Description
Knowing what colours suit you best can help you feel more confident and put together. When you wear colours that complement your skin tone, you'll look healthier and more radiant. On the other hand, wearing colours that clash with your skin tone can make you look washed out or even sickly.
How to
The first step in figuring out what colours suit you best is to determine your skin's undertone. Your undertone is the colour that lies beneath the surface of your skin. There are three main undertones: cool, warm, and neutral.
If you have a cool undertone, your skin will have a pink, red, or bluish tint to it. If you have a warm undertone, your skin will have a yellow, peach, or golden tint to it. If you have a neutral undertone, your skin will have a mix of cool and warm tones.
Step by step
Here's how to determine your skin's undertone:
- Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If they appear blue, you have a cool undertone. If they appear green, you have a warm undertone. If you can't tell, you have a neutral undertone.
- Hold up a piece of white paper to your face. If your skin looks pink or rosy next to the white paper, you have a cool undertone. If your skin looks yellow or beige next to the white paper, you have a warm undertone. If your skin looks gray or ashen next to the white paper, you have a neutral undertone.
- Try on jewellery. If gold jewellery looks better on you, you have a warm undertone. If silver jewellery looks better on you, you have a cool undertone. If both gold and silver jewellery look good on you, you have a neutral undertone.
Tips
Once you've determined your undertone, you can start playing around with different colours to see what works best for you. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- If you have a cool undertone, try wearing jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, and ruby red.
- If you have a warm undertone, try wearing earth tones like olive green, camel brown, and mustard yellow.
- If you have a neutral undertone, you can wear a wide range of colours. Lucky you!
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different shades of the same colour. For example, if you have a warm undertone, you might look great in a pale yellow shirt or a bright lemon yellow sweater.
FAQ

Hair Care
Finally, don't forget to consider your hair colour when choosing clothing colours. Certain colours can clash with your hair, while others can complement it. For example, if you have red hair, you might look great in green or blue clothing. If you have blonde hair, you might look great in pastel colours.
