Let’s talk about our hair color in contrast with the clothing colors we choose. Red hair positively pops against blue hues, emerald green and ivory. Blond locks gleam against black, navy, turquoise and red, but tend to disappear against yellow hues. Warm brunettes glow when paired with warm undertones like orange-y reds, teal, olive green and eggplant, while cooler tones may have a fading effect. Think cobalt blue, royal purple and emerald green. Of course, your natural shades don't bar you from wearing the colors you love, but it's a good thing to keep in mind to ensure you truly shine with every look.

Are you ever searching to find the right colors that work for you? Here’s a simple rule to follow: Cooler skin tones radiate when paired with white, black, gray, silver and blue. What is a cooler skin tone, you ask? A cooler skin tone is one that has pink, red or blemish undertones whereas a warm skin tone consists of yellow, peachy or gold undertones. Freckles?... think warm colored clothing like browns, greens and reds to make you truly glow. You’ll notice that when you wear the right shades of clothing, your hair and eyes are complimented as well. You’ll feel great and look even better! |
