An important part of choosing the right colors for your wardrobe is to pick the ones that flatter your skin tone. First, you need to decide which season most accurately describes your complexion. "Winter" complexions have blue or pink undertones. Skin can be pale white, yellowish-olive, or dark. Winter people are generally brunettes, with deeply colored eyes. Many Asians and African Americans fall into this category.
"Summer" complexions, like winter complexions, have blue or pink undertones. Skin is pale and pink. Summers are often natural blondes or brunettes with pale eyes.
"Autumn" complexions have golden undertones. Many redheads and brunettes with golden brown eyes fall into this category.
"Spring" complexions have golden undertones and are usually creamy white or peach. Spring people generally have straw-colored or strawberry red hair, freckles, rosy cheeks, and blue or green eyes.
Now that you know your "season" - let's talk about choosing colors to flatter your skin tone!
"Winters" should wear colors that are sharp and clear. White, black, navy blue, red and shocking pink are good choices. For lighter colors, wear icy tones rather than pastels. Avoid subdued tones like beige, orange and gold.
"Summers" should choose pastels and soft neutrals with rose and blue undertones. Lavender, plum, rose-brown and soft blue are great, but black and orange are not.
"Autumns" should select colors with golden undertones including camel, beige, orange, gold and dark brown. Avoid items with blue tones, like navy.
"Springs" can wear warm colors like camel, peach, golden yellow and golden brown. Avoid dark, dull colors.
