How To Choose a Lingerie Color That's Right for You

You know exactly what you are looking for and where to get it. You may even have measured yourself and know exactly what size you are and everything. Do you know what colors look best on you? Whether or not the color suits you is probably the least considered part about lingerie shopping for women. Many women just wing it or buy their favorite color. Nevertheless, the color of your lingerie can make of break the sexiness of it. You don’t want to pick out a color that washes you out or makes you look too pale or dark. Other women figure you can never go wrong with black or white. That is true but your collection will get awfully boring if it only contains one color. There are a few things about yourself you will need to consider when choosing that perfect color. You want to look at skin tone, eye color, and hair color. Each one of these attributes can broaden your color spectrum.

Eye color can be a real winner when deciding what color lingerie to choose. For blue eyes, all shades of blue from the lightest to the darkest will work. This can give you quite a few options considering just how many shades of blue there are. Browns or a mix of blues with browns also work very well for the blue-eyed lady. For the green eyed lady of course anything with green. However, reds and floral prints with reds and greens in a combination are just spectacular. Olives and earth tones will also match the green eye color well. Hazel eyes have a wide variety of possibilities. They can get away with blues, greens, browns, and all earth tones. Brown-eyed women look great in purples, browns, and the darker colors. So when shopping for the perfect piece you need to consider what will make your eyes stand out.

Next, you will want to consider the color of your hair. Blondes tend to look best in pastel colors. The light pinks, blues, purples, and greens do not over power the light nature of the hair color. Too dark of a color can cause your face to be washed out and won’t flatter you. Brunettes look fabulous in great in stronger colors, earth tones, and colorful prints. You want to stick with colors that will not be so light that they fade out of the primary focus. Navy blue, hunter, green, red, and purples will all look great with darker hair. Redheads look absolutely amazing in bright sassy colors like red, emerald green, crisp blues and purples. They work as well as earth tones too. Make sure you try things on to be sure they bring out your hair and not make it look non-existent. Part of the sexiness in women is their hair. You are trying to tie together all your best assets not hide them.

The last thing to consider, but not the least by any means, is skin color. Depending on the tone of your skin you can get washed away or not be able to tell the difference from you and the lingerie. For those ladies with that gorgeous porcelain skin stick to light to powder colors. If you are going to experiment with slightly brighter colors then make sure that it matches either your eyes or hair to offset the skin tone issue. Those ladies with olive and tan skin you can get away with powdered and medium colors. Use your eye and hair colors to know which color schemes work best in this realm for you. Stay away from pastels they will wash you out and make you look too plain. The point is too look fabulous. For those women with ebony or dark skin you have many options to work with. Pastels will give your skin tone a drastic contrast. Use your eye color to pick which colors would look best on you for this dynamite look. You can also get away with all the dark and extreme colors as well. Deep reds, blues, greens, and purples look absolutely incredible. As one can see color is a major component to picking out that sexy lingerie outfit. It can be the difference between good and incredibly hot and tantalizing.
