Men's Clothing & Color - What To Do When You Don't Like The Colours That Suit Your Complexion
Hi, I'm Antonio Sentinel, the founder of Real Men Real Style, today I'm going to be talking
about what do you do when you don’t like the colors that naturally suits you?

Okay the question that came in.
“I'm a low contrast, pale skinned, blonde-brownish hair individual, yet I hate earthy tones.
It’s a strong word.
Brown and green evoke images of rot, mold, and decay to my mind.”
He obviously does not like his colors.
“Okay, I like black, grey, white, dark purple, red bull blue, and reds.
How do I make my color preferences work for me?”
Okay, so I think the simple answer here is that yes, we do all have colors that compliment
how we look but it’s really there’s – often times we think that and I think this gentleman,
his not looking at everything that compliments him.
So he needs to find something that can be his canvass.
Something that – because the colors that he really likes and he’s drawn to are little
bit too harsh for his natural complexion, although I would have to look at pictures
of him and maybe look at it close, he could probably still pull off a few of those but
some of them don’t sound exactly right for him but the mistake his making is he’s thinking
that this have to be the dominant colors he wears.
Instead what he’s looked to do is to have a nice canvass of simple colors, maybe lighter,
once that don’t compete with his facial contrast because he’s normally going to
be over powered if you, if he wears black and white.
But if he actually goes for something that compliments his complexion a bit more, let’s
say something – I know he doesn’t like any of the earthy tones but they’re going
to be ones that are a bit further from that, that he could go with and what he should do
then is bring in I think it was red bull blue and the red and so those type of colors, he
can bring them into accessory pieces and think of it like spice.
So whenever you go and cook – a novice mistake that I made when I first started cooking is
I thought more spice is going to equal better food.
It makes sense right?
Spices are good, so throw in more spice and what would happen it was over power the food
that I'm trying to eat, it just didn’t taste great.
A chef understands that you put in the right spices at the right time and they pull out
the natural flavors.
And that’s what this gentleman needs to be thinking, how can you create and throw
on a canvass with simple clothing and accentuate it with the colors he really loves.
So you should look at pocket squares and neck ties, add a little accessories which would
bring in the color and that would be, I would think initially starting off if you were to
design your own clothing or go to a custom clothier.
He could actually bring in little bits, so he could go actually go with the very muted
jacket that actually has, perhaps a brighter color sawn into it and it doesn’t really
come out unless he’s wearing an accessory which brings out those colors.
The same could be for, perhaps he wants to wear a very muted canvass on most of his body
but he wants to go for a bit more of eccentric shoes and some and pull out the colors he
likes right there.
So there are ways of bringing this into their wardrobe even if you don’t like – what
most people will tell you are the correct colors.
Now I'm working on the coloring and style system that’s going to be available here
at the end of 2011 and if you’re watching this video when it’s already in that late
period you’re probably are going to have a link to it right below but let me tell you
that color is really hard on the webinar, probably have to see images of this guy to
give me exact advice but the key point to take from this is that, if you don’t like
the colors which most people are saying, look great on you.
Then find the colors you do like and use those as your canvass colors and then the colors
that you really enjoy which people say aren’t going to work for you.
Well, look to accentuate your outfit like a spice.
A little bit here, a little bit there and you’re going to be surprise how people are
going to focus on those little focus points which you put.
Okay hopefully that gave you a little bit of useful information.
This has been Antonio Sentinel with Real Men Real Style; I’ll see you in the next video.
Take care.
