Choosing The Perfect Color For Homecoming

What color homecoming dress should I wear?

If you don’t already have a color in mind why not use the color theory to pick the perfect shade for your skin tone.

When it comes to color theory in fashion, there are three primary color schemes to consider, these are: complementary, analogous, and monochromatic.

Complementary colors are those that are opposite each other on the clothing color wheel. For example, red and green, blue and orange, or purple and yellow are complementary color pairs.

Analogous colors are those that are close to each other on the color wheel and share similar undertones. Blue, green, and teal are examples of analogous colors.

Monochromatic color schemes involve using different shades, tints, or tones of a single color.

Each of the above color schemes tend to suit a certain skin tone more. So, how to work out your skin undertone?

To start, you’ll need to determine if your skin has a warm, cool, or neutral undertone. You can do this by looking at your wrist veins under natural light.

Warm Undertones

If your veins appear to be green, you probably have warm undertones. Warm undertones look best in warm colors, such as reds, oranges, and yellows.

Neutral Undertones

If they are a mix of both, you may have neutral undertones. Those with neutral skin tones have the benefit of suiting almost all hues (lucky), it’s best to pick a shade that falls in the middle of the color spectrum. Neither too bright or too bold.

Cool Undertones

If your veins appear blue or purple, you probably have cool undertones. Cool undertones are elevated by cool colors like blues, greens, and purples.

Just Wanna Wear White

Prefer to keep it timeless with your homecoming look? Opt for white or monochrome.
