How to Choose Your Dress Color

Consider your undertone. Cool undertones shine in jewel tones, silver, and blue-based shades; warm undertones glow in gold, coral, olive, and rich browns; neutral undertones can wear almost anything.

Match the season and setting. Pastels and florals feel fresh for spring and summer, while emerald, burgundy, navy, and velvet suit fall and winter. For evening and black-tie events, deep colors and metallics feel especially elegant.

Follow the occasion. As a wedding guest, avoid white and ivory. For bridal parties, browse bridesmaid dresses, where many styles come in dozens of coordinating shades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What color dress should I wear to a wedding?

Jewel tones such as emerald, navy, and burgundy are classic for fall and evening weddings, while pastels, florals, and soft blues suit spring and summer. Follow any color guidance from the couple and match the formality of the invitation.

What colors should you not wear to a wedding?

Avoid white, ivory, and very pale shades that could look bridal in photos, unless the couple requests them. It is also polite to avoid the bridesmaids' color if you know it.

How do I choose a dress color for my skin tone?

Look at the veins on your wrist: blue or purple suggests cool undertones, which pair well with jewel tones, silver, and blue-based pinks and reds. Green suggests warm undertones, which glow in gold, coral, olive, and rich browns. A mix of both means neutral undertones, and most colors will work. Above all, choose the color you feel best in.

What is the most popular prom dress color?

Black, red, light blue, pink, and emerald are perennial prom favorites, and metallics like gold and silver are always popular. The best color is the one that makes you feel confident in photos.

What color shoes go with any dress?

Nude or skin-tone heels and metallics such as gold, silver, or champagne work with nearly every color. Clear heels are another versatile option.
