- Pairings
- Your contrast is high. Go for bold pairings: a vivid color with bright white or navy, or two vivid colors that play off each other (coral and turquoise). Very soft tone-on-tone looks fade on you.
- Patterns
- Crisp, high-contrast prints, medium to large: bold stripes, polka dots, color blocking, geometrics, graphic florals. Skip washed-out or blurry prints.
- Fabrics
- Smooth, luminous fabrics: cotton poplin, silk, satin, patent leather, fine knits. Shine suits you. Skip faded looks, heathered fabrics and very rustic textures.
- Glasses
- Choose crisp frames: high-contrast tortoiseshell, a clear color (red, turquoise, royal blue), deep navy or polished gold. Glossy suits you better than matte. Skip washed-out shades.
