Powdery color is the same easy mystery as a thin veil of powder. It is believed that this color scheme includes shades that are close to the color of the skin and blush. Other names for this palette are often found on the covers of fashion magazines: flesh-colored, beige, natural, nude ... But now they also officially include the insanely fashionable “baby blue” and other delicate, as if powdered, shades of purple, blue, gray and green colors. Let's try to understand the nuances and determine what to wear with a powdery color.
Reference to yourself
Natural colors suit everyone without exception and can be used in all components of the wardrobe. How to choose “your” powdery color in clothes? Depending on the color of the skin and hair, shades need to be selected different. Blondes with light eyes and skin will look great in clothes of green and blue, as well as coral shades of powder. For brunettes, win-win options are natural, beige or bronze. The latter is especially true if the skin has a tint of tan. There are exceptions to this rule: for example, brunettes with dark eyes and cold skin will look great in clothes with a blue shade of powder.
An equally important point that should be immediately taken into account: we select golden accessories to warm shades of the powder color, and complement the cold ones with the sparkle of silver jewelry. If you adhere to this rule, it is impossible to make a mistake. The image that will be obtained in the combination of such colors will be elegant, feminine and airy. It doesn’t matter if you came up with an evening or everyday outfit.
You can either stick in the image as a single shade, or test the combination of powdery color. And not only within the framework of this palette, but also with other colors.
Pastel colors look great with natural shades
: gold, light lemon, mint, lilac, light brown. Using them, you will emphasize the image, but do not violate the impression of weightlessness.
How to choose the right powdery dress
When choosing a dress, first of all pay attention to whether the style suits you, whether it emphasizes the charms of the figure and hides the flaws. This is important, as the color will enhance the impression, and the “cons” if not made correctly will be visible even more.
Recently, powdery color has been very popular with brides: instead of a white dress, the young one often goes to the crown in an ivory or baby blue outfit. Dresses in natural shades look good in both day and evening versions.
For the evening, choose a dress of complex cut, to the knee or to the floor. Outfits of this color scheme, decorated with embroidery with beads, with lace inserts or containing all together, also look beautiful. The neutral color allows you to experiment, but an ornate dress is better to combine with simple accessories and shoes. It is worth picking them to match the dress or in a neutral color - black, for example.
Dresses for a day out should be a little more restrained. If you want to create an image in one color or several of its shades, stop at a dress of simple cut. If it almost merges with skin color, it is better to choose a textured fabric - otherwise the impression of a “naked body” will appear. If you want to add bright accents, the dress can be very simple. It is enough to add bright shoes, a handbag or a thin red belt to make the image “shine”. The main thing is not to overdo it, since a dress of a neutral color can very easily “get lost” among an abundance of catchy details.
Beige shoes: lifesaver for all occasions
Powdery color and all its variations are beloved by shoe designers. There is a reason: shoes of neutral shades are ideally suited to all outfits - daytime and evening. Laconic ballet flats or classic high-heeled shoes, as well as various elaborate models on a wedge, non-standard heel or without it, look equally stylish. The nature of the shoe in this case determines the decor and material.
All women of fashion should know that a correctly selected pair of beige high-heeled shoes will not only slim, but make your legs visually longer. But for this you need to observe the following conditions: a high heel (and not an average or wedge heel), the tone of the shoe should match the owner’s skin color as much as possible. The black tights here are bad manners.
How to choose the perfect nude skirt
The neutral color skirt is universal, but each length has its own characteristics. Short or knee-length, a flesh-colored skirt goes well with similar colors, as well as red, green and - especially - the blue top of all shades. If the combination involves one color scheme, the skirt should be distinguished by interesting details, cut or texture. The density of the fabric can be any.
A skirt on the floor looks best if it is made of flying fabric, such as chiffon. It can be worn with ballet flats or high-heeled shoes, but wedges and medium heels should be avoided. The top under the maxi skirt is usually selected as simple and plain as possible. But if you like to experiment and have a good sense of style, don't be afraid to try bold combinations.
Neutral Accessories
The powdery color looks very beautiful in the details: bags, clutches, necklaces, hats. If your image is designed in one color scheme, and you select accessories to match the clothes, it is with their help that you can make the outfit catchy. If the clothes “play” due to the cut, details or texture, you can choose the simplest handbag (hat, etc.) and use them to further enhance the effect.
Accessories of neutral colors are indispensable, if you like bright outfits - then the image will be balanced. For example, a bright maxi dress and red shoes will only benefit from a bag of the most delicate shade, and a light hat will not let it overheat in the sun.
So, the powdery color is universal and suits everyone. The main thing is to find your own shade and correctly combine it with others. We hope we have helped you with this. Shine!
