Choosing the right colors can revitalize your look. Follow these guidelines:

  1. Soft Neutrals
    Warm beige, dove gray, and creamy white brighten complexion without washing you out. Avoid stark whites if you have cool undertones.

  2. Jewel Tones
    Emerald green, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple add vibrancy. These rich hues contrast beautifully with silver or white hair.

  3. Pastels Done Right
    Opt for "grown-up" pastels like dusty rose or periwinkle instead of neon brights. Pair with metallic accessories for balance.

  4. Pattern Play
    Floral prints should be medium-sized (not too busy). Geometric patterns in navy/white or black/gold feel modern.

  5. Monochromatic Magic
    Try tonal dressing (e.g., head-to-toe blush pink) with varied textures (silk dress + cashmere wrap) for understated luxury.

Styling Hack: Use scarves in complementary colors to frame your face near high-neck dresses.
