The Best Outfit Colors to Enhance a Tan
There’s something about a fresh, sun-kissed glow that makes getting dressed feel ten times more fun. Suddenly, every outfit just works a little better, every color pops a little more.
After years of trial and error (and way too many hours trying on outfits before brunch), I’ve figured out a few outfit color tricks that really make a tan stand out.
BYROKKO
Lately, I’ve been obsessed with BYROKKO’s Sunkissed Box, which I tried after hearing a ton of rave reviews online.
The real standout for me is the Shine Brown Tanning Cream, which helps you achieve a natural, darker and long-lasting tan.
The cream works like a miracle, accelerating the tanning process so you can get that golden vacation bronze but stay in the sun for a shorter period of time. It also simultaneously moisturizes your skin, allowing it to stay silky smooth and hydrated throughout and after the tanning process.
It’s made with all-natural ingredients, including 100% extra virgin olive oil, carrot oil, walnut oil, and cocoa butter.
So not only does it boost your tan, but it also leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft and nourished.
Plus, the scent is dreamy: light, tropical, and nothing like the typical chemical-y self-tanner smell.
Using the Sunkissed Box feels like this little luxury ritual — and after just a couple of uses, my skin looked bronzed, radiant, and super healthy.
Here’s how I’ve been styling my glow lately:

Colors That Make Your Tan Pop
1. Crisp Whites
White is the classic color when it comes to making your tan pop. It’s fresh, effortless, and makes bronzed skin look even deeper and richer.
After using BYROKKO’s Shine Brown Cream from the Sunkissed Box for a few days, I threw on a simple white linen dress for a Saturday brunch and had so many people ask if I had just gotten back from a trip.
My go-to’s:
- A loose white button-down over denim shorts
- A breezy white maxi dress for evening dinners
- Crisp white bikini for beach days (or poolside lounging with an iced coffee in hand)
The key is choosing fabrics that feel light and summery (cotton, linen, gauze) to keep the look casual but polished.

2. Soft Pastels
If you want a slightly softer, more romantic vibe, pastels are your best friend.
Think: baby blue, lilac, soft peach, and mint green. All of these colors create a beautiful contrast against bronzed skin without feeling too loud.
Pastels just have this way of making everything look more delicate and luxe when you’re rocking a tan.

3. Bold Brights
When I’m feeling a little extra, bold brights are the move.
After a few days using BYROKKO’s products, your tan will look peak “beach goddess”.
That’s when you should pull out the really vibrant colors: hot pinks, electric blues, corals, and lemon yellows.
Bright colors not only show off your tan but also just radiate good vibes. They’re fun, attention-grabbing, and totally scream summer energy.
Vibrant bright looks to consider:
- A coral wrap dress
- A butter yellow matching set
- A deep emerald green swimsuit
Pro tip: If you’re nervous about wearing a full bright outfit, start small with accessories!
A vibrant clutch, bright earrings, or bold sandals paired with neutrals will also do the trick.

A good tan (faux or not) unlocks a whole new side of your wardrobe.
Ever since I started using BYROKKO’s Sunkissed Box, I genuinely feel more confident reaching for pieces I might have skipped over before, especially colors that used to feel “too bold” or “too pale” on my skin.
Whether you’re planning a beach vacation or just want to fake that glow from your living room, the right colors can totally amplify your tan and your confidence.
So go ahead: pull out the crisp whites, dreamy pastels, and punchy brights – and let your glow do the talking!
