Kitty: Good morning, Ms Li. May I ask you some questions about colours in fashion?
Ms Li: Sure.
Kitty: Could you give us some advice?
Ms Li: Well, it depends on the colour of our skin. Some people look good in warm colours, like yellow, red and orange, but other people look nice in cool colours, such as green, blue and purple.
Kitty:
Ms Li: Try to pick similar colours. For example, wear dark blue jeans with a light blue blouse or T-shirt.
Kitty:
Ms Li: Yes. In fact, warm and cool colours make each other stand out, such as yellow and green or orange and blue. But don't wear more than three colours at one time.
Kitty:
Ms Li: Black, white and grey go well with any colour. They're suitable for both formal suits and casual clothes.
