The best clothing colors for your skin tone

The best clothing colors for your skin tone

You sometimes hear people talk about how blue is “their” color, or how they look awful in peach. What causes people to have flattering and clashing colors for their skin tone, and how do you determine which colors are best for you? We’ll tell you how in just a moment, but try to remember that these rules aren’t set in stone. If you love a color that isn’t the best for you, that doesn’t mean you have to stop wearing it! Consider using it as an accent color with a belt, scarf, shoes, or handbag instead of wearing it head-to-toe. So here are the best clothing colors for your skin tone!

If you have a FAIR skintone:

Bright blues, emeralds, and deep purples will look great, along with frosty shades of lavender, ice blue, or pink. With neutrals, you can rock cool gray, bright white, and navy. Try to avoid orange, tomato red, and strong yellows, which can clash with your skin completely.

If you have a MEDIUM skintone:

For you, the best colors are rich reflections of nature. You should turn to red, peach, coral, orange, amber, gold, and yellow. You also should look great when you wear “warmer” versions of cool colors, like olive, moss, orchid, and violet-red. Neutrals that are best for you include taupe, cappuccino, cream, and mushroom gray. Avoid chilly colors like icy blues or jewel tones like sapphire or amethyst because they can wash you out and make your skin look gray.

If you have a DARK and DEEP DARK skintone:

Certain colors of clothing better highlight your beautiful dark skin than others like Jewel tones, white, fuchsia, yellow, pastel yellox, orange, gold, royal blue and pink. Try to avoid neutrals like taupe, cappuccino, cream, and mushroom gray.
