There are so many ways that you can personalize your beauty look based on your hair color. The options are endless and extend from what you choose to do with your makeup to how you select the outfits in your wardrobe. Speaking of your wardrobe, I’m here to talk about the basics of how to coordinate your outfit with your hair color. Understanding how to color-coordinate your hair when creating your personal femme style will mean the difference between your look falling flat and supremely flattering.
When it comes to pairing your wardrobe with your hair color, you have three options: clothes that complement your hair color, clothes that match your hair color, and clothes that perfectly contrast with your hair color.
Let’s look more closely at how to make finding your fashion match easier. I’ve compiled the best clothing options for almost any color you can think of – both for dyed hair and your natural hair color. Read on so that you can learn how to pick clothes based on your hair color.
Knowing this will also help you when selecting a new hair color so that you don’t pick a color that clashes with your wardrobe.
The Best Clothes For Red Hair
Irrespective of whether you’re a natural redhead or have dyed red hair, you will find that shades of green are extremely flattering. I have noticed this to be especially true when picking clothes for dyed red hair. Think about the classic Christmas colors to get a picture of how they go together.
Vibrant red hair contrasts perfectly against emerald and olive colors. Examples of other clothing shades that look great on redheads include ivory and earthy tones like beige, brown, and taupe. Blue is tricky but can also be a beautiful option as long as you stay on the lighter side with shades like aqua as opposed to a deep navy.
The Best Clothes For Blonde Hair
My favorite clothes for pairing with blonde hair include those in neutral shades like cream, ivory, and bright white.
I’m not saying that you can’t play with color. For instance, you’ll find that your blonde strands also look striking when paired against a pastel blouse or orange sundress. Here is a noteworthy fashion hack for you: When it comes to having blonde hair… navy is the new black.
The Best Clothes For Brunette Hair
So many of my brunette friends tell me they want to color their hair without realizing how lucky they are. Because brown hair is known as being a neutral hair color, it opens you to so many more wardrobe options.
Contrast your neutral strands by opting for bright, bold hues like royal blue and purple. You can also play with vivid reds and greens. For an office environment, neutral shades including brown, black, and charcoal will look good on you too.
The Best Clothes For Black Hair
You all know the expression that anyone can look good in a little black dress because the color works well with all skin tones. Therefore, when it comes to the best clothes for black hair, there is no shortage of options either.
Because you have the freedom to play with color, why not go for the bold with anything from hot pink to cobalt blue, and true green? You can also be matching with your wardrobe by wearing black or creating a stark contrast with white outfits. Your stunning office look will be a black skirt suit with a white blouse.
If you have an undertone to your hair, such as blue-black or violet-black, then you can consider wearing a color that will emphasize these subtle tones within your hair color.
The Best Clothes For Gray Hair
It doesn’t matter if you’re naturally gray and resisted the temptation to color your hair, or have decided to hop on the gray hair color trend. Speaking from experience, you’ll find that curating your wardrobe based on your hair is rather simple. Because your hair color is ashy and cool in tone, you’ll generally want to stick to clothes that are similar to this. For instance, look for grays and silvers, as well as cool jewel tones like amethyst and citrine yellow. However, citrine yellow can be tricky depending on your skin tone – it works for me but on my one friend it drains her face of color.
The Best Clothes For Bold Hair Colors
Maybe you are a more adventurous girl and have chosen to be sporting a hair color that’s quite a bit out-of-the-box, such as violet or pastel pink – I have wardrobe options for you too. Your best bet will be to stick with colors in the same family.
For instance, if you have violet hair, the best clothing options for you will be shades of eggplant, lavender, and royal purple. If you have chosen pastel pink hair, you can turn to shades like hot pink, salmon, and rose.
If you’d rather avoid a colored outfit, neutrals also work with either of these hair colors and you can stock your closet with whites, blacks, and tans.
Maybe you are the kind of girl that picks neutrals for the office and picks a colorful outfit for the club or on a date night.
