How To Dress For Your Skin Tone (Easy Color Matching Guide)

About this video

Centeno teaches men how to match clothing colors to their skin tone by breaking down seven skin tone categories and identifying which colors work best for each, along with colors to avoid. He explains the science behind why color matters, acknowledges men’s inherent disadvantage in color perception, and provides specific color recommendations using hex codes and color terminology to help men build versatile wardrobes that make their complexion appear healthier and more vibrant.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that choosing the right colors for your skin tone is a high-return skill that can instantly transform your appearance, faster than improving fit or physique
• Centeno recommends seven universal ‘default’ colors—navy blue, gray, pure white, burgundy, beige, charcoal, and teal—that work for virtually any skin tone and should comprise 90% of a classic wardrobe
• Centeno explains that men are genetically disadvantaged in color perception due to the X chromosome and socialization factors, but this can be partially overcome by learning color systems and trying colors next to your face like women do
• Centeno provides skin-tone-specific color recommendations: salmon and light blue for very fair skin; Indian red and coral pink for fair skin; pale green and peach for light skin; yellow-green and amber for medium skin; dark sea green and bronze for olive skin; crimson and emerald for brown skin; and gold and dark purple for deep skin
