If you're a warm skin undertone just like I am, you can really wear earth colors very well and it will always look good on you. By that, I mean colors of brown, green, warm red, mustard yellow, and anything that is quite warm and natural. Likewise, neutrals like beige and cream that are softer will really work for you. In terms of the metal color, gold is the way to go.

On the other hand, if you have a cool undertone, look at shades of blue, purple, and green, they will work really well for you especially if you choose pastels. So think about a pastel blue, pastel green, maybe pastel pink, or pastel lavender, those are really great colors. In terms of metals, silver or platinum would likely work better for you and so when in doubt, go with that metal color.

No matter what skin type you are, there are three colors that are considered to be universally flattering. They include eggplant which is kind of really dark purple, a true red which is not burgundy but lighter and brighter, as well as green.

Now when it comes to colors, you may have heard of the concept of washed out colors. Just think about a washed pair of denim that used to be really dark blue but you've washed it so much that now it's just a faint blue color and it just doesn't look new anymore and you don't want to wear it. The same concept can be transitioned to humans and your face. The idea is that if you have the wrong colors next to your face it makes your skin colors look washed out in a negative way.

As I mentioned before, apart from color, it's also important to look at the contrast. For most people, it pays not to go extreme with the contrast but it's important to maintain some element of it. What I mean by that, for example, if you have a lighter skin tone, it pays to go with a lower contrast. So don't wear a black jacket with a white shirt because that's just too strong. Instead, maybe go with a light blue shirt and a medium gray suit that will flatter your skin tone much more. Now if you're a medium skin tone just like I am, you still want to avoid these really high contrast outfits of black and white or Navy and white. Even though Navy and a lighter shade of white can work for you. On the other hand, you also don't want to go with pastel tones that are too close to your skin tone because not enough contrast is not flattering either. Apart from that, you can play a lot with contrast. I can, for example, wear a white shirt with maybe a charcoal suit or a gray flannel suit that will still look good at the same time, I can wear a light blue shirt with it and it's less of a contrast but it still works for me.

Now overall, if you have darker skin tones, you can really wear high contrast outfits. Navy suits, white shirts, that's something that really works for you but definitely avoid pairing a light blue shirt with a light gray suit because it makes you look washed out.

So now that you know all those theoretical points about skin tone, skin undertone, the colors you have to wear, cool, medium, and warm, how do you actually break it down and select clothes that work for you?

The first thing you want to do is to identify the color ranges that work for you. Again, you don't have to just choose colors from that spectrum but it pays to look at those colors that work for you and then maybe choose variations of it. When putting together an outfit, color choices are most impactful with the colors that are closest to your face and your skin. If you're into hats, they're also right next to your face so make sure you get the colors right.

If you want to wear colors that fall outside of your color spectrum, try to keep them away from your face and you can go with your pants, maybe your cufflinks, your socks, your pocket square.

Finally to conclude, keep in mind that you can still wear the colors that you like. Don't let skin tones and undertones dictate the only colors you wear and keep in mind that contrast is always key.
