Flattering Prints for Grey Hair:

Animal Prints:

I would say the best and flattering print that a woman in mid of her grey hair transition can rock and be confident.

During the grey hair transition, as the hair grows and roots glide down gradually, there is a variation of three colours in your hair, including silvery grey or charcoal tones as the newly grown roots, orange/yellow as a stripe of demarcation and then brown if you are a brunette and blonde coloured tips on blonde haired women.

Traditional leopard and zebra prints are fundamentally based on neutral colors – black, white and often shades of brown. This shared palette makes for an effortlessly harmonious combination with the hair during the grey hair transition. It is also flattering for most skin tones.

Just have a look at these inspiring animal print outfits and how they just complement the overall hair.

Floral Prints:

Floral prints add a touch of youthfulness and energy to an outfit. They look fantastic on a woman with grey hair. The vibrant colours in floral prints contrast beautifully with the neutral tones of gray hair, creating a striking and balanced look.

Consider smaller florals to create a delicate, romantic look, while larger blooms make a bold statement. This versatility allows you to find the perfect print to suit your own style.

Choose floral prints with colours that complement your skin tone and eye colour. For example, if you have cool undertones, opt for prints with blues, purples, and greens.

Floral prints with muted or neutral backgrounds, such as soft pastels or earth tones look great with gray hair.

Polka Dots:

Polka dots have a unique ability to transport us to an era, full of glamour and sophistication. Polka dots when worn with gray hair create a classic look. This timeless pattern has been modernized in recent years. You can confidently incorporate polka dots into your wardrobe and create a stylish and eye-catching look that complements your gray hair.

Choose polka dot colours that complement your skin tone and eye colour. For example, black and white polka dots are a classic choice, while navy and white can be more striking.

Smaller dots and colours enhance the individual’s complexion, such as warm tones like rust or olive.
