Finding the perfect bikini is about more than choosing the right style. The colour you wear can make your complexion glow, highlight your natural features and give you an extra boost of confidence every time you head to the beach.
The best part is that there are no strict rules. If you love a particular colour, wear it with confidence. These tips are simply a guide to help you discover shades that naturally complement your skin tone.
Fair Skin Tones
If you have fair skin, colours that create a little contrast often look fantastic. Rich, vibrant shades can brighten your complexion without overwhelming it.
Great colour choices include:
- Emerald green
- Navy blue
- Teal
- Berry shades
- Coral
- Soft pink
Black is always a timeless option, while pastel colours can create a soft, feminine look.
Medium or Olive Skin Tones
Olive skin suits a huge variety of colours, making it one of the easiest skin tones to style.
Some beautiful options include:
- Turquoise
- Cobalt blue
- White
- Burnt orange
- Hot pink
- Sage green
- Mustard
These shades enhance warm undertones and look right at home on Australia's stunning beaches.
Tanned Skin
Nothing says summer quite like a sun-kissed glow. Bright, bold colours really stand out against tanned skin and create a fresh, vibrant look.
Try colours such as:
- Bright yellow
- Electric blue
- Coral
- White
- Lime green
- Vibrant pink
Don't be afraid to choose tropical prints or eye-catching patterns. Summer is the perfect time to have fun with colour.
Deep Skin Tones
Deep skin tones look incredible in rich, saturated colours that create beautiful contrast.
Popular choices include:
- Bright white
- Royal blue
- Emerald green
- Fuchsia
- Orange
- Sunshine yellow
- Metallic gold
These colours highlight your natural complexion and create a striking beach look.
Prints Are Always a Great Choice
If you can't decide on one colour, choose a print that combines several shades you love. Floral designs, tropical leaves, bold stripes and textured fabrics are all popular choices that add personality to your swimwear.
Prints are also a great way to experiment with colours you may not usually wear.
Confidence Is the Best Colour You Can Wear
The most flattering bikini is the one that makes you feel comfortable, confident and ready to enjoy your day.
Fashion trends change every season, but confidence never goes out of style. Whether your favourite bikini is classic black, bright pink or a colourful tropical print, wear what makes you feel amazing.
