This is my first blog entry for the year 2015, Happy New Year beautiful people. So I'm guessing by now, a lot of people have already executed some of their personal goals on their to-do-lists, if that describes you, then I say this to you "Bravo!!!"
Today's blog entry is inspired by a male friend of mine who called me yesterday to ask me for the right colours that suits his skin colour. I was surprised but glad he decided to take fashion more seriously in 2015, I don't get to have guys ask me for fashion tips, style or grooming advice, lol. My friend is light skinned and I figured other readers out there or male friends might share the same challenge as my friend.
So what colour will suit you?
The key to a good colour match is to first identify what skin tone you have. Broadly speaking, there are three complexions: pale, medium and dark. If you’re having trouble identifying exactly where you fall, try experimenting with various colours until you find the best match.
Some people may find they natural sit on the borderline between two complexions. If this is the case, try picking the best of both worlds. Remember, the best match is the one you feel most comfortable with.
Pale Skinned and Light skinned
Light coloured skin and Pale skinned guys tend to have brighter eye colours, so it’s important to find something to subtly offset all the lightness.
Your best bet is to stick to restrained tones that blend with your complexion. Try wearing pastel shades. You’ll look great in blues, browns and beiges. Avoid vivid reds, yellows, pinks and purples, these will look too vibrant and ‘hot’ against your skin, leaving your features washed out.
Medium Skin
The broadest category of the three, and one which most men fall into. With the middle tone you can get away with just about anything, the only exception being clothes that closely match elements of your skin tone such as olive or tan. Good contrast colours include black, dark blue and beige.
Dark Skin
Those with a darker complexion need to find clothes that give contrast to their skin without being outrageously bold.
Your top colours include lighter shades of blue, grey and cream; these subtle shades deliver good contrast without washing you out. Avoid shades of black, navy and deep brown that closely match your specific skin colour wherever possible.
Hope this blog entry helps you choose the right colours when next you go for clothing shopping.
This blog entry is dedicated to my good friend "Williams". Your question aided me in getting my first topic for the year.
