Take a look at the examples in the gallery above to see how certain style icons pick their colours to suit their skin tone. Avoid brown – similar to how pastel shades can wash out lighter skin tones, brown won’t contrast nearly enough with dark skin and detract from your outfit. Avoid wearing shades of green or yellow – these colours may be too close to your skin tone.įor dark skin – The safest colour to match with a darker skin tone is white, but if you want to try other colours, light shades of purple, pink, peach, orange, yellow and green will look great. To add some contrast, you will look best in shades that are either a little brighter or darker than the middle ground. Avoid an abundance of pastel shades or soft colours as they will only wash you out.įor olive/medium skin – If you’ve got medium skin that tans rather than turns red in the sun, you have a ‘warm’ complexion, which suits a wider spectrum of colours compared to those with fair skin or ‘cool’ complexions. Darker colours such as brown, burgundy, grey and navy will work. This will bring some colour to your complexion.
