It shouldn't be a rule that you can wear whatever color you like, but it's always best to know which color bikini or swimwear is best to wear based on your skin tone. Here's a quick guide to help you determine your skin tone and choose the best color bikini, swimsuit, or beachwear to bring out your natural beauty.
Every woman wants to look her best and feel confident in what she wears. This is especially true for swimwear. While we all love to wear our favorite colors, did you know that not every color complements your skin tone? While you can wear any color, some will make your hair and skin look duller than others.
The trick to finding the perfect bikini or swimwear colors that will make you stand out is to choose colors that complement your skin tone.
The best choices for warm skin tones are vibrant earth tones and neutrals. Dark browns, bronzes and oranges, olive greens, warm crimson reds, mustard yellows, amber and golds, mocha, and taupe will bring out your warm tones.
If your skin tone is white, go for darker shades and avoid lighter shades and pastels since they will blend in with your skin. If your skin tone is on the darker side, peach and creamy coral colors also complement warmer tones.
Remember, the most important thing is to create a contrast between your skin tone and the color of your swimsuit to make your skin glow, so avoid cool tones.
When choosing a bikini, for cool colors in the blue-green family. Deep jewel tones, jewel and navy blues, indigo and plum deep violet, plus raspberry pink and ruby reds, intensify the cool tones. Rich emeralds are particularly stunning on you, avoiding warm tones.
If you have very fair skin with cool undertones, avoid softer shades such as lavender, cornflower blue, and lilac pink since they don't contrast well enough with your tone. On the contrary, if you have a darker skin tone, these pastel shades and colors, such as cold mint or ice sea blue, will look stunning and complement your skin tone.
Most colors will enhance a neutral skin tone, it is a combination of both warm and cool tones, you have the widest choice of flattering color options as you can choose from both sides of the color wheel.
For one suggestion, with this undertone, avoid opting for anything too bright or overly warm or cool as it will overwhelm rather than enhance that natural beauty.
Remember you are the balance tone between warm and cool skin tones. So you will look best in a hue with a more neutral base.
Whichever swimwear color you decide is right for you, most important is that you feel comfortable and confident wearing it on your holiday. After all, swimwear is designed to show the best of you.
