How to select the right colour of t-shirts for yourself.....
Ever wondered why you look good in yellow and dull in blue, or maybe cheerful in blue but pale in yellow. Ever wondered why some people always look good in their clothes and you look like you're dull.
Well, here's the answer to all these questions confined in a single word - undertones.
Undertone is not the same as your skin tone. Your skin tone is the colour of your skin that is visible due to melanin concentration. Undertone, on the other hand, is the colour of your skin lying deep inside but actually determines what looks good on you.
Undertones are of three kinds--- warm undertone, cool undertone and neutral undertone.
If you are warm undertone then warm colours suit you. If you are cool undertone then cool colours suit you. |
Now the question is how to determine which undertone are you?
There are few methods. Let us focus on the basic ones.
- Stand in the open, not directly under the sunlight but in daylight. And hold a piece of paper beside your neck. If your complexion appears yellowish, then you are warm undertone. If you appear bluish or reddish, then you are cool undertone. If you are not sure then lets move to the next step
- Hold your wrist in the daylight. And observe your veins. If they appear bluish then you are cool undertone and If they appear greenish then you are warm undertone.
- If still you are not able to decide, then lucky you, you are neutral. People with neutral undertone can wear almost any colour and look good.
Hope this would help.
