Finding Clothing Colors to Suit You

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

The colors you wear can make a stunning effect on a person’s overall look. Take a look at yourself in the mirror with a white background and in natural daylight. Your eyes — what color are they? What about your hair? How light is your skin: are you fair, tan or dark-skinned? Do you have blue or orangey undertones in your skin – make a note of all the colors that you observe.Matching the color of your hair and eyes is a simple method. For instance, you can pair your green eyes with a Kelly green shirt and consider doing the same with your accessories. Put together different shades of a color to make a matching outfit. The main thing is to aim to put colors near your face that bring out the best out in your hair and eyes tones.

Is your skin coloring cool or warm? You can tell by the way you tan. Warm colored skins turn brown when they get a lot of sun – if that’s you you’re a warm. Basically skin that has more of a bluish or pinkish tinge to it is known as a cool. The skin is dark brown, olive, pale or ruddy. Warm-toned people have skin with a golden tinge, also ranging from very dark to pale. Cool toned people look best in pure white and jewel colors that are bluish such as green, purple and blue. Warm-toned people are suited to ivory and earth tones that are orange-hued. Examples of these are brown, orange and yellow.

Discover your ‘season’.

Learn what season you are considered to be. If you have pale blond hair or red hair, light colored eyes and skin that is fair and delicate, you are a spring. Select soft colors that remind you of spring (like green, pale blue, golden yellow) and stay away from boring colors like black and white or gray. If you have naturally blond or brown hair with light skin and eyes, you are a summer. You should go for black, white, pastels and blue tones. Basically your skin has more of a bluish or pinkish tinge to it. Autumns have earth-toned skin, such as golden-brown or bronze and usually have red or brown hair with brown eyes. The best colors for autumn or fall consist of oranges, golds, beiges and gray. Stay away from black and white, pastels and blues. People who have dark hair and eyes are classified as winters. Great colors for you are navy blue, cool blue, gray, emerald green, icy pink and white. Don’t get muted or earthy colors.

These are the secrets to a great look simply by selecting the right colors. Accentuating your best aspects can be fun.
