A turquoise dress is beautiful on its own, but when complemented by matching accessories and clothing, it looks even more impressive.
Additions to a turquoise dress should be selected based on the season.

In summer, a turquoise dress can be complemented with bright jewelry, such as a necklace made of multi-colored stones.
Length
Depending on the length, a turquoise dress can be suitable for a wide variety of occasions.
Long to the floor
A long turquoise dress is not necessarily an option for special occasions. A dress with a simple silhouette made from fine fabrics such as chiffon or chintz is perfect for walking along the beach or promenade on a hot summer day. Do not forget to complement your look with comfortable but graceful shoes and colorful accessories.

In the cold winter, you can remain feminine and elegant by choosing a turquoise dress with sleeves - knitted or sewn from dense, warm material - such as boucle or gabardine. The image can be complemented with beige, black or colored tights.
A short
A short turquoise dress is usually the choice of young girls. Due to the fact that turquoise color has the ability to form beautiful combinations with almost the entire color palette, fans of turquoise can safely experiment, diluting the romance of the image with jeans, a biker leather jacket or colored boots. For festive events, a turquoise mini with a tight-fitting silhouette or, conversely, with a fluffy skirt, is suitable.
Shoes
We have already said more than once that turquoise color goes well with a variety of colors. Therefore, the problem of choosing shoes for a turquoise dress is very easy to solve. The most obvious solution is, of course, turquoise shoes.
So that the image does not turn out to be monotonous, we advise you to choose shoes that are several shades lighter or darker than the dress. Another classic option is white or black shoes. The first ones are suitable for creating a more delicate image, and the second for a more strict one.
Accessories
Accessories for a turquoise dress can be chosen both in tone and in contrasting colors.
Jewelry and bijouterie should be selected based on the shade of the dress. For a turquoise dress in light colors, graceful jewelry made of silver metals and translucent stones are more suitable. It is recommended to choose more catchy jewelry for a bright turquoise dress, for example, from gold and multi-colored beads, although silver is no exception.

Earrings or a necklace made of real turquoise will look very good with a turquoise dress.
Makeup
Turquoise color, like no other, sets off the color of the eyes, therefore, with the help of cosmetics, this particular part of the face should be emphasized.
Choose bright shadows that contrast with the color of your eyes. Don't forget to add liner - black or colored - for a more dramatic look. For a light and airy turquoise dress, you need to choose a calmer, translucent makeup in gentle, pastel colors. If you have highlighted the eyes, then you should not draw a lot of attention to the lips - it is better to do with a light shine of a natural shade.
