc.
- Your measurements
- What type of clothes would look best for your body type
- What kind of clothes you feel most comfortable in
Skin Tones and Seasons
Have you ever heard someone say something like, “I’m not a summer. I’m a winter.” Did you think they were describing what season they liked best? Well, they could have been. But more often than not, they were probably describing what colors match best with their skin tones.
Your eye color and hair color also come into play. Seasonal color analysis can be broken down into three parts:
- Hue: Your hue is usually considered either cool or warm. Some seasons are considered “neutral.” But they still typically favor one over the other by a slight difference.
- Value: Your value is either light or dark.
- Chroma: Your chroma will fall on a spectrum from muted/soft to bright/clear.
These factors are determined by your skin tone, eye color, and hair color and will help you figure out which colors will work best for you by season (Summer, Spring, Fall, and Winter).
If all this sounds overwhelming, a seasoned boutique staff member should be able to help you.
As you can see, there is more to color than just picking out your favorites. You have to weigh in your hair color, eye color, and skin tone. Then what types of outfits you prefer are thrown into the mix. It can get a little confusing. But a good boutique expert will be more than willing and able to aid you.
