Are you overwhelmed by the number of colors available to you? Would you like to know how to pick clothing color combinations that look good on you? We’ve got your back. We will help you find that perfect hue, no matter if it’s a statement color or just an accessory.

So, what clothing color combinations are best for you? Clearly, what makes sense for someone else may not necessarily make sense for you. When choosing a color, you should consider your own personal style.

What does this mean? Everyone has a different skin tone and eye color. Every person is unique in their own way, so what might look good on one person might not look the same on another.

However, clothing color combinations aren’t just about what looks good. It can also reveal who you are as a person; whether it’s playful, wild, or professional. Let’s take a look at what colors best represent these personality traits

Skin Tone and Clothing Colors: A Perfect Match Guide

Your skin tone can greatly influence the colors you wear. It is possible for someone with cool skin to pull off wearing bright colors, while someone with darker skin looks best in soft colors that complement their complexion.

The truth is, you can wear anything you want. You can choose any style, color, and size. The choice is solely yours.

Understanding Warm vs. Cool Colors

One way to determine if you have cool-toned skin is to check your veins. Do they look bluish, tealish, or lavender in color? Those colors signal that you have a cool undertone. If your veins were more green-based and brownish in color, then chances are you do not have a cool undertone but rather a warm undertone.

Different skin tones.

All of us have colors, styles, and fits that are more or less flattering for our unique features. Here are some colors you can experiment with. Cool skin tends to complement these colors. colors such as reds, pinks, turquoise, greens, and blues.

Color Psychology: What Your Clothes Say About You

You can tell if your tone is warm-toned by looking at the veins just below your skin. If they are green, your skin is likely a warm tone.

You’ll want to wear colors that match that undertone. For example try browns, corals, and chocolates in clothing or makeup colors. Gold also works well when used as an accent color because it complements the warm tone best.

Choosing the right colors for your features is key. You want a color that’s pleasing to the eye. A color that complements your skin tone is more about what color looks good on you than what color you can wear.

Hair and Eye Color for Wardrobe Choices: Harmonizing Your Look

Here’s what we mean when we say that certain colors look good on you. Some people have brown hair and brown eyes, whereas others may have blue or green eyes with blonde hair; what works for one person might not work for another. Some colors naturally complement the hair and eye colors over others, even if it is down to personal preference.

Generally, warm neutral color with olive undertones will serve as the best compliment to any eye color.

Some colors that are flattering for blue eyes include turquoise; various shades of purple; dark brown; gray and black. For green eyes, try icy pastels like light pink or sage green.

If you have hazel eyes, pretty much any shade will work from yellow-greens (though they might be too bright) to copper browns to coppers with golden highlights. For dark brown hair use taupes and cool grays – if you’re fair-skinned stick with darker muted colors like forest greens instead of true cyans but keep in mind that both work for brown eyes.

If you have blue or green eyes, avoid orange and yellow-based nudes; instead try bronze or copper tones with sparkles, glitter, and shimmer. For hazel and brown eyes, warm peaches that come off ever so slightly pink are a good choice as well.

For anyone who wants to play it safe (or doesn’t spend an entire paycheck at Sephora), a simple black liquid liner on the top lash line – either tightening of the upper lid or regular lining – works for everyone. Additionally, you can make your own neutral shadow palette by mixing shades of gray and taupe together (if you want more depth) with just a touch of dark brown for definition.

Another example of choosing a color that complements your eyes is what celebrities do when trying to stand out with their makeup. Amber Rose, for instance, tends to wear bold blues or greens with her blonde hair and light eyes in order to emphasize them.

Understand Cool and Warm Clothing Color Combinations

We’ve discussed what colors look good on you based on what hair/eye color you have, but what about what kind of personality that gives off? Rather than telling you what color you should choose for your personality type, knowing what types of colors each can be may give you some insight into what suits you.

What makes a color warm or cool? Warm colors generally belong to the red-orange family and are considered to be bolder than their cooler cousins. Warm colors are vibrant and draw attention, making them ideal for a bold look, such as wearing bright pink with blonde hair!

Typically cool colors are blues and purples (even a tinted gray), but what makes them so great is that they can blend in with what you already have while still standing out, which makes cool colors ideal for those who prefer a more subtle look.

Bold, warm colors can signal a person who is daring and is not afraid to stand out in order to be noticed; muted tones can mean someone who is more and less concerned with what others think than what is really exciting to see. From a casual perspective, you can also take into account what your friends say!

If most people tend to agree that you look best in what type of color, then what you think shouldn’t matter as much!

Try wearing what you already know – but in different shades – if you’re still unsure of what colors go well with what outfit. For instance, what color looks best with what you have in your closet?

Wear what you already own if you like bright colors – just try a darker color first, then a brighter one! So, you’ll be able to see what works well together; even if they look great on their own, maybe what makes them pop the most (or not) is when worn together!

The secret is not necessarily determining what colors look good on you – but rather knowing what colors go well together! Remember to wear whatever color you think looks best, as long as it’s what you think looks best!

Pick A Color That Makes You Feel Good

Color may not be determined by what your friends think or by what colors you can naturally pull off. It depends on what makes up the most of who you are – what represents you! It’s more important to determine which color suits your taste and other characteristics than what’s “best” for each type of person.

Why hold back when everyone else says you should wear a bright blue or a deep green because that really shows off who you are as a person? It doesn’t mean that what others say isn’t true at all; we’re just saying that it shouldn’t always be the deciding factor for everything, what you like should matter most!

Don’t hesitate to try what your friends have to say if what they have to say makes sense for you! Who knows, maybe what they were complimenting was what you already liked in the first place.

And if what’s best for you isn’t what others think looks good on you, then you just need to be confident that what suits you is still wonderful no matter what anyone else may think!

Keep in mind that the point of this whole color selection process isn’t to choose colors based on their quality – but rather to find something that complements who you are. There is a color for you out there. You just need a little bit of time and patience to find it.
