Colour Theory: What Colour Suits You Best

When it comes to choosing outfits and trying new looks it can sometimes be frustrating to find colour combos that work. We have all been there certain colours making us look washed out or drained, that is because our skin tones determine which colours look good!

Knowing your skin tone can help you understand which colour types work best for you.

Everyone’s base skin tone is either warm or cool! An easy way to check your skin tone is by examining the veins on the underside of your arm and wrist. If your veins appear more of a blue shade, you have a cool skin tone, veins with more of a green tint point to you having a warm skin tone!

Be sure to check out Boux Avenue's What Colour Suits Me Blog, which our consumers can enjoy to help them find their perfect colour. 

Using the colour wheel above can help you see which colours complement each other to result in a instaworthy look! Shades that are next to each other in the wheel naturally blend together. Choosing these colours is known as analogous combinations! If you prefer to be more daring and bold with your colours then choose opposite colours in the wheel, as these complement each other perfectly. 

If you have a cool skin tone – colours with blue undertones will suit you best. Think purples, pinks, bright emerald greens and all shades of blues. We have pulled a few of our favourite and new in styles below. Including the return of Boux's SOLD OUT Saffie line which is now available in trend worthy cobalt blue. Last time Boux's Saffie leg harness sold out in 4 weeks when available in Black and Red, so you may want to get your hands on this one asap!!!! 

If you have a warmer skin tone the colours you are going to want to go for include, yellows, greens browns and other warmer colours like reds or oranges. Below are a few of our favourite pieces that will perfectly compliment warm skin tones.
