What to wear with a coral dress?
Features of coral color
Among the wide variety of colors - coral is one of the brightest, but not flashy shades. Coral color is located in the palette between red and orange. However, it is not as catchy and aggressive as the first. And not as fancy as the second one. Coral gives tenderness and joy. And the name itself evokes associations with beautiful seafood - corals.
If someone associates the coral color with frivolity, then in vain. Like corals, hard on the outside and soft on the inside, this color is chosen by women who combine external strength and internal softness and tenderness.
Always remaining bright, the coral color of many of the fair sex still scares away. However, one should not forget that clothes of this color are made in a variety of shades, so a woman of any age can pick it up for herself. The choice of coral-colored clothing ranges from mother-of-pearl pink (the most delicate shade) to red-orange. He is the darkest. The first shade will make the image weightless. Light tones of coral, turning into light pink, will add peace to the image.
Who will suit
Coral shades differ in color type: cold and warm. The color types "summer" and "winter" are considered cold. If you are blonde with fair, white skin, your color type is summer. Pale skin plus the dark hair color of a bright brunette will classify you as a “winter” color type.In this case, cool shades of coral, such as mauve, will suit you.
Girls "autumn" and "spring" (brunettes and blondes with darker skin) can choose warm shades of coral for their wardrobe. "Spring" girls are recommended to choose muted tones. "Autumn" is more saturated, warm, for example, red-terracotta or red-orange, which resemble the colors of a sunset.
If your skin pleases the eye with a beautiful golden tan, then the coral color will give you even more radiance.
Don't be afraid of coral. After all, your appearance will depend not only on him alone, but also on the model of clothing, as well as accessories and properly selected shoes.
What to wear
Long dress
Classic black color matched with a long coral dress is a versatile option that you can never go wrong with. To this outfit, you can pick up a black strap and the same shoes. Black color will emphasize and make coral more catchy. Lacquer shoes will look advantageous in such an ensemble.
But the image can be softened if you choose white to frame such an outfit. Add white sandals and the same handbag to the set - and you are guaranteed a casual light look. A white jacket will perfectly fit into this combination if the weather requires warmer equipment.
When the dress is decorated with ruffles, draperies and various folds, accessories in bright colors will suit it. Such an image will not allow other people's views to slip past you. You will always stand out from the rest.
If you are looking at a dress made of silk fabric, then you should know that there is no better option for a coral color. Silk allows you to convey all the versatility of this shade.Gold jewelry will be the best addition to such an outfit. For example, you can complement the image with elongated earrings. But always remember to be subtle so as not to overwhelm the outfit.
An image made up of several shades of coral will be very unusual. The main thing is that there should be no more than three of them.
Short dress
The meek dress itself can be used both for going to work and for a party. It all depends on what you add to it. If your dress is made of light flowing fabric, fashion trends dictate to decorate it with a rich blue braided strap. To subdue the image, choose shoes in light colors, white or beige.
A mini dress also requires the number of accessories to be reduced to a minimum. Moreover, if the dress is quite strict, then massive jewelry will suit it. A complex cut, frills, etc. require not to overload the image and use small pendants and not flashy earrings.
The brown-gold gamut of colors goes well with coral. Try to combine low black ankle boots, you can add a jacket and a handbag in golden colors.
A short coral dress for daily use is a shirt dress. The length is better to choose the average. And such an outfit will be combined with brown shoes and other toilet items.
Another color that is combined with coral is green and its turquoise shades, mint, fuchsia. They dilute the brightness of the coral color and at the same time emphasize them.
Choosing makeup and manicure
Let's start with the skin. If you have any flaws, tone them carefully. Acne, dark circles, translucent blood vessels - coral will further emphasize all the imperfections of the face.
Lips
Cosmetics should be combined not only with the dress, but also with its texture. If you apply lip gloss and make them wet, then a dress made of soft fabric will not suit him. Such lips will break your soft image.
Light coral clothes and bright lipstick will only lose and look dull. And vice versa. If you put on a bright coral suit, then matte lips will look even paler and seem completely boring. Therefore, experts recommend using a lipstick that matches the color of your dress. If you deviate a little from it, you will spoil the whole ensemble. But you can experiment with tone.
For evening make-up, juicy lipstick is suitable, which will be several tones darker than the dress. During the day, on the contrary, use lipstick a few tones lighter. In this case, don't forget to highlight the eyes. Otherwise, against the general background, the face will be lost.
Do not forget about the general rules for applying makeup. Thin lips need extra volume and definition, so a very light lipstick is not suitable for them. Plump expressive lips will look too aggressive with bright colors.
