Is Your Daddy Cool?  Well Not Necessarily…..

We all like to think that our Dads are cool and or trendy, don’t we?  While that might be true in terms of their colour characteristics, it doesn’t always extend to their wardrobe choices.

According to Colour Me Beautiful, the UK’s leading image consultants, your Dad is officially classified as “cool” if he has ash blonde, salt and pepper, grey or white hair, or black hair without a hint of red in it.  If he sports facial hair, it’s likely to be black with grey flecks or fully white.  And skin tone matters too – Caucasian men will typically have rosy or pink tones, while Asian and Black skin tones tend to have blue or greyish undertones. 

Cool -toned men look great in all shades of grey, navy and blue – pinks and lilacs are winners too.  They key is to avoid yellow-based colours. Famous “cool” men include George Clooney, Idris Elba and Richard Gere.

Of course, not all guys fall into the “cool” category.  Some have warmer colouring look best in tones with a yellow base – think taupe, brown, coral and teal. Famous men include Ryan Gosling, David Beckham and Dwayne Johnson.

Let’s face it – most men find clothes shopping a chore and are more than happy to let someone else do it for them. That’s where Colour Me Beautiful’s Men’s Colour and/or Image consultations come in.  This Father’s Day, consider treating yourself or give someone a gift that they’d never buy for themselves but would always be grateful for – a personalised session to help them dress with confidence, style and ease.
