Men’s world
It happens to every guy. One day, you catch a group of girls checking out this guy wearing a pink shirt. They throw him admiring glances, and you even catch a commend about how great he looks in it. So, you decide that if he can do it, you can too. You go out and buy yourself a pink shirt. The ladies don’t seem to notice you any more than they did before, and now you’re taking some ribbing from your buddies. Frustrated, you plunge back into your blacks, grays and navies.
Here’s our guide to choosing the colors that look good on you
Dark skin tone:
Dark-skinned men need to be slightly more careful than others. If you fall into this category, the colors that you wear should contrast with your dark features.
*Colors you look your best in:
Pink, white, khaki, baby blue, gray.
*Colors you should avoid:
Black, dark, brown, turquoise, spring, green, magenta. You should stay away from tropical colors and really dark shades. While black and navy blue are hard to avoid altogether because they basically make up the corporate uniform, try them to keep them to a minimum and wear only when necessary.
Medium skin tone:
You guys have it easiest, we think. As light and dark colors both contrast nicely with your skin tone, you can go either way. For bonus points, try matching your shirt to your eye color.
*Colors you look your best in:
Beige, burgundy, royal, blue, navy, black, pink.
*Colors you should avoid:
Pistachio, mauve, dark brown, red, olive.
Pale skin tone:
Your best bet is to go with more subdued colors and pastels. These will blend will with your skin tone and create a look that is both appealing and relaxing to the eye.
*Colors you look your best in:
Light blue, brown, beige, off-white, bold blue.
*Colors you should avoid:
Red, pink, orange, yellow, purple.
While all this is just a guide, we should tell you that if you like a color and have the confidence to carry it off, well, go for it!
