The phrase "powdery color" has recently become a popular word among fashionistas, but not everyone understands what it means. When talking about powder, experienced designers mean a spectrum of delicate shades from ivory to coffee with milk. The beautiful powder color in clothes, as in the photo, allows you to create fashionable, stylish looks for both young girls and older women.
What color is this and who does it suit?
Tenderness, conciseness, kindness – all this can be said when describing the depth of powder color. It is associated with tender feelings, feelings of lightness and carelessness.
The variety of shades of powder color in clothes is quite wide, but they all belong to the beige range. For example, the ivory color is also a powdery color group. It should also be noted that quite recently some muted shades of lilac, gray and blue have also been included in it.
It is extremely important to be able to choose the right shade of powder. Who suits this tone in clothes? Let's turn to fashion experts for advice.
| Powder shade | Who is it suitable for? |
| Cool shades of powdery flowers | For fair-haired girls with fair skin and grey-blue eyes |
| Nude, shades of beige | Brunettes with dark skin and brown eyes |
| Shades of pink | Light tones - for ladies with light hair and white skin, gray and "sprayed" - for brown-haired and brunette women |
For girls with a contrasting appearance, who belong to the "winter" color type, it is worth choosing clothes of a powder shade in combination with bright accents. These can be large earrings, a flashy necklace, noticeable makeup. Such a design technique will allow you to preserve the natural brightness of colors.

What to combine with in your wardrobe
Powder can be used for an office look, a romantic dinner, or a casual option. What to combine powdery tone with? Designers advise the following:
- any of the powder shades goes well with white;
- noble black color also combines well with delicate powder shades. However, such a tandem may look too simple, so it requires addition in the form of eye-catching accessories (for example, gold or silver);
- a bright variant from the same color range will suit the powder color. For example, you can complement powder pink with a brighter pink color. The photo below shows this combination in clothes;
- famous stylists do not recommend using powder color to create a monochrome look. Such outfits look rather pale, inexpressive without a bright accent. Therefore, when choosing a dress of this color, be sure to choose bright shoes to match it.
Another great option is to combine powder tones with denim shades (from light to deep blue). This is an ultra-fashionable trend suitable for active people who are ready to move away from the ordinary and usual patterns in clothing.
How to create an image
Thanks to the use of powder shades in clothing, designers create a huge variety of interesting images: from romantic to daring. Let's describe some of the most popular options:
- an evening look in powder color will be stunning if you choose a delicate dress in combination with bright pumps;
- the business image will be softer if you replace the strict white blouse with a pinkish or beige model. It is combined with a brown skirt or trousers, which will preserve the strictness of the business style, but at the same time hint at a romantic nature. A powder-colored pencil skirt goes well with a snow-white blouse, which looks very elegant and solemn. On Friday, you can choose a more relaxed look with a powder-blue blouse with frills, as well as dark blue trousers with a high waist;
- For a casual look, classic blue jeans complemented by a powder-colored sweater, cardigan or jacket are suitable.