Shadows
Tanned skin of a beautiful tone will allow you to use coral even in the shadows. For owners of pale skin with a hint of yellowness, this option is not suitable. Don't use coral shadows if there are shadows around the eyes, otherwise they will appear inflamed or sore. The same effect will produce blue shades of makeup.
But, if you are a brunette in a coral dress, then blue-black shadows will suit you very well. They will make the look languid and very sexy.
All shades of blue and green will suit the coral look if you use accessories of the same color. Owners of green eyes can use the same shadows.Picked up a tone lighter or darker, they will emphasize your eyes. Complete the look with jewelry, scarves and other little things in this color scheme.
Smokey Eyes makeup also goes well with coral. But in its saturation there are no restrictions only for swarthy brunettes. The rest of the fair sex can perform a "smoky look" in gray and chocolate tones. Depending on the saturation, such makeup will make the image softer or catchy.
Separate recommendations for blondes with fair skin. You are advised not to overuse eyeliner. Otherwise, you will achieve that the look will seem heavy and old. Especially against the background of a light coral dress.
Coral loves all shades of beige: from sand to chocolate. But skin color matters too. The easiest way to pick up makeup for swarthy girls. They are suitable for terracotta colors, rich shades of dark chocolate.
When choosing blush, do not forget that the color of your dress is coral. Therefore, they should also be lighter or darker. It depends on the daytime or evening make-up you apply. If you overdo it with color, you can achieve the undesirable effect of an unhealthy blush or shame-filled cheeks. To avoid this, mix coral blush with beige. Then you will achieve the color that suits you the most.
There is another way to apply blush under a coral outfit. It is suitable for business makeup. First, apply blush in soothing shades. Then, using a wide brush, add a light layer of coral blush on top. You will get a barely noticeable touch of the desired shade.
A short summary of what to avoid when choosing a coral dress:
- contrast pencil
- lipstick and blush of a different color
- shades of purple, yellow and turquoise tones.
Accessories
Coral color requires that the decorations are not very voluminous and bulky. Indeed, in itself, a coral dress is not an ordinary toilet item, but an ornament, only made of fabric. When choosing accessories, the first thing you need to pay attention to is the cut of the outfit. The simpler the model, the more complex the accessories can be and have larger sizes. The outfit, which in itself includes decor, must be emphasized with light and unobtrusive toilet items or not required at all.
Black accessories for a coral dress are a classic. Belt, handbag, shoes - and your outfit, despite all the brightness and elegance of coral, will remain strict and elegant. One of the items of the toilet can be chosen in gold color and give the image an extra charm.
White shades of accessories will make the image softer, but no less luxurious.
Beige is suitable for unpretentious office options. Emerald colors of jewelry, handbags, scarves - the perfect combination with coral. Do not try to go unnoticed by wearing this bright image.
What decorations are suitable
Dresses in coral shades require compliance with the usual rules in the selection of jewelry. This means that more than three items do not need to be used. Jewelry must be of the same material. And if your clothes have a print, then jewelry that repeats the pattern on the dress is ideal for it.
Bijouterie
As a rule, jewelry plays two roles: either it dilutes the main color due to colors of similar shades, or emphasizes it due to contrast. Metal chains and other jewelry in silver and gold colors are a great choice for a coral dress. At the same time, the gray color cools the warmth of the dress, while gold, on the contrary, softens and gives tenderness.
beads
One of the best friends of coral dresses are beads made of natural or imitation pearls. The mother-of-pearl pink color of the dress can be complemented with jewelry of the same color. You can choose beads from moonstone or turquoise. A special summer look is created by jewelry made of shells of mother-of-pearl flowers. Choose it if all the shades of your image are made in light colors.
Shoes
Shoes for a coral dress depend both on the style and on the season. An outfit of this color will go well with shoes, sandals, boots ... It all depends on the occasion and the specific image.
What shoes fit
Shoes are able to decorate or spoil any image, so approach their choice very responsibly. The option of choosing shoes of the same shade as the dress is widespread. But you can also use shoes of a different color from blue to gray. The main thing is that in your arsenal there is at least one accessory of this de color.
You should not wear open sandals if your coral dress is intended for work in the office. Also, do not wear shoes that are overly overloaded with jewelry.
Remember the beige color - such shoes will suit a simple and cute look from a business meeting to a walk with friends.
If the dress is short, then it is better to exclude high heels or choose low-speed shoes. Very short coral dress combined with a heel from
