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

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 *** 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.
