Dressing For Gray Hair
Okay, so you've committed to loving your gray, let it grow out the right way, and you're using the proper shampoos and conditioners to brighten and whiten your hair so it's practically luminescent! Now it's time to dress to impress!
There are very few colors that don't work with gray hair. Earth tones like olive or beige may wash you out a bit, and the yellow undertones in ivory or cream could bring out the yellow in your hair and make it look dull. But we subscribe to the never-say-never school of thought when it comes to fashion, so if you find a yellow sweater you love we say wear it!
However, there are colors that always help make gray hair even more striking. Let's take a look...
BLACK
The contrast between black clothing and white hair always makes a dramatic statement. Wear black when you want to be taken seriously, like Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada" or José Mourinho managing Manchester United.
GRAY
Gray-on-Gray is ALWAYS a winning combination!
There's nothing like seeing a silver fox in a cozy gray sweater.
When in doubt, go gray!
JEWEL TONES
Dazzling jewel tones provide a wonderful compliment for gray hair in any shade.
When you want to stand out, wear a bright and bold jewel tone such as Ruby, Turquoise, Jade, Amethyst, Emerald Green, Cobalt, or Citrine.
Wear a jewel tone when you're feeling flirty, fresh and want to draw attention.
BLUE
There's nothing like a soft blue color to bring out the cool tones in your hair. A denim shirt says you're comfortable with who you are, and that you love your gray!
BOLD COLORS
Daring to wear a bright color says you may be gray, but you're still not afraid to make a big statement. As the pigment drains from your hair follicles, adding color into your wardrobe is a brilliant idea. Pinks, greens and purples are great, and a bright red may be the most flattering color of all with gray hair. So be interesting, and go bold!
WHITE
A crisp white shirt is a absolute necessity for any Gorgeous Gray to have in their closet. It's an easy everyday look that is timeless and always looks classy.
