Style & Styling Tips

You’ve worn some outfits that made people say “wow.”
And others? They looked nice — but something felt... off.

Here’s the truth: it’s usually not the design.
It’s the color.

The right shade can lift your skin tone, make your features glow, and bring your entire outfit to life.
The wrong one? It can dull even the most expensive piece.

So how do you know what suits you?

👀 Start with Your Skin Tone — Not the Shade Name

Skin tone isn’t about how light or dark you are — it’s about the undertone.
There are 3 main types:

1. Warm undertones — golden, olive, peachy

2. Cool undertones — pink, red, bluish

3. Neutral undertones — a mix of both, balanced and versatile

Quick check?
Look at your veins in natural light:

• Greenish veins = Warm

• Bluish/purple veins = Cool

• Hard to tell = Neutral

Now Match Your Undertone with These Colors

✅ Warm undertones look great in:

• Earthy tones like mustard, rust, brick, and olive

• Warm pastels like peach, coral, and cream

• Deep tones like maroon, turmeric yellow, and camel brown

• Gold-based embroidery and accessories

✅ Cool undertones look great in:

• Icy colors like lavender, sky blue, mint, and rose

• Jewel tones like sapphire, emerald, and wine

• Blue-tinted pastels, soft greys, and whites

• Silver-based detailing and trims

✅ Neutral undertones look great in:

• Dusty rose, teal, navy, charcoal, blush, and soft beige

• Most pastels and rich tones with a subtle fade

• Both gold and silver — you're lucky!

What About Fabric and Finish?

• Matte fabrics (like cotton or hakoba) bring out tone better for warm and neutral skin

• Glossy fabrics (like satin or georgette) shine beautifully on cooler undertones

• Tie-dye, block print, or gradient tones can suit everyone — but adjust the base color to match your tone

And remember — lighting changes everything. Try pieces in natural daylight before deciding.

It’s not about following color rules.
It’s about finding the shades that feel like you — the ones that make your skin look lit from within, and your outfit feel like it belongs to you, not just your closet.

Because when the color is right, you don’t need to accessorize it.
You become the statement.
