Fair/pale skin
If you’ve got pale skin, choose colours that contrast with your skin tone.
Colours to wear
Dark colours, such as black, navy blue, bottle green, brown and bolder shades
Colours to ignore
Soft pastel shades or brighter shades. Avoid wearing white, yellow, red, light beige and brighter shades.
Olive/mid-tone skin
Choose outfits with a wider spectrum of colours.
Colours to wear
Light colours, such as white, peach, sky blue and grey. Mix light neutrals.
Colours to ignore
Since your skin will have yellow or green undertones, avoid wearing shades of these colours.
Darker skin
Much like those with mid-tone skin, people with darker skin can carry any colour easily.
Colours to wear
Bright colours, such as white, cobalt blue, red, etc are great but be mindful of adding balance to your outfit.
