The best clothing colors for warm skin tones are the ones from the earthy color spectrum, shades that give a nice sweet glow to your complexion and help you look feminine and fresh. There are also several undertones for a warm skin tone, that you can use as clues for choosing colors that compliment a warm skin tone.
How Do You Know If You Have a Warm Skin Tone?
The answer lies inside your arms, literally! Take a close look at the skin of your right arm and check if you see undertones like golden beige, pale peach or bronze. Also, you are more likely to have a warm skin tone if you’re a natural redhead or brunette with dark eyes.
Generally, natural golden blonds or reddish blond redheads with light blue and green eyes have a fair skin with warm undertones like subtle creamy white and ivory in which case they should opt for gold colored clothes that make the skin look radiant.
Colors That Compliment a Warm Skin Tone
As you already know, a warm skin tone can have brighter undertones (golden beige, peach or bronze) or more subtle undertones (ivory, creamy white). This means the best clothing colors for warm skin tones also divide in these two categories.
For a warm skin tone with brighter undertones, you should dress using colors like golden, bronze and earthy hues. They deliver a nice visual impact when placed next to your skin and emphasize its beauty. Other colors that compliment warm skin tones are orange, camel, dark brown, tangerine, red, burgundy, beige and gray.

On the other hand, if you have a warm skin tone with white and ivory undertones, it’s best to dress in delicate colors like pastels, golden yellow, light peach, aqua blue, ivory, bright green and coral. Think about marine shades, appropriate for really hot weather.
How Not To Dress For a Warm Skin Tone
Sorry to break this to you, but the trendy combination black&white isn’t the most flattering option for your warm skin tone. Avoid completely dark, dull and muted colors, that make you look pale and take away the beautiful glow of your skin.
Also, really bright colors and dark blue tones don’t make a warm skin tone shine. Stick with the earthy, warm hues and you’ll flatter your natural complexion through fashion, every day!
