Somebody once gave me a very handy piece of advice about how to get away with wearing colors that don’t particularly flatter you. It’s quite obvious, but in a million years would not have occurred to me:
You just throw on a hit of another, more flattering, color—and make sure this is the one that comes closest to your face. So easy! And so easily accomplished, with a scarf or a necklace, or a bit of strategic layering. Or, if you’re the too-lazy/busy-to-style-yourself type—and if your most tragic hue, like mine, happens to be grey—you can just throw on this this clever little number.
I save my unflattering colors for handbags, shoes and belts. That way teal, mustard, pumpkin and chartreuse never come near my face.
Great piece of advice. Did you happen to look at the back of this sweater? What a shame – it’s so lovely from the front.
I know. I keep wondering if the front is worth the back.
I’m afraid I have to say, no.
You can do better.
Unless, you are feeling an 80s vibe that day, in which case, it could work.
I would look like a large square in that sweater with those striped in that silhuette. Eek. Love the advice though. And accessories are the best place for trendy unflattering to the complexion colors.
