2. Customizing Undertones, Shades & Proportions
Welcome to Part 2 of my breakdown on 23 Chic Fall Work Outfits & Business Casual Outfits for Autumn.
Before you lock in your final formula or outfit pairing, here is how I adapt the tones and textures for each client.
Pin Look
Finding Your Most Flattering Version
For fair, cool undertones, swap the camel for a taupe or greige blazer and keep your lip in a rosy nude.
It keeps the warmth from washing you out.
If you’re deeper with golden undertones, lean into rich rust or burnt sienna and add a glossy neutral eye to mirror the fabric’s depth.
Texture matters as much as color: a ribbed knit turtleneck under a blazer adds dimension.
While a silk shell keeps things sleek.
I always tell clients to pick one texture as the hero.
Too many competing fabrics can make a sharp outfit feel busy.
✦ Which Finish Fits Your Vibe?
- Velvet Rose-Gold Glow: Effortless, soft-focus dimension that flatters every skin tone in daytime or candlelight.
- High-Impact Statement Finish: Crisp lines, rich pigment payoff, and bold contrast for evening events or street-style photos.
- Balanced Proportions: Keep one feature bold while letting the surrounding textures stay airy and breathable.
