What to Wear in United Kingdom

The soot-stained, soot-blackened sandstone and volcanic rock that forms the backbone of the Royal Mile and the Castle.

Blend in for a moody, high-fashion street style look that feels authentically atmospheric and very 'dark academia.'

This cool, stony grey is a sophisticated neutral for cool and neutral undertones but might need a bold lip for warm skin.

The vibrant, rain-fed emerald grass of the Princes Street Gardens that stays lush throughout the long June days.

It provides a fresh, organic contrast to the heavy stone, making you look like a breath of fresh air in the city centre.

This deep, classic green is a universal hero, though it particularly makes red or blonde hair pop.

The brightly painted, curved storefronts of Victoria Street and the traditional ironwork found in the New Town.

Pop hard against the grey stone; this blue is the classic 'Edinburgh' accent that looks expensive in the soft northern light.

This royal blue is a total winner for cool undertones and gives a sharp, clean look to all skin tones.

The dusty, muted purple of the wild Scottish thistles starting to bloom on Arthur's Seat and the Salisbury Crags.

Avoid wearing this if you're hiking the hills, but it's a romantic, subtle 'blend' choice for a gallery afternoon.

This desaturated lilac-grey is exceptionally flattering on fair, cool complexions.
