Just like our Blonde Bombshells post a few weeks ago stated, some colors can really bring out a Redhead’s beauty while others can really diminish it. Do you know what your best colors are, and which you should really avoid? Well, we’ve made it easy for you to find out!

Scroll down and you’ll find a number of different hues based on our research of hair-clothing color complementing. You should definitely keep these tips in mind when prepping for prom or your next formal event!

Remember to finish our article, because some of the colors redheads should (almost) never wear are listed at the end!

All Shades: Always-Flattering Greens

All redheads should be able to pull off multiple hues of green, from frosty meadow to vibrant emerald. Greens will make your hair pop and your eyes glisten, too!

Fiery/Copper Shades: Warm Pastels

Girls with dark shades of red, including true red, should opt for warm pastels to complement their hair and – more than likely – their skin tone. Try one of the three following color groups for maximum vibrance!

Strawberry/Auburn Shades: Jewel Tones

Lighter-red shades, like strawberry blondes or brown-based auburns, are best complemented by jewel tones. Royal is our personal fave, but any of the following color groups will surely help you make a statement at any formal event, or even in everyday wear!

Steer Clear

Try to avoid these hues as much as possible, especially at special occasions!
