Jewel Tones

There is something about these rich and saturated fall colors that make them very luxurious and distinct.  Case in point: this beautifully paired sapphire blue and burnt orange stripes Zaful side-slit palazzo pants.  While I used to stay away from dark colors, always preferring light earth tones and the perennial favorite white, rich blues have been my go-to color for occasions requiring me to wear anything dark.  

Unbeknown to most of us, jewel tones are a family of colors that look good on everyone.  Whether you're fair, olive, medium or dark skinned, there is always that one jewel hue that will compliment your skin tone.  

From sapphire blue, to emerald green, to ruby red and amethyst, jewel tones has the ability to make you look regal, glowing and sophistiqué.  You can opt to wear jewel tones piece by piece or go big and bold by wearing a whole new look in jewel tones for maximum impact.  

If you're not ready to experiment, always remember to stick to clothing styles that are clean and uncomplicated so as not to make the whole outfit look busy and incohesive.

Complimented the whole look with my red orange bag and black slides to neutralise the bold colors.  For this royal blue look, you may opt to skip your accessories/jewelries like what I did here or go gold in chic minimalist designs.  Either way, you are sure to fire up this already regal palette.
