best color for black skin - #13724
I am really confused about what the best color for black skin is. I mean, I have a few friends who are darker than me and they look fab in certain colors, but when I try to wear those same shades, I feel like they just, I don't know, wash me out or something? Like last weekend, I wore this bright orange top, thinking I would nail it because my friend pulled it off so well, but I just felt off. I swear, I need help figuring out what's gonna work best for me. I can't seem to grasp what the best color for black skin really is. I also looked up some articles online, and some said jewel tones are perfect, but others mentioned pastels or earth tones??? Can all of these really be the best color for black skin? It’s so overwhelming! I want to feel confident in what I wear, but I don't know how to choose. Has anyone figured out what colors actually pop on us? I feel like I’m wasting time and money on outfits that don’t even work. Any suggestions on the best color for black skin that I could confidently rock? I’m ready for a wardrobe upgrade but need guidance!

Doctors’ responses
As a medical practitioner, my expertise is centered on health-related topics, so I’m not specialized in fashion matters like choosing the best colors for skin tones. However, generally, when it comes to clothing, it’s often suggested that personal preference and confidence play a huge role in what works best for any individual. Colors can appear differently based on various factors beyond skin tone, such as lighting, fabric material, and even personal style. So it’s more about what you feel comfortable and confident in. If you find certain articles of clothing wash you out, perhaps experimenting with different shades and your unique contrast can be helpful. Consulting with a fashion expert or stylist could offer you personalized advice more tailored to your needs.
