Powder color in clothes
"Powdery" color is a very fashionable phrase, but what is behind it? So it is customary to call shades that remind us of the colors of face powder - from ivory to coffee with milk. The color of the powder in clothes helps to make any look sophisticated and feminine, but you should understand that every woman has this shade of her own.
Secrets of shades
Powder shades are a whole group of colors. All of them come from the beige scale: this includes the color "ivory", and yellowish-beige shades, and pink-beige, and brownish. In addition, recently, shades of lilac, gray, and blue have been officially included in the “powder” shades - muted, as if “powdered” or dusty.
As a guide, you can look at the famous powder "Meteorites" from Guerlain. The jar contains balls of various colors, but all of them, of course, are “powdery”.
With the help of these colors, you can create a huge number of images - from gentle to hooligan. Powdery tones fit into office style, romantic sets, casual, vintage, and many other styles. What goes with powdery? There are several general rules. All powdery colors will look win-win with white.
Black color is also perfectly combined with delicate shades, but you should be careful with it, because. black makes the image too simple.
An interesting combination can be created by combining a powdery shade with a brighter one from the same color range, for example, powdery pink with pink, dusty yellow with sand, trendy shade "baby blue" with deep blue.
Stylists do not recommend making a total look from powdery flowers. This outfit looks very pale and requires a bright accent. Therefore, if you have chosen a dress and shoes of a delicate color, make sure that the accessories are in deeper tones.
Items in any of the powdery colors look great in combination with denim.
In evening fashion
At the peak of popularity over the past few seasons - evening or cocktail dresses in muted light shades.
Ash pink, "dusty rose"
The perfect choice if you truly love "girly" pink but don't want to look like Barbie. In this color, body-fitting floor-length dresses, cocktail dresses with a puffy skirt, and high-waisted Greek cut dresses look great. Accessories are best chosen from white gold, silver, transparent stones.
Corporal, "nude"
An important detail - flesh is not just "beige". Here you need to choose a shade that is most suitable for skin color (yes, for dark-skinned girls, coffee is considered nude!). Because in such a dress it is easy to pass for immodest. It is better that it does not have a deep neckline or full-length cuts. The ideal accessories for a nude dress are classic yellow gold or gold-colored jewelry.
Muted coral
A great shade for those who for some reason are afraid to wear a provocative red dress, but at the same time want to be bright. This color conveys all the juiciness of coral, but it seems to be covered with frost or sprinkled with powder.Complemented with gold jewelry or pearls.
melon
Pale yellow is a subtle alternative to lemon. Yellow color can hardly be called “evening”, but the melon shade creates a light, elegant and unbanal image. Perfect for curvy girls!
baby blue
"Baby Boy Romper Color", as it is sometimes called, is incredibly romantic! Ruffles, flounces, frills - all this looks great in pale blue, reminiscent of waves or clouds. Accessories are available in white, silver or blue.
Mint
Very trendy color! And although mint leaves are bright green in real life, we call “mint” a delicate and muted turquoise color. For several seasons in a row, we see him not only in clothes, but also in collections of decorative cosmetics, shoes, etc. Most suitable for fair-haired girls.
On every day
All these beautiful shades will look great in other situations. If you want to add softness to a business look, and this is not prohibited by the dress code, replace a strict white blouse with a pinkish or beige one. At the same time, a brown skirt or trousers will support the business style, but hint at the romance of nature.
On Friday, it is quite possible to indulge in a relaxed look in a bluish frilled blouse and stylish navy blue high-waisted trousers.
Powder color in clothes is good not only for blouses and dresses. For example, a skirt or trousers of this color, even with the most strict cut, will make any office bow elegant and solemn.
Classic blue jeans are perfect for powdery sweaters, cardigans, jackets.
On city streets, a coat in powdery shades of beige will look great - a variety of cuts and styles.What bag can be combined with such a coat? Stylists advise brown first, then black or red. For casual looks, a voluminous and soft bag-bag or shopper will be ideal. For a business bow, you should pick up a hard bag, an envelope clutch or a small ladies' diplomat.
Since all powdery shades are soft, blurry, there is always a risk of remaining pale when wearing such an outfit. Cold tones - lilac, mint, bluish - have an unpleasant property to emphasize redness on the face and circles under the eyes.
It is very important to choose the right "your" powdery shades. Who are these colors for? Here's what fashion experts advise:
- Cold shades of powdery colors (blue, green) suit fair-haired girls with light eyes and fair skin.
- Shades of beige, flesh - look better on brunettes.
- Shades of pink: lighter - for fair-haired and fair-skinned, "dusty" and grayish - for brown-haired women, brunettes.
- Girls with a contrasting appearance (Winter color type), when choosing powder-colored clothes, definitely need to make bright accents - large earrings, a bright necklace or quite noticeable makeup. This will preserve the natural brightness of the colors.
Trying on outfits in delicate colors should be done in as bright natural light as possible to clearly see how the clothes fit with the skin.
