I'm a dark brown skin tone and my friend what you said is very true I haven't found a color or tone that doesn't work lol. Also gold looks good but rose gold looks AMAZING on dark brown skin tones
Ok. I admire your work in general, but I would suggest this to be among the most accessible and helpful videos you’ve shared with your audience. You concisely and concretely tackled a topic that many men have silently wrestled with in vain. Thank you. After that video, Doingday is definitely on my January 2022 priority list.
LOL, it’s funny that my first thought was to print out and display the color wheel in my closet until you said doing that wasn’t necessary. Too funny or disturbing whatever way I choose to look at it. Thanks again John for your generosity in sharing your knowledge!
I used a book from the 80's that is still relevant. I am known for my correct use of color. Book name is: COLOR FOR MEN. ONCE you know what colors to wear you could use football team color combinations. The work is already done for you.
Don't knock it until you've tried it...LOL. I printed off a copy of the color wheel and hung it in my closet. It made it easier to match my clothes (which I did before I went to bed so I didn't have to try to do it in the morning before I had any coffee). I'm now retired, but it's still in my closet!!!!
I discovered the skin tone and matching colours in my early 30’s! I happened to go shopping with my Mother and her advice stuck with me. I used to wear black clothes all the time and it really drained the colour from my face. Really important video Jon! Thanks
If you are ever in a huge department store just suck it up and ask one of the makeup ladies what colors work for your skin tone. They are professionals at color theory and wont steer you wrong.
I could watch (study) 20 videos on matching colours and patterns as it's very important but its not second nature yet. The skin tone approach is a huge point
An easy thing I do is go to paletton color palette generator. Since pants are generally always one color I punch it in and it spits out 3 other colors in different shades that go well together. Being in Michigan I wear lots of plaids, flannels, and checks. I usually have a shirt that picks up at least 2 of the colors it suggests.
Hi, John. There is actually colour analysis done that puts a person into a "season" which you touched on but it's a bit more detailed. I'm a "winter" for example. I've watched it done and you can really see the difference in how people look. Some actually looked sickly with the wrong shade of colour. Even jewelry can be a part of it. Silver vs gold for example. Recommend it for anyone wanting to look their best. Cheers.
I find the "season" analysis to be *less detailed* than the color/contrast analysis. For example, everyone with a warm skin tone gets lumped together as an autumn, regardless of their contrast level. People with high contrast and cool or neutral skin tones get lumped together as a winter. Et cetera. Moreover, the "season" analysis is *jargon* and lacks the clarity of the color/contrast analysis. Could you tell me (without referencing Google or some other source) what a "spring" or "summer" should wear? Probably not. But if I tell you that I'm medium contrast with cool skin undertones, then it's obvious that I will look best in medium contrast outfits in cool colors. The color/contrast analysis is more detailed and easier to understand. I think most people will do better using that, rather than the "season" jargon. For the people who already know and understand their "season," stick with what you know. It certainly works.
@@karlr750 Well, there are variations as well within the seasons. My mother for example is an auntum but can't wear certain browns. I guess whatever works for you though. My suggestion was more centered around getting it professionally done instead of a guessing game. They will often give you a swatch of colours to use as a guide. I've seen people use your method and look pale and sallow not realizing the undertones of a colour for example. In the end, many ways to the mountain top but the view is the same. Cheers.
I also have used the "season" system with great success. Although I am an artist and a designer, I was wearing some of the worst possible colors in my clothing. The outfits looked fine, but not on me! I've found that most people without some artistic training have a very difficult time in discerning between warm and cool tones of the same color. The toughest colors seem to be blues and grays.
Suppose you're African-American with medium to dark brown skin Tobe, but you have Grey hair (instead of black or dark hair). What would the color rule be? Would you adjust the color tones worn to take into account the Grey hair? What color tones do you suggest?
I never knew about anything of that until an old guy from my neighborhood, who use to be a designer, told me that he likes to sit on a bench and watch me go to my job because he's in awe about how every color and style look good on me and that I should consider working as a model. Look like Im one of those lucky guys that has medium contrast😂😂 I have jet black hair, yellowish pale skin and light hazel eyes.
Legend. I'm definitely a Medium Contrast Guy. Generally, I can go all out on the color wheel: Red, Orange, Yellow, Pink, Blue, White, Green.... even Gray. I was told to stay away from Black and Brown....but I don't. Black is Beautiful! Thank you for this video, John. This hits it out of the ballpark.
I also like black and brown together, but it depends on the brown. For example, I like just about any color from beige to saddle tan to rust with black, but not the dark shades of brown. I avoid putting colors together that are too close to black in saturation and hue, like dark navy or chocolate brown. I don't want to look like I got dressed in the dark and couldn't tell one dark color from another. I love royal blue, cobalt, and ceylon-sapphire blue with black; there's enough difference in hue and saturation to black that the combination looks intentional, not accidental.
@@40OverFashion Thank you for responding. I have and I sincerely think I need to start from scratch. What type of clothes would be casual but professional at the same time?
@@dementedrojo83 First you should get yourself a basic wardrobe that works in all situations and sufficient amount. Solids in white, blue, grey and beige. These colors are easy to combine. Black items also works but are usually overused. When you have your basics you can begin adding patterns and other colors, because now you always have something to combine them with. What items you need? It all depends on what situations you will meet. Business, with friends, family, your dear and on your own. There are also different seasons and weather. You'll need both formal and casual items. Yes, business casual is probably what you are looking for. Unless you are living in sweatpants I'd suggest you start off by switching to a button down or dress shirt, and upgrade your shoes. Quite noticeable but safe steps. And a nice jacket to meet the season where you live. It is also a part of your basic wardrobe. A black and a dark brown belt to match your shoes. And there you have started your style journey. Don't be afraid to overdo it sometimes and to make some bad purchases, we all have. And some people just need to get used to your new appearance.
