Choosing the perfect color for your skin tone can at times be such a drag. We pretty much tend to go for color options that may not be the best but make us feel comfortable, and I think it’s safe to say, everyone has at least one color that makes up for 80% of their closet space. For me, that color is black, only because it's so easy and requires less thought, but what can I say, I'm a basic a-- lady (sometimes). Now I'm sure you're thinking, well, what's the point? If you're being basic then I can just continue being basic too! Nah sis (or... guy), after reading this blog, you would have mentally graduated and your “basic” privileges would be revoked . I'm here to help expand your horizons a little bit and bring to you some color matching knowledge.

On the topic of sportswear, when it comes to selecting the right workout clothes, choosing the perfect color can be just as important as the fabric and style. Ladies, imagine wearing the most popular, yet uncomfortable, chafe inducing gym shorts that roll up every time you do a squat. Yeah, now, pair those terrible shorts with your favorite blindingly bright magenta top because no one ever mentioned to you how awful that color was.

Fellas, imagine the same concept except, you have on a plain white, puke green, faded black, or boring beige colored top, the ones that everyone seems to be wearing now, coupled with your designated gym crew socks and loose basketball shorts, black or white of course, because... what...what other color would go with it?

I'm hyperbolizing, but you get my point. Have no fear, if you have cool undertones, this article was written just for you.
