When choosing what colours to wear, not only must the colours of clothing go well together but it is important to take a few other things into consideration too. These are hair colour, skin tone and eye colour.
If you have blue/grey eyes then go for black, grey or white as a foundation colour. Colours which can accompany grey are purples, lilac, light blues, lavender, black and some shades of yellow. Green, royal blue, purples, turquoise and red, all suit black and white.
For people who have green eyes then the colours of clothes to wear are any shades of brown or orange. Olive green is also a great colour to wear. To make green eyes stand out wear a top which has different shades of green in it.
Brown eyed people should go for browns, yellow-based greens, oranges, peaches and light-camels, whilst avoiding wearing greys, navys, taupes and pinks as these will make you look pale.
With skin tones and hair colour, it is important to match the colour of your clothes with these. For very fair skin and blonde, light brown or red hair then ideal colours to combine would be black and white, chocolate and red, chocolate and khaki, grey and black, lavender and maroon.
If you have fair skin and dark hair the colours to choose would be maroon and yellow, navy blue and beige, beige and white, grey and maroon. For people with matt skin and dark hair choose pink and orange, green and beige, red and grey, red and black.
A few pointers for matching colours are as follows; Grey is a neutral colour, so therefore it can be worn with any colour. Choose one colour to be the main colour for your outfit but it is advisable not to wear more than 3 colours in the same outfit as this could make you look like a clown. Try and wear brighter colours for your upper body as this will brighten up your face.
