Color analysis for men
Color analysis for men works exactly as for women: undertone, depth and contrast decide your season, and the season tells you which shirt, knitwear, tie and suit colors make your face look healthy. The quickest wins are the colors closest to the face: shirts, collars, scarves and frames. Take the free test or upload a selfie to find your season.
Updated
Where color matters most in menswear
- Shirt and T-shirt colors, right under the face.
- Knitwear and jacket collars.
- Ties, scarves and pocket squares.
- Glasses frames and beard grooming products.
- Suits and coats matter less, because a shirt sits between them and your face.
Best shirt and suit colors by season family
| Family | Shirts | Suits and coats | Avoid near the face |

| Autumn | Cream, olive, rust, warm teal | Chocolate, olive brown, camel | Icy pastels, black |
| Winter | Pure white, icy blue, true red accents | Black, charcoal, navy | Camel, beige |
Simple rules for men
- 1
Fix the shirt first
Replace white with your season’s white (soft white, ivory, cream or pure white).
- 2
Pick one neutral family
Navy or grey for cool seasons, brown or olive for warm ones.
- 3
Match metals
Watch, belt buckle and frames in your metal: gold for warm, silver for cool.
Color analysis for men: grooming and glasses
Color analysis helps beyond clothes. Glasses frames sit on your face, so pick a frame color from your season: tortoiseshell, gold and olive for warm seasons; black, gunmetal and navy for cool ones; soft taupe or grey for soft seasons. If you dye a beard or hair, choose a color one level lighter than your natural color and in the same temperature.
For suits, color analysis matters less than for shirts, but a navy that suits your season (warm navy, greyed navy or ink navy) makes the whole outfit look sharper. Take the free color analysis test or send one selfie for the AI color analysis.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Does color analysis work for men with beards?
Yes. The beard adds to your contrast; judge its natural color the same way as hair.
What if I am going grey?
Grey and silver hair cools and softens your coloring, which can move you toward a Summer or a softer season.
Is there a men’s version of the test?
The same test works for everyone; questions about lipstick and blush can be answered by imagining which looks more natural or skipped.
