Ah yes, the second part to my series of ‘what to wear with ____ skin tone’ posts. The first was the ‘What to wear with fair skin‘ post which was brilliant, naturally. And now you’ll find out what colors to wear with olive skin tone (or medium skin tone, they’re both very similar.)
If you’re blessed with a medium complexion, then you’ve got a wide variety of colors that you can wear, because lots of colors look wonderful with your skin tone. Here are a few great examples.
Some of the colors that you can wear beautifully with your skin tone include pale pink, coral, white/ivory, royal blue, navy blue, true purple, mint green, and black. Earth tones (and jewel tones) in general look gorgeous with olive/medium skin. One of my favorite colors ever to wear with a olive/medium skin tone is yellow. It just pops so well!!
Colors to avoid with this skin tone are few, but they include brown, mauve, and beige.
Much like fair skin tones, you don’t want to wear any colors that are close to the color of your skin because it can, and will, wash you out.
I hope this little guide helps for you! Though it’s important to experiment with your skin tone for yourself and see what looks good, and what might not look best! Only then will you truly know what colors are best suited for YOU! 🙂
