Guide

Cool-leaning shades like navy, icy blue, lavender, rose, and cool charcoal usually flatter blonde hair and blue eyes best.

Black hair pairs well with high-contrast jewel tones, crisp neutrals, and shades that match your undertone for clothes, makeup, and accessories.

To answer “what colour suits?”, match your undertone to colour families and balance outfit contrast with your hair and eyes.

For a brown skin tone, jewel tones, warm earths, crisp white, and rich neutrals flatter; pick shades that match your undertone.

A burgundy dress pairs best with charcoal, navy, black, mid-grey, or deep green suits; choose matte fabrics and warm-toned accessories.

In the U.S., a dark suit—black first, then charcoal or navy—is the safest funeral choice; pair with a white shirt and muted tie.

For what colour suits brown, reach for cream, white, navy, denim blue, forest green, soft pink, and burgundy; match light browns with light tones.

For suit colours, navy and charcoal fit most settings; black suits evening/formal; medium grey, brown, and tan work for casual codes and warm seasons.

Choose socks that match your trousers for polish, or pick a near-neutral that echoes your loafers; no-shows keep loafers fresh when you want bare ankles.

Dark navy suits pair well with brown, oxblood, burgundy, and black leather shoes, with mid-brown often the most versatile choice.
