nicePeople, who here often reads about "hijab colors suitable for tan skin" but ends up even more confused? The thing is, the results often don't look quite right when you try them yourself.
It turns out there's a reason for that. Tan skin (sawo matang) isn't just one uniform skin tone. Beneath it are different undertones, and these undertones are actually the key to making the hijab you wear make your face look glowing, rather than dull.
The easiest way to check your own undertone at home is to look at the veins on your wrist under sunlight. If they tend to be greenish, you are warm-toned. If they are bluish or purplish, you are cool-toned. If it's hard to distinguish between green and blue, you are most likely neutral. Let's get to know these 3 types of tan skin further so you won't choose the wrong hijab color again!
1. Medium Tan - Warm Golden
The characteristics are: your veins tend to be greenish, your skin easily looks "radiant" or golden when exposed to sunlight, and you usually look better in gold accessories than silver. If this is you, then you fall into the medium tan category with a warm golden undertone.
Hijab color recommendations: Rattan, Tiger's Eye, Praline, Macaroon, and Chicory Coffee.
These earthy and warm colors blend perfectly with your undertone, making your face look more glowing without any extra effort.
For this type, try checking out the Plain Tassel from napocut. This premium plain square Paris hijab is lightweight, lustrous, and holds its shape perfectly, so it stays neat even in strong winds all day. Its uniqueness lies in the detail of 3 beautiful tassels on 3 corners of the hijab that drape gracefully when worn, giving a sweet, stylish touch without being excessive.

2. Tan - Neutral Warm
The characteristics are: your veins are somewhat hard to distinguish between green and blue, your skin still has a warm impression but is not as golden as the first type, and you are equally comfortable wearing gold or silver accessories. If this is you, then you fall into the tan category with a neutral warm undertone, the perfect blend of warm and neutral.
Hijab color recommendations: Sepia Rose, Praline, Macaroon, Chicory Coffee, and Rattan.
This combination of dusty and earthy colors balances your undertone, so your face still looks fresh without being overly striking.

3. Deep Tan - Neutral Cool
The characteristics are: your veins tend to be bluish or purplish, your skin color is deeper, and you usually look better in silver accessories than gold. If this is you, you fall into the deep tan category with a neutral to cool undertone.
For this type, warm colors can actually make your face look less vibrant. What is more suitable are deep colors with high contrast.
Hijab color recommendations: Deep Dive, Ocean Cavern, Potent Purple, Plum Truffle, and Dusty Blue.
