Which color to choose according to your complexion?

Choosing a garment or a lingerie set is quite an adventure: you have to find the cut that suits your body shape, with the perfect pattern and the color that matches your skin tone.

But what color should you choose based on your skin tone? Today we are going to help you in this quest.

Fair skin

If you have light, pale skin that doesn't tan easily, we recommend opting for sky or denim blues, khaki or emerald greens, or even burgundy or plum. You can also choose more versatile colors like brown or khaki, which work every time. These colors brighten and boost even the lightest complexions .

In our lingerie wardrobe, we particularly recommend the khaki green Perito set . This color will enhance your skin, no matter your hair color! For ready-to-wear, we recommend the brown Morgane crochet top or the plum Chloé skirt to wear on vacation or in town with a pretty white t-shirt.

Matte skin

If you have tanned or even matte skin, you're spoiled for choice ! Almost every color will complement your skin tone perfectly. Go wild: opt for original prints or playful textures!

To further warm up your complexion, we recommend opting for warm tones like terracotta and other shades of orangey pink. You can also dare to opt for lighter colors, which, by contrast, will brighten your complexion.

Our lingerie selection just for you: the embroidered Cosmos set. It will perfectly highlight your complexion.

For your wardrobe, we recommend the terracotta-colored Inès dress with its subtle neckline, or the Lucile et Mathilde striped set , perfect for a city break. For a more dressy look, the Charlotte floral set will be perfect for brightening up your summer wardrobe.

black skins

If you have dark skin, opt for maximum contrast ! Favor light, fresh shades such as cream, powder pink, and of course, white. They will enhance your complexion in both summer and winter. Also, dare to use brighter colors like red or orange, which will contrast perfectly with your skin. A guaranteed wow effect!

We are confident that our orange Palmi lingerie sets will fit you like a glove!

In our wardrobe, we recommend the ecru Morgane top and the Camille pants , one of our favorites at Nénés! For a casual look, the Emilie set will be perfect! And for a summer evening, opt for the ultra-feminine Laura dress .

All skins

As you can see, each skin tone is enhanced by several tones. But at Nénés, we know that certain colors match all skin tones.

For both lingerie and ready-to-wear, we are committed to satisfying all our customers and offer several colors that adapt to each skin type: the timeless blacks and khaki greens.


Whatever your skin tone, our blue-black Judée set is a sure bet! For ready-to-wear, you can opt for the ultra-comfortable khaki Manta pants ! For a more feminine look, the Inès dress with a yellow and green floral print is perfect for the return of sunny days.
