Womens bamboo top colours that mix easily

Short answer: The colours that mix most easily in a womens bamboo top are the calm, neutral ones such as white, black, grey, sand and navy. Pick two or three base colours that suit the rest of your clothes, and add a single accent if you want more life.

Start with your own clothes

Before you choose a colour, look at what is already in your wardrobe, because that is what a womens bamboo top has to go with. If you mostly wear dark trousers, light tops are an easy contrast, and the other way round. A top that suits many things gets worn more often than one that only suits one.

Neutral colours that always work

White, black, grey and sand are rarely wrong, because they sit behind the rest of the outfit instead of competing with it. They are easy to combine and suit many seasons. A top in a neutral colour is a safe choice if you are unsure.

How to choose colours in a womens bamboo top

When you look at bamboo tops for women, choose the base colours first and look at shades afterwards. Hold the colour up to your face in daylight and see whether it suits you. Think about whether the top will be worn alone or as a layer under other clothes.

Skin tone and colour

Some colours feel nicer against your skin tone than others, and that is a personal matter. Look at yourself in the mirror and choose the ones you feel at ease in. No rule fits everyone, so trust your own eye and what you tend to choose.

Patterns and plain tops

Plain tops are easier to combine than patterned ones, because they do not compete with trousers, knitwear or scarves. If you want a pattern, let it be the only one in the outfit. A calm top gives more room to the other pieces you wear.

Light colours and what shows through

Light tops can show what lies underneath, so think about the colour of your underwear. A skin tone or light shade gives fewer shadows than a dark one. Stand in daylight with the top on before you decide whether it works with what you wear under it.

How to keep colours looking good

Wash dark and light tops separately, especially the first few times when colour can bleed. Use a gentle cycle at a low temperature and turn the top inside out. Let it air dry away from direct sun, which can fade colours over time.

A small colour palette for everyday

Choose three tops in colours that go together and add bamboo knickers in a neutral shade. Add a pair of socks for women in a colour that matches at least two of your tops. That gives you a simple palette for many combinations.
