Warm, cool, or neutral, knowing our skin undertone helps us understand which colors suit us best.

In general, the rule is:

• Warm undertone – earth tones, yellows, oranges, reds, vibrant greens like grass green, cream tones from beige to brown, soft pink and pale pink, teal and strong blue.
• Cool undertone – blues, from light to dark, deep greens like bottle green, purplish tones like purple, lilac, burgundy, and eggplant, strong pink and fuchsia, deep red, grays, white.
• Neutral undertone – practically all colors, go for it!

These color sets are just indicative; colors not mentioned in each set are not prohibited.

The intention is to guide your choice by indicating which colors generally enhance or diminish each undertone, not to limit it.

For instance, if you have a cool undertone and are torn between a dress in blue or yellow, opt for blue.

But if you really, really, really love a dress that’s only available in yellow, go for it anyway. You can then complement it with accessories in a color more suitable for your undertone.

There’s nothing like trying on and seeing how it looks on you!
