Finding your Perfect Shade

Still unsure which shade will suit you best? Explore the dresses in each Universal Color and see which one draws you in.

While Universal Colors are designed to be universally flattering, it's important to remember that each color has a spectrum of shades. What looks stunning on one person might not the the PERFECT shade for another. 

But often the right dress starts with the right color so start by exploring the shade that makes you feel most excited. Don't be afraid to experiment! Find a shade that feels like YOU!

Try on different variations of each Universal Color to discover which ones truly make your complexion glow.

For example, within the teal family, you might find that a lighter more turquoise shade complements your skin tone better than a deeper teal. Similarly, within the pastel pink range, you might discover that a blush pink is more flattering than a cooler pink. The key is to have fun and explore until you find the shades that make you feel absolutely radiant!

Beyond the Dress...

ACCESSORIZING WITH CONFIDENCE:

Choosing color for a special occasion is just the beginning! Once you've got the perfect dress, it's time to elevate your look with the right accessories.

Think about complementary colors and textures that will enhance your overall appearance. A silver necklace and earrings can add a touch of sparkle to a navy dress, while gold accents can beautifully complement a taupe or teal ensemble.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different styles of shoes, handbags, and jewelry to create a look that's uniquely you. They do not have to be the perfect shade to look good, blend shades and textures. 

HAIR AND MAKEUP:

Hair and makeup plays a crucial role in completing your elegant look.

If you're wearing a pastel pink dress, consider soft, romantic makeup with rosy blush and a nude lip. For a bolder look with a turquoise dress, try a smoky eye and a brighter lip color.

When it comes to your hair, choose a style that complements your dress and overall look. An updo can add a touch of sophistication, while loose curls can create a more relaxed and romantic vibe.
