- Pairings
- Your contrast is medium to high. Go for clear light-and-dark pairings: ivory with chocolate, cream beige with forest green. A rich color near your face ties it all together.
- Patterns
- Medium to large patterns with confident contrast: paisley, deep tartans, dark animal prints, ikat, kilim. Skip small, pale, washed-out prints.
- Fabrics
- Rich fabrics suit you: velvet, leather, suede, chunky wool, tweed, heavy silk, deep satin. A copper or golden sheen works better than a silvery shine.
- Glasses
- Dark tortoiseshell, chocolate, burgundy, forest green, bronze or antique gold. A bolder frame suits you: it echoes the depth of your coloring.
