Choosing a Men’s Dress Shirt That Flatters Your Complexion |
|

|
Look in the closet of the average man and you will find a sea of solid white dress shirts. Most men just aren’t comfortable choosing flattering colors for their complexions. White on the other hand is always appropriate and easy to match—but it doesn’t look good on everybody.
What Colors Look Best on You?
A man with fair hair and skin will look tired and washed out in white while a man with a darker complexion will look young and vibrant. Understanding your complexion is essential to choosing flattering dress shirt and tie combinations. Educate yourself and learn what colors will make you look your best.
Cool Undertones: Fair Complexion, Light to Medium Hair and Eye Color
You have a fair complexion with cool undertones. Your hair color may be platinum, ash blond, silver or ash brown, with blue, gray or soft brown eyes. Softer color dress shirts look best on you. Opt for ivory instead of white, and try pastel colors such as pink, blue, lavender, gray and soft yellow.

Cool Undertones: Deeper Skin Tone or High Contrast between Hair, Eye and Skin Color
You have a deeper skin tone or a high contrast between your hair color, eye color and skin tone. A bright white shirt is a great choice for you, as are clear, powerful colors like blue, yellow, pink, purple, gray and black.
