Selecting a wardrobe to suit your skin tone
January 20, 2009
Wearing the right colours can add to your beauty and wearing the wrong ones can drastically affect your good looks. Therefore, it is important to select the right kind of wardrobe to suit your skin tone and enhance your overall features.
The colour that suits you the best will not only be determined by your skin tone. Your natural hair colour and eye colour also are determining factors for your wardrobe. The first step for you while selecting what colours suit you, is to determine your skin tone.
To know this, simply observe your skin in natural daylight. If you are a cool toned person, you will have a pink or rosy skin tone. Blue-based colours will look great on you. If however, you are warm toned, you will have a more golden or apricot undertone. You can wear yellow-based colours with glory.
Here are some examples of wardrobe colours that you can choose from.
The Clear wardrobe for a bright and contrasting skin tone
The colours that suit you are clear spring and clear winter. Vibrant colours will complement your bright look. You can do better without grey shades alone, instead contrast dark ones with light colours and add some bright colours in to liven up the neutrals.
Prefer pure or soft whites to creamy shades. Neutrals can range from jet black and navy to charcoal and black-brown, as long as they are rich and inky.
Hot pink will work great, although you can also add mango, coral and clear salmon shades. Keep your colours rich and bright. Red should be scarlet, blue should be like sapphire, green like emerald and yellow like topaz.
The Cool wardrobe for a rosy/grey skin tone
Your best colours are cool summer and cool winter. You should do better to keep away from yellow, green and brown undertones. Although, pinky browns are good, but stay away from beige, khaki or golden brown.
Cocoa or rose brown are the only browns for you. Although blues will work, do not go for too strong shades of blue. Greys are the best for you. You can go for the lightest violets like lilacs or even the richest periwinkle.
Blue-based reds work great. You can even go for red instead of black for the evening.
The Deep wardrobe for the strong and rich skin tone
Your season colours are deep autumn and deep winter. Choose bold contrasts or striking solid blocks of colour to complement your rich looks.
Go for rich, true colours. You should keep clean crisp white, primary red, blue, green and yellow in your wardrobe. Mahogany, pine, mango, teal, turquoise and purple will also look great.
You will look best in black as well as inky navy, charcoal, deepest brown and pewter. You can add warmth by using colours like terracotta, rust, olive, bronze and other golden deep tones, but only if they flatter you.
A last word would be that no colour is good or bad. You should make a choice depending how well the colour suits your skin tone and that colour is the one for you.
