Last week I received an email from a specialty publication asking for some expert opinion on color. This was an unusual request, but then again not really.
They were researching information for an article illustrating how the clothing a handler might wear would impact the way the dog appeared or potentially judged. These dogs and their owners spend years in training and grooming so they can be awarded the grand prize one day. Wouldn’t it be a shame if their handler were dressing in an outfit that didn’t blend well with the dog’s coloring?
Color is vitally important to the way we are all judged. I can only wonder upon reading the article if either the handlers or the owners will take heed.
What about you? When was the last time you took stock of your own coloring? Have you ever thought about it? I had a lot of fun taking a look at the dog’s coloring and variations of colors in their coats and breeds. Just like their human counterparts, they do have different coloring that needs to be highlighted. Far too often we focus on the latest trends in fashion without regard to what they might actually look like on us.
So as the summer moves into fall and the vibrant hues of summer wax into the autumnal tones of warm reds and browns, make sure you check your personal coloring to see if it is being shown in the best light! I assure you, if you will wear colors that make you feel and look your very best, you’ll be complimented and noticed more often. You may not win the trophy for the best dog but you will:
“Look Good, Feel Great and Have Fun Doing It!”
