Hi.
I’m Antonio Centeno, the founder of Real Men Real Style.
And today I’m going to be talking about what color suit should a man wear if he has
a light-colored, white or gray hair.
Okay.

And finally, I’m always going to link you to an article down below in which we’re
going to talk more about how to dress properly.
And in fact I think, lot of times I link it to my free e-book, 47 pages long.
You’re going to love it.
And even further down, check-in in the description, there are going to be other links to useful
articles on men’s suits especially for this one.
All right.
This is a question that came in.
“Dear Antonio, do you have any suggestions for the correct color suit for someone who
has gray to white hair?
When I wear a black suit, I look like a pint of guineas.
And my hair is about 70% gray.
Great videos, by the way.
Regards, Dr. Phil.”
Well thanks, Dr. Phil.
It’s a good question.
And it’s one that, I think is confusing for men because we get used to things.
And we perhaps, you know, when our hair starts to gray, it starts to get lighter.
Usually we’ve, you know, have a lot of experience in life and we’re not – all of a sudden,
we start to notice that while our clothing, the colors that used to look great on us don’t
necessarily look great on us.
And why is this?
So I’m going to answer the question really quick, but I want to get you and I want to
give you, because if I just give you the answer, it’s nearly as much fun.
But the answer to this is that we oftentimes need to look at our skin and we need to look
at our hair and what’s the contrast between them.
And also, what is going to be right tone of the color.
So, all of these play into.
And as you get older, as your skin starts to change, as your hair starts to get lighter,
you’re going to find a lot of the very stark dark color that you could wear as a young
man, you can’t wear as an older man.
So a great example is Freddie Starr.
If you look at the gentleman, when Freddie Starr was young, he looked great in dark colors
matched with light shorts.
I mean, like contrast because he had a dark hair and medium-colored skin.
As he got older, his hair changed.
Actually, when he start going bald and he wore toupee.
But the toupee he chose to wear was a light-colored gray one.
And he was a smart man when he came dressing because he changed all of the tones of his
clothing.
And if you look at his jacket, he started wearing medium blues, a lot of lighter browns
and these colors worked it better than the stark colors.
So the quick answer, to a gentleman who has light-colored hair and he’s older, you’re
going to want to lean towards softer colors.
And so instead of going with a black suit or a dark navy blue suit, you’re going to
want to go with a more – with a navy suit with more blue in it.
You’re going to want to go with – instead of, you know, a black, go with a medium gray.
Don’t – you know, charcoal maybe is too hard for you.
So you just go with the medium gray.
A medium gray suit is just as formal.
I mean you could – a medium gray suit with a light-colored shirt with a conservative
tie is about as formal as you can get except, you know, when it comes to black tie.
So you can meet all of the requirements you need but realized that to make sure that you
don’t have colors which are going to almost draw the life out of you, you don’t want
to go with dark hard colors.
So my advice would be medium gray, light grays are going to look really good on you.
Go with blues.
I mean actually, true blues.
Go with, maybe you look at some shirts that have a little bit more color.
As a younger man, you probably didn’t want to wear pinks and reds because those would
– well, if you already had a lot of life in your skin, those will almost overheat you.
Those are really warm colors.
Now, you can actually go with these warmer colors because they’re going to help warm
you up versus younger men, a lot of times, look better in cool colors because they tone
it down there, you know, in their skin because it’s just throwing off a lot more – you
know, I’d say warmer color.
Okay.
So hopefully I didn’t confuse you.
Hopefully that made sense.
Finally, go with the medium gray to light gray.
Okay?
