Shop Bold Print Activewear by Colour →
Every bold print looks different on every skin tone — and understanding which colours and contrasts work best with your specific undertone can help you choose prints that make your skin glow rather than wash you out.
That said: there is no bold print that is “wrong” for any skin tone. This guide is about maximising impact, not about rules or restrictions.
Understanding Undertones
- Warm undertones — Golden, peachy, or yellow base. Veins appear greenish. Gold jewellery tends to suit you.
- Cool undertones — Pink, red, or bluish base. Veins appear bluish-purple. Silver jewellery tends to suit you.
- Neutral undertones — A mix of warm and cool. Both gold and silver jewellery suit you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my skin undertone?
Check the veins on your inner wrist in natural light. Greenish veins suggest warm undertones; bluish-purple veins suggest cool undertones; a mix suggests neutral undertones.
Are there bold prints that don’t suit any skin tone?
No. Every bold print can work on every skin tone. Multicolour prints are the most universally flattering because they contain both warm and cool tones simultaneously.
What bold prints are best for deep skin tones?
Deep skin tones are the most versatile canvas for bold prints. Neon and electric tones are extraordinary against deep warm skin; deep teals, purples, and rich blues are stunning against deep cool skin.
