Every woman loves to embellish her appearance. A manicure always emphasizes a lady's well-groomed appearance and elevates her status. The main rule for manicure: it must match the style of the event for which it is being selected. In this article we will determine which manicure will suit a turquoise dress, what colors can be diluted with it, and which ones absolutely cannot be used. The selected shades should be combined with the young lady’s clothing style. The exception is the classic look, it goes with everything.
About shades
Turquoise color is obtained by mixing blue and green. This mix gave rise to a very rich range of shades, which are divided into six groups:
- Pale or light turquoise. It is light, like a haze, clean and soft. Looks especially impressive in bright light, in the rays of sunlight. However, stylists advise using it in small quantities.
- Turquoise blue is the brightest shade of the range. Lively, dynamic and very expressive. Therefore, it is recommended to use it as an accent. For example, choose bright turquoise shoes with a more “calm” suit or dress.
- Bright turquoise. Despite the name, this shade, unlike the previous one, is not as blinding. It is rich, but does not cause eye fatigue or irritation.
- Classic turquoise. This is the color of natural turquoise. It has not only blue, but also yellow undertones. The color gives peace and a feeling of coolness. It looks especially impressive on dark and tanned skin. By the way, this is already part of the answer to the question of what goes with the turquoise color in clothes. Shades of brown will complement it perfectly.
- Turquoise Medium. The shade is rich and at the same time calm. It is in it that the blue undertone is most pronounced. Depending on the lighting, it “plays” with different edges. In bright sun it tends to turn blue, and in low light it resembles a sea green hue.
- Dark turquoise is a shade that conceals the freshness and coolness of the ocean, the deepest in the palette we have indicated. It can be used without restrictions when creating a wardrobe; it performs exceptionally well in contrasting combinations.
Next, we will tell you about the most profitable and original combinations of turquoise with other colors. You should start with the classic companions to all colors - black and white.
Advantageous combinations
Turquoise outfits look great on their own, but you can dress them up in an even more favorable light if you create a complete and thoughtful look. To do this, you need to learn how to combine the main item of clothing with jewelry, shoes, other clothes, hair and makeup.
Accessories
The most common accessory for a turquoise dress is a thin strap. It can be white, beige, dark brown.
IMPORTANT! It is better to choose a strap for your outfit to match your shoes, bag or jacket.
Not all dress models need a belt. For example, loose, flowing styles can work just fine without them. But with a sheath or noodle dress, the strap will look very harmonious.
Beautiful large jewelry in an ethnic style will go well with a turquoise summer outfit: wide bracelets with artificial stones, colored pearls to match the dress, long beads in one row and miniature chains with pendants. Moreover, the latter are best used with an outfit with a V-shaped neckline, and bouzas and necklaces with a round or square neckline.
REFERENCE! If the dress has a narrow collar, like a turtleneck, or fits tightly around the neck, it is better not to wear jewelry around the neck.
A turquoise outfit with bright yellow plastic beads, stud earrings or voluminous bracelets looks very original.
The handbag deserves special attention. A small clutch, matched to match, or white, brown, black options will look great with a short or long elegant dress.
For the summer, a small cross-body bag on a long strap or chain will go well with a simple short dress. It is better to choose it to match the dress or shoes.
A long, loose dress can also look good with large, shapeless bags, such as a brown one with fringe.
For an everyday summer look, you can choose a small backpack.
Shoes
Festive formal short dresses with a full skirt can be worn with elegant stiletto heels or small platform sandals. If the outfit is made of light flowing fabric (for example, chiffon), be sure to wear simple pumps or sandals with thin heels, which should be lighter than the dress.
With simple business or summer straight outfits, sheath dresses, noodle dresses, and some versions of bandeau dresses, you can wear open flat sandals, moccasins, slip-ons, and sneakers.
Dresses in boho style, long dresses for the summer season in ethnic style will also look good with Cossack boots.
Turquoise and white
The classic combination of white and turquoise colors can most often be found in summer sets. This duet looks especially advantageous on the beach, at a seaside resort. White color sets off turquoise, making it more saturated and bright, attracting attention. Stylists are of the opinion that such an ensemble will look most advantageous on women of the winter color type. A white blouse is a great option to wear with a turquoise skirt or trousers to the office.
Pay attention to the photo; images with a balance of white and turquoise look most impressive. However, depending on the shade of the latter, it can act as a bright accent (spectacular beads in ethnic style, patent leather turquoise shoes, etc.).
The Importance of Nail Design
When choosing a manicure for a particular dress, it would be wrong to focus only on its color. Of particular importance is the style of the dress and the event for which it is intended. If the occasion for which you had to wear a turquoise dress is of a strict nature, for example, a business evening, then the design should be restrained, but if a dress of this color is intended for going to the beach, then you can cover your nails with “flashy” colors.
It is especially important that your nails are neat and aesthetically beautiful. People around you pay attention to how the manicure is done, so before an important meeting it is better to entrust the care of covering your nails to a specialized master.
Turquoise and black
At first glance, this combination may not seem the most successful. In this case, it is important to decide on the shade and proportions of the set so that it does not become too gloomy. Then the turquoise color will dilute the conservatism and severity of black. If desired, you can add a third color - white. This option answers the question of what goes with turquoise in office clothes. The most optimal time for such an alliance is the cool season.
