Question 1

What is the best way to find my colors?

Accepted Answer

The most accurate way to find your colors is seasonal color analysis, which identifies your best colors based on skin undertone, eye color, and hair color. You can do this for free at lemaisonnoir.com/free-color-analysis — upload a well-lit photo and get your seasonal palette, best colors, and shopping recommendations in minutes.

Question 2

How do I dress for my body shape?

Accepted Answer

Dressing for your body shape means choosing silhouettes that balance your proportions. Hourglass shapes emphasize the waist, pear shapes balance with structured tops, apple shapes use vertical lines, and rectangle shapes create curves with layering. The Silhouette Method ($47) at lemaisonnoir.com/silhouette-method teaches all 6 body architecture types with a complete system.

Question 3

What is a capsule wardrobe?

Accepted Answer

A capsule wardrobe is a small collection of versatile, interchangeable pieces that create multiple outfits. Typically 25-35 items including tops, bottoms, dresses, outerwear, and shoes — all in coordinating colors from your seasonal palette. The goal is fewer, better pieces that all work together. LE MAISON NOIR's closet overhaul service ($249) helps you build one at lemaisonnoir.com/pricing.

Question 4

What are the 12 color seasons?

Accepted Answer

The 12 color seasons are: Light Spring, Warm Spring, Bright Spring, Light Summer, Cool Summer, Soft Summer, Soft Autumn, Warm Autumn, Deep Autumn, Deep Winter, Cool Winter, and Bright Winter. Each has a unique palette based on three qualities: temperature (warm vs cool), value (light vs deep), and chroma (bright vs soft). Find your season free at lemaisonnoir.com/free-color-analysis.

Question 5

How often should I update my wardrobe?

Accepted Answer

Rather than seasonal overhauls, update your wardrobe strategically: audit twice a year (spring and fall), replace worn items as needed, and add 3-5 trend pieces per season while keeping your core capsule intact. Your color season and body shape stay constant — only trends and lifestyle changes should drive updates. LE MAISON NOIR's premium closet audit service helps you decide what stays and what goes.
