Don’t be surprised ladies! A red and pink combo looks great on Indian skin tones when chosen in the right shades. Choose from hot pinks and brightest shades of reds and pair it with golden accessories. In case you don’t wanna go that bold, you can try pairing pastel pink and subtle reds (with hints of orange). You’ll look like a total patakha!
Who thought blues and greens could complement each other so well? But thanks to Anushka Sharma’s ‘base’ gig in Sultan, we now know how pretty these two colours can look together on Indian skin. Keep them bright so that both colours can stand out separately.

Take cues from Deepika on how to mix and match in the same colour family, like a boss. We love how she has has paired up her pastel blue blouse with navy blue pants.

You can sport the combination too, with mustard coloured pants or skirts with maroon tops or vice versa.