Shine
It is probably difficult to imagine a color that does not match the shine of gold or silver. Sequins can be either plain or mixed. For turquoise nail designs, it is better to use plain ones so that the combination does not look cheap and ridiculous. Also, do not forget that the use of sparkles is acceptable if there is the same accent in clothing or an accessory (in a belt, earrings, bracelet). Shiny inserts are not so easy to find in an everyday look, so it is better to set off the golden glitter on the nails with a brown bag, and the reflections of silver combine perfectly with gray, light mint and steel details of the outfit.
Turquoise and beige
The combination of turquoise and beige colors is dictated by nature itself. To be convinced of this, just look at the sea waves and sandy beach. The milky or beige shade is softer than white. It shows itself best in the spring color type. In contrast to the cold boiling white, beige is a warm color and it reduces the level of freshness and “coolness” of the turquoise hue.
In the photo above: a white blouse, a turquoise jacket, combined with sand-colored trousers and a bag.
Turquoise and red
The combination is controversial and provocative, but effective when done correctly. Firstly, you should avoid equal color proportions when “assembling” an image. Stylists recommend making one of the colors dominant and the second additional, or adding white for balance. Secondly, you should be careful with bright and saturated variations of red. It is best to give preference to coral and tomato shades.
This color combination became popular in the 50s of the last century. Try using it to create retro looks.
Create an unforgettable look with accessories
A dress in the color of a sea breeze can be both festive and casual. For each occasion you need to select appropriate jewelry and accessories. Competent additions will create an unforgettable image.
The shade of turquoise can be safely combined with leopard print. This image will look both bright and predatory. But this bold outfit is appropriate for an evening out.
Black accessories will create an elegant look. They can be diversified using textures. For example, a patent leather clutch, a velvet strap, a lace cape, satin shoes.
Turquoise and yellow
This is one of the brightest and most vibrant combinations of turquoise with other colors. This set will certainly add positivity to your image and make you stand out from the crowd. Yellow softens the pronounced coolness of the turquoise hue and complements it with warm colors. Pay attention to the photo, the image carries a charge of energy and cheerfulness.
At the same time, the combination is difficult, since it is not always possible to choose the right shade of yellow. Women with bright appearance should give preference to rich tones, and fair-haired women, on the contrary, should prefer pastel, light ones. In the first case it can be canary yellow, in the second it can be pale lemon.
Turquoise ombre with rhinestones
The ombre technique is a combination of several shades of varnish, smoothly transitioning into one another. A fashionable manicure looks much more interesting on long nails, since the length allows you to mix more than two shades of varnish. On short nails, turquoise ombre also looks quite beautiful, but you should still choose light tones of this varnish. To make the turquoise coating sparkle with new colors, add some sparkles, rhinestones, decorate your nails with foil or attach a small amount of Pixie crystals.
Turquoise and blue
Colors are related in nature. This is the reason for their harmonious combination with each other. The blue color enhances the “cool” effect of turquoise. Ensembles made in this range are bright and fresh. The most effective contrast is observed when turquoise is complemented with the brightest shade of blue - ultramarine. This technique adds aristocracy and nobility to the image.
Rubbing
The trend of recent seasons is rubbing, its use will look decent both on top of turquoise nails and against the background of another varnish. The rub also has its own shades; you can use both turquoise and contrasting tones. For example, paint all your nails beige, and use pigment on top (rubbed in) - you will get an excellent version of a business-style manicure. You can also cover your nails with turquoise varnish and rub them with a rub with a pink or yellow tint on top - this manicure will look bright and festive.
Turquoise and brown
If you think black is too gloomy a companion for turquoise shades, we recommend paying attention to the noble brown color. It gives an interesting and beautiful contrast with the sea wave. The combination is considered almost classic and is often used in clothing. Turquoise color is associated with freshness and lightness, brown is more conservative and down to earth. For example, a set of chocolate-colored trousers and a turquoise blouse can be an excellent alternative to an office black and white suit.
Turquoise and the color of gold, silver
Natural turquoise in a gold or silver frame looks harmonious and luxurious. The turquoise color complemented by the shine of these precious metals is a truly delightful combination worthy of a queen. This option has long been recognized as a classic for evening wear. Moreover, metal can manifest itself in various ways: a belt or strap, decorative trim on the hem of a dress, shoes, accessories or jewelry.

Monochrome
The simplest answer to the question of what the turquoise color goes with in clothes is: “With yourself.” Designers and stylists love to create images by playing with shades. Turquoise color is no exception; it is beautiful both in monochrome and in combinations. It is important to remember only one rule when creating such an image yourself: you cannot use warm and cold shades in one set. Clothes should be selected so as to create the impression of a smooth transition into each other.
An example is the simplest ensemble: a dark turquoise dress, a light coat and a paler handbag and shoes.

The fresh turquoise shade can be considered universal. A dress of this color emphasizes youth, femininity, lightness and simplicity, but at the same time it attracts attention and makes the owner stand out from the crowd.
