What colors look best on Cool Summer men?
Cool Summer men usually look best in neutrals like French navy, blue grey, and soft white and accents like cornflower, plum, and raspberry. Keep the colors aligned with true cool with blue undertone undertones and medium contrast.

Avoid warm oranges and yellows, golden browns, and warm olive greens near the face, metals that fight silver and white gold, and outfit contrast that is stronger or weaker than your natural medium contrast.
