5 colors that may be less flattering for some people after 50
Beige that closely matches your skin tone may make your outfit look less defined. Try camel, warm ivory, or richer caramel instead.
Some light grays can look dull against certain complexions. Try charcoal, silver, or a more textured gray.
This intense shade can overpower a softer color palette. Try olive, sage, or emerald green.
If it blends into your complexion, it may offer little contrast. Try rose, raspberry, or a richer blush.
Certain brown shades can look flat next to some skin tones. Try chocolate, rust, burgundy, or warm chestnut.

The best tip: Hold a garment near your face in natural daylight. Choose shades that make your skin look fresh and your eyes look bright. Age alone does not determine which colors suit you.
