Finding Your Most Flattering Swimwear Colour
Colour theory isn't just for interior design — the right swimwear shade can make your tan pop, brighten your whole look, and just make you feel more like yourself in photos. Here's a simple way to think about which of our colourways might suit you best.
Warm Undertones: Tangerine and Guava
If your skin has golden, peachy, or olive undertones, warm shades tend to be the most flattering — they complement rather than compete with your natural colouring. The Tangerine Dream Tie Top and Guava Dream Tie Top both lean warm and tend to make a tan look even deeper and richer.
Cool Undertones: Lemonade
If your skin has pink, red, or blue undertones, cooler and contrasting tones often read as more vibrant against your skin. The blue-and-yellow Lemonade Dream Tie Top offers that contrast — the blue cools things down while the yellow still keeps it bright and summery.
Not Sure of Your Undertone? Check Your Wrist
A quick trick: look at the veins on the inside of your wrist in natural light. Greenish veins usually mean warm undertones; bluish or purple veins usually mean cool undertones. If you can't tell either way, you likely have a neutral undertone — lucky you, since that means almost every shade in the range will work.
When in Doubt, Contrast Sells
Even outside of matching your undertone, a striped or two-tone piece like the Lemonade Royale Tie Top naturally draws the eye and photographs well against most skin tones, since the contrast does a lot of the work for you.
Trust What Makes You Feel Good
Colour theory is a helpful starting point, not a rulebook. If a shade makes you feel confident, that's usually the right answer regardless of undertone.
