Val's View: Why Turquoise & Coral Resort Wear are Universally Flattering (2024)

Let’s be honest: We all want to look our best on vacation. Finding resort wear for women over 50 can sometimes feel daunting, but the truth is, there are dozens of styles and colors that can flatter your figure no matter your age.

Regardless of where you’re traveling, you want to plan outfit combinations that make you look good and feel good as you bask in your vacation glow. The good news is, turquoise and coral make universally flattering resort wear, and can have a big impact on your confidence on vacation!

Let’s take a closer look at coral and turquoise resort wear and how these specific color combinations can look great on everybody.

If you were to come to my house and fling open the door to my closet, you’d find a sea of turquoise and an expanse of coral. Regardkess of the garment, every piece of resort wear I don in these colors makes my eyes pop, my hair shine, and my skin glow.

And it’s not just my opinion. There's a science behind color, and it applies to all of us. Try a test for yourself:

Hold a piece of silver jewelry up to your face and study the result. Next, hold a piece of gold jewelry up to your face. Now compare the two. Which color makes your skin look more alive and vibrant?

People with cool undertones in their skin usually look better in cool jewel tones – this means that they look better in silver, pale corals, and pale turquoise. Individuals with warm undertones, on the other hand, come to life next to gold, deeper turquoise, and richer coral, as well as stones set in gold.

Turquoise is a bit of a chameleon, as it can be both cool or warm, depending on the depth of color. Because turquoise is a combination of blue (a cool tone) and yellow (a warm tone), it looks good on everyone, no matter their skin tone. The same is true for coral.
