Swimwear for a neutral skin tone

Which bikini suits a neutral skin tone? Your guide to the perfect match

Do you have skin that doesn't look distinctly cool or warm, but falls somewhere in the middle? Chances are you have a neutral skin tone - and that means you are in luck. Because when it comes to swimwear, your skin type can go a long way.

How to recognize a neutral skin tone

Not sure if you have a cool or warm undertone? Then take a look at your veins. Are they sometimes blue, sometimes green? Do both gold and silver look good on you? And in the sun, are you more likely to change to a light tan without burning easily? Then you probably have a neutral undertone.

Your colors: balance is key

With neutral skin you can wear both cool and warm colors - as long as they are not too pronounced. Whatever looks best on you:

• Taupe, sand and beige

• Soft red and rose tones 

• Deep blue tones

These colors provide a natural glow and make your look subtly powerful. They enhance your complexion without overdoing it.

What are you better off avoiding?

Extreme neon colors or bright shades with distinct cool or warm undertones can sometimes be too intense for neutral skin. Rather, choose balanced colors that follow your middle ground.
