What’s the Best Hijab Color That Goes With a Mauve Dress?

Mauve is at the top of the ladder of sophisticated colors. It’s royal, it looks good on everyone, and it’s often present at every red-carpet event. Because of all that, it’s pretty hard to style it, let alone find a hijab color that goes well with it.

The colors that go well with mauve are limited, unlike green, yellow, and red. But don’t worry! We studied the color wheel, tried hundreds of different styles, and looked up every color possible, and we came up with this list of every hijab color that goes with a mauve dress!

What’s a Hijab Color That Goes With a Mauve Dress?

Despite being a hard color to style, we managed to come up with some colors that’d look good with a mauve dress. Here’s a roundup:

Baby Blue

For some reason, mauve goes exceptionally well with baby blue. It generally pairs well with a lot of light colors, but baby blue, in particular, creates a pretty combo with mauve. 

You can style your mauve dress with a solid-colored baby-blue scarf. Then, finish the outfit by wearing a light denim jacket. Or, opt for a printed scarf that features both colors, like EMMA’s Farfalla.

The outfit will be ideal for both summer and autumn because its colors are soft with balanced tones.

Off-White

Off-white looks pretty well with mauve because it’s soft, yet it balances the mauve shade well. Both colors create a delicate, feminine combo that’d be perfect for formal outings or work gatherings. 

This combo can be worn in all seasons, but it’ll mostly look the best in summer because of the light shades. If you don’t like plain off-white hijabs, you can get a similar color with a warm undertone, like EMMA’s Mink Elegance.

Gold

Gold and mauve create a delicious combo, to say the least. It’s like the royals created the mauve color to match their gold jewelry, and they did a pretty good job at it!

If you’re going to a wedding, an engagement party, or even a five-star birthday celebration, you can match your mauve dress with a subtle gold scarf.

Pair those with some gold accessories and a pair of off-white heels, and you’ll be the talk of the party!

Navy Blue

Baby blue isn’t the only blue shade that’d go well with a mauve dress. Navy blue would be a good choice too, especially for night outings. You can match the outfit with silver accessories, and the colors will blend well.

Beige

For the autumn, you can pair your mauve dress with a beige hijab. Beige is a basic color that looks good with almost all colors in the color wheel, but it looks extra elegant with mauve because both shades share softness.

You can also go for a different beige shade, like EMMA’s Nude Elegance.

All nude colors will mostly match well with your dress.

Black

For the winter, there’s no better match for mauve than black. Both colors go pretty well together because they’re both crisp, elegant, and sophisticated. 

For a romantic night out, you can pair your mauve dress with a black satin scarf, a pair of black heels, and some silver jewelry. You can also add a black clutch to the equation for an ultra-sophisticated look.

For a black satin scarf, opt for EMMA’s Black Marble or Into the Night. Both are exquisite options for night outings.

How to Compliment Your Mauve Dress

To compliment your mauve dress, you’ll need to wear specific shoe colors, and you’ll want to think carefully about the accessories you’ll use.

Here are some tips to compliment your look:

Wear Subtle Shoes

Wearing a mauve dress, you’ll want it to be the center of attention. To do that, it’s better to match it with subtle shoes, like nude colors. Opt for off-white or rose heels, or maybe go for beige if you’re wearing a beige scarf.

You can also opt for black heels if you’re wearing a black hijab, but it’s still better to keep the shoes nude, so they blend in seamlessly with the outfit.

Alternatively, you can go for metallic shoes, preferably golden ones. They won’t blend in per se, but they’ll go well with the mauve shade.

Metallic Accessories All the Way

If you’re in doubt about the accessories, always go for metallic ones. You can either choose silver, gold, or rose gold accessories, depending on your choice of shoes and hijab.

If you’re wearing an off-white or a blue hijab, it’d be better to go with silver accessories. The same goes if you’re wearing a black scarf.

On the other hand, if you’re going for a beige scarf, a gold one, or any similar nude color, opt for gold jewelry.

Bonus tip: wear your clutch or bag in the same color as your accessories for a balanced look.

Choose the Right Shade of Mauve

When choosing your dress, be mindful of your skin tone. If you’re leaning toward darker skin tones, opt for deeper shades that’ll bring out your skin color. On the other hand, choose light mauve shades if you have a light skin tone. 

There are some mauve shades that go well with absolutely all skin tones, like mauve taupe, so prioritize it if you don’t know which shade to get.

Final Thoughts

Now, you know every hijab color that goes with a mauve dress! You can go for nudes if you want a classic, timeless look. Or, if you want to make a fashion statement, you can opt for a black satin hijab.

In all cases, mauve looks well with basic colors. It’s not the best option for color blocking because there are only a few colors on the wheel that go well with it.
