Clothing colour guide to suit greys, redheads, blondes and brunettes! – RSVP Live

Stylist to the stars Laura Mullets gives us her top tips.

As we edge in to brighter and warmer weather its important to make clothing choices that suit our style, reflect our mood, make us feel confident and that embrace the season.

Conventionally, when it comes to colour theory, blonde hair and lighter eyes go hand-in-hand with fair skin and tend to co-ordinate with either subdued pastel colours or the opposite. Think baby pinks, lavender, blue hues, sands, beige, mint, sage and jewel-toned bluish greens, purples and red as the contrasting tones. Its the middle spectrum ones and wheatier colours that can be complexion draining.

When it comes to clothing tones for brunettes, more saturated shades work particularly well. Opt for deep pinks and violets, vibrant blues and greens with a yellowish undertone. Warm greens are commonly called names like olive, khaki, pear, lime, pistachio etc and work with multi-tonal highlighted brunette hair.Cool greens are often called names like forest, bottle green and emerald. Ruby red, burgundy, plum tones are enhancing on brunettes. Purples are extremely flattering on women with dark hair and sallower skin too. A stylish way to enhance your features if youre a more minimal person is opting for a singular piece that really brings out your eye colour. Repeating and reflecting your eye colour in a top, tailored blazer, scarf or statement jewellery draws attention to your face and intensifies the colour of your eyes. Its a styling trick of the trade that packs a punch.

If you've got ginger-red or strawberry-blonde hair, it can be incredibly versatile when it comes to dressing. So if you're a redhead who feels constricted to a mundane colour palette, think again! Navy, cobalt and blue tones look regal but green is famously favoured as a quintessential wow factor complimentary tone. My expert advice is to layer your greens. Muted khaki-colours,jadetones and sage or pistachio can look incredibly sophisticated when you play with textures. Unlikely pairings lend versatility.

For example, a camo-style neutral sage jacket paired with a vibrant emerald slip skirt, soft green linen tee tucked in underneath and a snowy sneaker or washed out earthy green flat boho sandal to finish if youre exuding Summer styling. Opposites attract - luscious meets subdued. Relaxed glamour is the go-to vibe for SS20.

I think sunshine tones like buttery yellow can be gorgeous but not so much lemon sorbet which can be wishy washy. Also mustard can make a redhead look withdrawn so find the mid-point of the colour spectrum thats richer. Something that enhances and co-ordinates rather than being excessive or bland.

When it comes to clothing colours to go with grey hair think bold tones and contemporary tailored styles. Monochrome, navy, pure snowy white as opposed to creamier ivory and jewel tones like ruby, sapphire, cobalt, magenta and violet.
