OUTFIT COLOURS TO BOOST YOUR TAN
By Style Feed Staff, 4 July 2024
You’ve slathered on the SPF, stayed sensibly hydrated and ensured your after-sun care is tip top... Now look at you – glowing with a safely earned sun-kissed hue. Good thing we've selected the very best colours to make the most of it then! Keep scrolling for the best tan-boosting tones to add to your summer wardrobe.
#1 CITRUS BRIGHTS
You might have immediately thought 'white' is the perfect tan combo. And yes, that colour is on the list, but a zestier option is the perfect way to show your glow AND get your look well and truly noticed. The tangerine dream above is about as bold as it gets and look at what we have underneath? An accompanying white vest. We knew we wouldn't get too far into this without referencing everyones go-to hue.

#2 FROSTY WHITE
White's a no-brainer – it'll create maximum contrast to give the illusion of a deeper tan. While all-white can work well, why not mix it up with a pair of trousers in a warming sunset shade? They don't have to be as out-there as the ones above, but honestly, it's a certified look.

#3 BLUE HUES
There's science behind our logic: almost all blues will make a tan look darker, but it's the shades on the blue-green/turquoise spectrum that have maximum impact. Of course, knitwear isn't ideal for showing off your tan, but the flex lies in teaming your jumper or jacket with short shorts. It's a pub-garden winner waiting to happen.

#4 CORAL PINK
Bring out the rosier tones in your tan with beachy coral pink. We love this relaxed summer shirt with neutral trousers and sneakers – it ensures all eyes are on the hero piece and its accompanying complexion.
