Mustard is one of this year's hottest fall colors, popping up on everything from dresses to winter coats, and pants. But the color's strong brown undertones can make it a hard color to wear. I know a lot of women shy away from wearing this color for fear of looking washed out. But fret not - here are three easy tips to help you rock this color for fall!
Make your makeup pop - mustard yellow is a toned down hue, so go bold with your makeup when wearing this color. An easy way to glam it up is with a bold red lip and well defined eyes. Bold is especially important for those with paler skin tones, as the makeup will counteract any washing out effect the color may have on your skin tone.
Accessorize - accessories can make or break an outfit, especially with a hard to wear color like mustard yellow. When wearing this color go for a chunky 'statement' necklace, and/or chunky bracelets in gold, not silver, as gold plays up the brown undertones of the color. Accessories are also a great way of wearing mustard when you don't want to wear it head to toe. Try adding a mustard scarf or shoe with mustard detail to add a pop of color.
Coordinate your colors - as I've already mentioned, this can be a difficult color to wear. Since the color has a bit of a muted, brown undertone, pair it with colors that also have brown undertones, like purple or orange. When in doubt, make sure to check out a color wheel for colors that are complementary to mustard yellow.
