Have you ever wondered why your favorite color does not go hand and hand with the color that looks best on you? Well, I have. It is so frustrating when you find an item of clothing that catches your eye because of the beautiful color, only to find out it doesn’t flatter your tones at all. Tragic.
Growing up in the South, I feel like we’ve all heard that blue is always a “safe” color to wear. Why is that though? What makes blue different from every other color? It is said that no matter what type of skin color you have, blue makes people’s skin tone look brighter than it naturally is and more radiant.
Color matching can also go with the color or your hair. It is said warm colors look best with blondes but I disagree with that statement. I feel like some warm colors could make some blonde hair look yellow or not toned. I do think warm colors look good on everyone in their summer, especially with a nice tan. I believe a soft brown really goes with blondes because it is a perfect contrast.
What color is best for brunettes? White, when you wear white it gives the dark hair a moment to be “the center of attention”. A color that also pairs well with brunettes but probably doesn’t come to mind is, Olive. A deep green with a hint of brown seems to compliment tanner skin tones also so this color seems more popular in the summer or spring.
A color I personally don’t like for multiple reasons, one being it is the main color for the Clemson Tigers is orange. It’s said that orange is “attention- grabbing” so introverts should probably avoid this color as well. If you don’t have a warm skin tone, orange often looks way too bold on people.
To be safe, I think black always looks good on people and it doesn’t matter what season you wear it in either.
