answer
There are many answers: Spring, which is suitable for bright, gorgeous colors that are reminiscent of a field of flowers. The pupils and hair are soft brown, and the skin is generally healthy and fair.
Ideal for vitamin colors reminiscent of fruit, or brighter colors such as tulip powder. In particular, if you use this color around the face, it will make the skin more elastic and the complexion will be better.
There are many answers to choose B: summer type, suitable for the kind of flowers that bloom in early summer, with a light color. It has an elegant temperament, and its pupils and hair color will also have a reddish-brown feeling, and its complexion is more ruddy. Note that yellow tends to make you look unrefreshed, and blue and white are the best choices to make you look clear and fresh.
The answer is more C: autumn type, which is suitable for darker colors that look warmer. It is easy to get tanned, and the skin is also prone to dull yellow, so it is not suitable for too bright colors. It would be more appropriate to choose a dark color that looks more mature and stable. Warm tones or earthy tones can give autumnal sisters a small look, and they can also create a warm and bright image.
The answer is more than D: winter type, suitable for bright primary colors or single colors with high purity. By using a warm red or a bright color like fuchsia, you can effectively enhance the contour of the face, and can also make the eyes more attractive, making you feel more aura overall.
Do you know what color you should wear now?
"Is it necessary to wear for the workplace?"
This is the personal clothing color matching that was very popular overseas last year, and the recent "personal body type analysis" is also very popular, but this needs to be analyzed by professionals, and the personal clothing color matching test is what we can obtain through a simple test, so that it is easier to match every day at work.
Seeing this, some people will say, "Is it necessary to work so hard to go to work?" Because your outfit is actually a kind of self-expression, representing your character and mood. What you like to wear is what kind of person you are.
If a person who likes to wear bright colors suddenly changes to black or monotonous clothes one day, and does so for a long time, it is likely that he is in a more pessimistic and negative mood during this period.
In the same way, if girls suddenly start to pay attention to their appearance and choose their own outfits for a certain period of time, it is likely that they fall in love, and in order to show their attractive side in front of boys, they will spend a lot of time on dressing and grooming.
Moreover, if a person wears a kind of clothing for a long time, he will make his attitude closer to the meaning of the clothes, that is, you can gradually become another person.
Abroad, some scholars have found that when employees wear more beautiful, more requirement-appropriate or more unique clothing, they show stronger self-esteem, so that they can make greater progress in achieving their work goals, and to a lesser extent, they deliberately avoid interaction with colleagues.
For example, if a person who is originally more strict wears casual clothes every day, then in the long run, his personality will also change towards the characteristic of casualness, and thus his perception of himself will also change. If a more casual person wears formal clothes every day, then his attitude will also change, and his way of dealing with people and things may gradually become more serious, not as casual as before.
All because people have a need to maintain mental balance and cognitive coordination.
In the workplace, the clothes you wear can also affect the mood of others.
Here, the most obvious are the clothing of those special professions. For example, doctors. When the doctor wears a white coat, the sense of professionalism immediately comes up, and it will be more reassuring for the patient. This is true for the clothing of firefighters, police officers, lawyers, judges, etc.
In ordinary working life, there will also be such an impact. If your boss is a man who likes to wear a suit, do you think that he seems to be experienced and mature? Of course, when your colleagues around you are wearing suits, and you feel that you are not professional, but depressed, you should pay attention, you may not be suitable for working here, and more suitable for going to some companies with a relaxed atmosphere and young people. When you slowly turn away from your job, the day you leave is not far off.
Dressing determines the first impression
In the book "Social Psychology", it is mentioned that the first impression has a dominant position in the process of impression formation, and has a directional role in explaining the subsequent behavior of the other party, and a good first impression is often the beginning of success.
If a person's first impression is good, then this will affect people's attribution of their subsequent behavior. For example, if a person makes a good first impression on others, then if that person makes a mistake or makes a fool of himself in the future, others will think that he is a mistake or unlucky, but not that it is his true characteristic.
On the other hand, if a person makes a bad first impression, then when he makes a mistake or makes a fool of himself, others will attribute this bad behavior to his true characteristics.
Therefore, first impressions are very important, and those who value first impressions tend to put a lot of effort into dressing up in the hope of making a good impression on others, which is conducive to building good relationships. This is the same as the above description of clothing affecting the mood of others.
If you just joined a company today and have a problem that you can't have, you will ask:
next to you with messy hair like a bird's nest, wearing flip-flops, shorts, yawning;
Wearing a suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his hands quickly back and forth on the keyboard, his face expressionless;
Wearing a spiritual ponytail, wearing white T+ bib pants, drinking milk tea, and looking at the computer screen.
It's all based on the first impression of the garment. Some people will say that they can wear whatever they like, so why should they care. This reminds me of a hot topic on the Internet before, "Ugly outfits for work". In this hot spot, most netizens think that I don't need to dress so delicately to work, and the ugliness of work has nothing to do with me after work, it's just a job.
Xiaobian believes that it is not necessary to dress exquisitely, but to dress comfortably, generously and decently, casually ≠ casually. It doesn't mean that you have to wear a professional suit to work, white T jeans and sportswear are fine, but you have to dress neatly and neatly. Isn't it more eye-catching to wear deliberately ugly clothes? It's like talking while not caring about other people's eyes, and then deliberately wearing ugly clothes to attract everyone's attention.
In the workplace, it's important to make a good first impression, and the same is true for HR people. You know, what you represent is the image of the company. If you dress comfortably, kindly and kindly during the recruitment process, it is easier for candidates to lower their guard and feel that the people in this company look very kind. On the other hand, if you are wearing a black suit and have a serious face, even if you talk about problems in daily life, it will make the applicant nervous. Whether it's a candidate or an interviewer, different attire assessments can have different impacts on hiring decisions.
Dress with "egoism".
Mark Twain once said, "Clothes make a man"
The gorgeous transformation of intern Andy in the movie "The Queen Wears Prada" is a good proof of this sentence. It is important to note that the film is not meant to highlight the symbolism of the brand's clothing, nor does it refer to the stereotype of a professional suit. Rather, I want to express that Andy changed careers from a journalist to the fashion industry, in order to fit in, she continued to work hard to master the most important thing in fashion, she began to learn to match, trying to fit the style of a fashion editor, she proved her competence, proved that she can do the job, has the ability to match the career.

Competency is the core competency that professionals need to pay attention to. According to the recent results of Professor Todorov's research group, published in the authoritative journal Nature Human Behavior in 2019, it only takes 130 milliseconds for people to evaluate your competency. It's frustrating that competency ratings can really be affected by what they wear.
The professor conducted an experiment based on two different groups of clothing, and found that people's prejudice against clothing comes from the subconscious, and it will manifest itself in an instant. It can be seen that a person's clothing can influence the evaluation and attitude of others.
Clothing is used to help us obtain information about others, which is why this kind of clothing testing and clothing matching consultation has become more and more popular recently. Here, some people may also say that it is not too biased and unfair to judge a person's character and ability by a person's clothing. Here, I can't deny it, because it is, and this is the anchoring effect, that is, a psychological bias of how the mind produces bias through first impressions. This effect can guide negotiations, predict sentiment, bargain and more.
Knowing this, you still have to wear it casually, does it also show that you are weakly flexible? You don't even pay attention to your own clothes, how can the leader and the company give you the work?
Finally, I want to clarify that I am not trying to PUA everyone, but I just want everyone to understand that in professional life, dressing is really important, but it doesn't need to be too prominent. Dressing in the workplace is a plus, not a must-have. Dress nicely and you'll be in a better mood. Remember, we don't dress well for others, it's for our own mood.
