Grey hair 5 - with fawns and browns
Wednesday, 16 January 2013
This is the last (for the time being) of the Grey Hair for men series. How does grey hair look with browns - russets, fawns, chocolate, aubergine? Here's the answer. You may wish to add a highlighting splash of colour - blues, reds, oranges, mustard yellow, pinks; perhaps framed within a crisp white shirt.

I think browns (camel, cognac, chocolate, cinnamon..) go well with a salt and pepper top. It also depends on skin tone too to some degree.
ReplyDeleteIn your images, I like the first best and the last least. I like the colours and individual clothing items in each, but find the last combination looks a little excessive and overdone - and there isn't even snow on the ground ! Perhaps it's fashion over function in that photo. I know that everyone on TS was going gaga over it but I think less would have been more.
The combo of style and function in the first pic is more to my liking.
Morgan Freeman makes anything he wears look good.
Thank you Mathew, I included the last image to see what reactions I would receive. I agree with your view. I wondered if he has dyed his hair which adds to the slightly false impression. GF.
ReplyDeleteI think if a person is going to dye their heir, they should dye it the color of the darkest color that is in their hair at that moment. If it is a mix of whites, grays and dark grays, match the dye color to the exact color of the darker gray that nature has given them. Not a color they think they had in youth, or some form or russet red. Too many men pick the reddish tones, and I think/feel it is unattractive. Too dark is also a No-No.
