How to choose the perfect color according to your skin tone and the season.
Choosing the perfect dress goes far beyond design. Color has the power to brighten your face, highlight your eyes, and bring your style to life.
At Boüret , we believe that elegance isn't just something you wear, it's something you feel. And part of that magic begins with choosing the right shade for you .
Today we're sharing a simple (and powerful) guide to finding the perfect color for your skin tone and the season of your wedding . So you can shine without overshadowing anyone and feel like yourself.
What is your skin tone?
Before choosing colors, identify whether your skin has a warm, cool, or neutral undertone .
A simple trick:
-
Cool undertone : the veins on your wrist look bluish, silver suits you.
-
Warm undertone : the veins look greenish, gold suits you.
-
Neutral undertone : there's no clear trend, everything looks good on you with subtle variations!
Colors for light skin
-
Cold tones : powdery tones, sky blue, lavender, pale pink, mint, pearl gray brighten you up.
-
Warm tones : opt for peach, coral, champagne, aqua, soft mustard.
Avoid overly muted or near-white tones if the wedding is during the day.
Colors for medium skin (beige, golden or light tan)
-
Cold colors : fuchsia, Klein blue, mauve, cherry, plum, jade green.
-
Warm colors : terracotta, kettle, olive green, old gold, tile, burgundy.
These skins look spectacular with intense and contrasting colors.
Colors for dark or very tanned skin
-
Cold colors : midnight blue, violet, ruby red, raspberry.
-
Warm colors : mustard yellow, copper, emerald, strong coral, burnt orange.
