The Best Colors for Redheads II

In a previous article we were talking about the best choices of colors for women with dark red, copper or auburn tinted hair and whether it's wise to sport pink or bright red clothes when your hair is such an intense color. The conclusion was that as long as you're familiar with a few basic principles of color mixing and matching and you know the kind of effects you can achieve by wearing bright colors with your bright red hair, the rest is a matter of personal taste and of making an individualized fashion statement.

It's time to discuss some more styling options, this time for ladies with strawberry blond and light auburn hair. When your hair has this color naturally, you probably also have complementary light skin with peach or golden undertones and light green or blue eyes. The best colors for you are marine and violet or aqua blue, which will make you look absolutely sensational. Most pastel colors are also great for you and you can confidently purchase garments in anything from apricot and beige to golden yellow and peachy shades of pink. Warm gray and dark, muted purple are also a good choice for those basic neutral items in your closet such as suit jackets, vests and pants.

Among the shades you should probably stay away from are dark grays, along with plums and rich red wine colors, as they will probably clash with your complexion. Your best friend in the whole color scheme is green - mainly because it's amazingly versatile and there is the right shade of green for every shade of red invented by the human mind. The lighter your hair color, the lighter the green you should choose. As a final rule, if you happen to absolutely love one of the colors that really don't go well with your face, wear it as far away from your face as possible. Skirts, pants or shoes in this color are a good idea, as are other accessories such as belts or bags.
