With spring upon us and summer rapidly approaching, the black leggings and grey<br />
sweaters in our wardrobes are being switched out in favor of bright florals, cheery<br />
sundresses, and colorful accessories. With all of the colors in the Crayola box to<br />
choose from (Mango Tango, anyone?), it can be difficult to know which hues are<br />
flattering and which will make your look flop.<br />
The simplest way to determine what colors look best on you is to break down your<br />
skin tone. Within the spectrum of light-to-dark skin tones, everyone has one of<br />
two base undertones to their skin: cool, and warm. To find out what yours is, have<br />
a look at the veins in your wrist: if the veins appear more purple-blue, you’re<br />
probably cool-toned. If they appear more green-blue, you’re probably warmtoned.<br />
Of course, these colors are mere suggestions! Get to know the color wheel to play<br />
with complementary colors and analogous colors. Experimenting with the color<br />
wheel can be a great way to find accessories that pop, but don’t distract from (or<br />
clash with) your outfit.<br />
Whether your skin is peachy, olive, or espresso, you can find colors that will make<br />
your spring and summer wardrobe as vibrant and beautiful as you are.
