    Default Colors for brunettes

    I know there have been previous posts like this but what kind of color dresses do you think work for girls with dark complexions and which don't. I have dark brown hair and olive skin and can't seem to make up my mind about which colors look good on me? So what do you girls think?

    White?
    Black?
    Purple?
    Hot pink?
    baby pink?
    Red?
    Royal blue?
    Baby blue?
    Yellow?
    Lime green?

    I think it would also help if you told us what your style was, or the specific look you were goig for was....

    Personally, i think exotic... dark features... therefore I think brighter clothes... use what you have,... make your darker features accentuate your clothing (or rather vice versus). So, brighter colours, White, hot pink, yellow, baby blue...... black looks hot on everyone and red looks amazing with olive skin.... just have fun, find your own style and you'll get it...

    HAVE FUN! xo

    Well, things about brunettes is you could be caucasian and have dark hair or be african american and have dark hair...luckily I have seem your pictures.
    I hear alot of people do well in red it would be a great choice. If you want variety you could choose: aqua, lavender, baby blue, orange(but not as a dress more like a two piece), and regular pink. Try on some of the bright versions as well as some jewel tones look well in complementing dark hair with olive or dark complexions. FYI I have dark hair with and caramel skin..so those also have worked well with me. Oh yea, when you try these on see if you can try them on w/ shoes in GOOD light.

    White and pale turquoise blue look smashing on brunettes!

    Bright yellow too, and blush pink.

    Red is obvious but the right shade works well, black washes brunettes out, imo- black should be reserved for blondes.

    I'm mixed Caucasian brunette and I love experimenting w/ color. I found a two picece in the most amazing shade of vivid, not neon, lavenderish-purple, trimmed w/ black and ultra feminine. I have had more people tell that is my color and guys really love it.


    Ironically, my biggest tipping regular loves black . I don't have very much of it and I think I have worn everything I have for him...in black.

    If he wants to see me in more black, he'll have to buy it for me

    Cheers,

    Corey

    White - helps us look tanned plus it sticks out
    Black - more exotic
    Purple - classy goes well with darker hair/skin
    Red - sexy
    Royal blue - same as purple
    Baby blue - cute and fun


    funky neon colors look best on blondes imo.