@@dementedrojo83 These guys are dead on. Start with solids in every neutral color first. In chinos, button ups, polos, shorts, sweaters, ect. Then get a pair of dark wash denim. Think about fit above all. Cheap chinos from target that fit right will always look better than ill fitting designer clothes. Once you have a solid base of neutrals then get some patterns in neutrals and then introduce some colors.
You should study up on the theory of "Color Values"...any color can be pared with any other color as long as the "Color values" are the same. It's something painters have known for centuries.
Maybe I've been doiing it all wrong but I prefer to match up my sock color with my shirt when I can get a match, then second choice is to match to my pants. THe exception is white where I would default to pants color instead of a white/cream shirt color.
thanks for the intricate video, the skin tone bit was hard for me since I really cannot tell, I look good in orange and also browner colors but green clashes. Hm. Not sure what that means.
One way I look at color palettes and how they look on different skin is I see how players look in all the colorful professional sports uniforms like the NBA & European soccer. One example is the Cleveland Cavaliers uniform; it looks great on the dark skinned players, ok on white guys with dark hair, & horrible on white guys with blond hair.
WAIT! - What? Low contrast means 'similar shades' or little difference in brightness to darkness in the same person. For this category you suggested: - Blonde guy with Light skin and BLUE eyes. Maybe it was the image you selected, but I think the darker African-Americans and those who have Dark hair, Dark skin and Dark eyes would actually fit the LOW Contrast category also (albeit the darker end rather than the lighter end of the spectrum.)
I’m gonna say that this video to me is one of your most important video I’ve watched among all the many great ones all year since being a sub. And I’m gonna say why. The matching of clothing, color, fabric, texture and how we all perceive colors in clothing on others is very important and for style. Many of us struggle with being good at color matching. And their is so much science to colors, color matching and wearing. Does this color make me look thin or bigger? Does it accentuate focus to other areas? What the hell does Cool or Warm even mean? Because I honestly have no damn idea what it means to dress in cool or warm colors, yet I fundamentally know it’s important. But the point is it all matters greatly in dressing and styling clothing and these things aren’t always well explained or explained well in show and tell. For example, I showing the still of a warm and cool color, I can fundamentally see the difference, but what exactly does it mean in me seeing it and someone else seeing and reacting to those colors warm or cool? Things like this need more understanding. Hence why I say all together this is probably to me one the most interesting and important video, because there is lots to understand. Thus hope we get more vids that further explains and show the differences as well explains them.
Legend Really informative video, John. I find the skin tone information fascinating. If I understand it correctly, would you be cool with low contrast?
I like this direction of videos so much. I feel like a lot of fashion channels repeat the same info over n over n over. Way to separate yourself from the group!
Great video, as always. Shades of grey or shades of blue always work together. It's elegant. Also brown and sand color is nice. Complementary colors. I like navy and black together, even if some people have a different opinion. In my opinion bright colors could be nice, especially for the summer.
All shades of blue do not go with all other shades of blue unless you're colorblind. Same with shades of gray. There are warm grays and cool grays; if you mix a warm gray with a cool gray, it's going to look like you got dressed in the dark. Sorry to tell you.
HI John. Thanks for todays' video as many people sometimes wrestle with decisions on what colors they should wear. Myself included.BTW l I wish my neighbor down the street would have consulted a color wheel before painting his house dark purple with white window frames and chartreuse shutters . :-D Peace. : )
What's amusing that my skin tone is pretty pale, because I'm English. But I can tan because I've also got Some Romanian heritage, also I'm not sure but I may also be a bet Turkish. So I'm a cold skin tone, but I can tan.
Great video as usual! I’m very intrigued by the palette website as I’ve had difficulty with the wheel. Btw, your jacket is a great statement piece. Where’d you get it?
@@40OverFashion John, should I order the jacket or wait for your video in case you have a code, etc. The model on their website is wearing a small sized one. Small? I haven’t worn small in many, many years!
I have experience with this subject and I want to say to the red haired/ginger guys with very pale skin, do not wear pure white...it washes you out guys...wear a cream or off white instead and it looks great on you.
I do enjoy your channel and your insight, but like all the channels I check out I take it with my personal filter as an overlay. That being said the striped blue sports jacket you have as an example and have worn in another video is something to be donated to a thrift store! I wouldn't wear it if I was being paid to do it, sorry!!
SOS! A question. You seem to contradict yourself! I am a low contrast guy; fair skin with a little bit of pinkish glow from sun exposure, shaved head, brown eyes, cool skin tone, greying eyebrows (previously medium brown.) Early in the segment you recommended medium tones, including light blue shirts. Then you contradict yourself at 6:34 telling me to avoid light blues close to the face. Can you resolve this seeming contradiction, expand on other colors, and give me advice I can put into action? Thank you!
I’m a cool shade & fair skinned Irish American man. The main color that looks awful on me & in my opinion almost all white people is gold + most yellows, & orange. Gold especially looks terrible (clothing not jewelry). One thing that jars with these color matching palettes is I think dark navy blues & maroons look great on me. They contrast with my hair and green/brown eyes.
LOOK TO NATURE! EARTH TONES WORK FOR ALL. I don't believe skin tone makes any difference. In terms of mixing patterns I say one of the colors or the canvas color of the two patterns should have one matching color to be easier on the eyes and more subtle.
I'm a dark brown skin tone and my friend what you said is very true I haven't found a color or tone that doesn't work lol. Also gold looks good but rose gold looks AMAZING on dark brown skin tones
Agreed there's only a few colors I refuse to wear... As long as it comes from nature we should be good!
