Mauve color clothing and makeup look perfect with almost anything we wear. This color is a rich shade in between the colors pink and purple, but a more neutral version of these two. Mauve is also considered a royal color and is why so many people choose it as their dress color for special events like weddings, due to its romantic shade. Aside from its amazing qualities, it is a hard color to style and many people do not know how to rock the colors.
Do not worry as we outline a mauve color styling guide and how to pair it for this summer.
Pair Mauve With Rich Tones

When styling the color mauve it is best to style this color with many rich tones. Due to its neutral color, it is best to wear rich colors like deep purples and burgundies. The reason for this is because it will give your outfit a more luxurious feel and help you look more elegant when rocking your look. Wear a mauve top with a Burgundy or maroon blazer over it or pants.
Style With Chic Tailored Pieces
Another way to style mauve is by wearing it with the right tailored pieces. This is the perfect time to wear the color for work by styling it with a tailored suit for a professional look. Also, by wearing it with this you will look very fashionable and be the best dressed in the office for sure. Go ahead and get yourself a mauve tailored suit.
Mauve Looks Best With Dresses
Aside from professional attire, another piece looks amazing to wear in this color dress. Many women choose mauve as their go-to color for their wedding because it’s super romantic looking and looks great on everyone. When wearing mauve style it with a maxi dress or an all lace dress that will make the color stand out on your skin and body when walking in it.
Wear It With Top Quality Fabrics

So many colors have specific fabrics that go with them and so many fabrics that look terrible together. With mauve, you have to be careful which fabrics you’re wearing it with because the color might not go with it. Two fabrics that look great on Mauve are silk and satin, these soft fabrics make the material look elegant. If you notice a lot of pink and purple tops that come in these fabrics look amazing on.
So make sure to style this color with silk or satin!
Mix Neutral Colors with Mauve

The color mauve when styling it also looks right with natural colors like black, white, and beige. A way to style it is by wearing a mauve-colored top with black pants and black jewelry. Another way to style it is by wearing nude-colored jewelry with the mauve because it accentuates the pink/purple shade and helps it pop out a bit more. Lastly, by wearing neutral tones you are helping tone down the look instead of wearing too many shades with the mauve.
Mauve and Complimentary Accessories
Like I mentioned above there are certain types of jewelry that look good with the mauve color. Aside from nude colors, you can also wear mauve with almost any type of jewelry. Style your mauve look with silver jewelry, like nice silver hoops or some bracelets that will look perfect next to the mauve-shaded outfit you have on. You can also wear pink jewelry too in a darker shade than mauve if you want to have that pinkish color scheme.
Makeup Tips

Lastly, wearing mauve makeup will look good on anything you wear because mauve is a bit of a neutral pink. This color lipstick or eyeshadow will help tone down your face if you’re wearing a very dark or colorful outfit. Also, when wearing a mauve outfit you can wear pink, nudes, gold, or peach-colored makeup too.
What To Avoid When Wearing Mauve Colors

Just like wearing other colors, there are rules and certain things to avoid when wearing certain colored clothing. Women in general sometimes all make certain fashion mistakes and that’s totally okay! Something to look out for when wearing mauve is to not overdo it, don’t wear a mauve shirt, sweater, and pants together, instead layer different shades that go with the color.
Also, avoid wearing heavy colored accessories with it, just like we mentioned before stick to nude colored and toned down accessories to make the color pop.
