Hi, my name is Michael Oxman, custom clothing and image consultant with Henry A. Davidsen, here in Center City, Philadelphia. And today, we’re going to be discussing different color suits that look good on men with darker complexions. So, men with darker complexions have a great bit of leeway with the colors that they can wear to very great effect. Just like anybody, again, depending on your industry and who your audience is, your dark navys and your day grays are always going to look very good and very, very appropriate. However, for most darker-skinned men, what you would want to look for in a color of a suit is something that is very deep in hue – not necessarily pastels, but brighter, more vivid, rich colors to mellow out the skin tone, so that way there isn’t such a very stark contrast from the color of the jacket to the color of the face and hands. So, to that end, some richer colors. Of course, our solid gray on our manikin here, going to look very, very good. Additionally, we have a cadet blue, which is, in fact, the color of the jacket that I’m wearing right now. This is a very, very rich blue, still very dark and can be worn to great effect for any business occasion that you might have. Also, looks good for going out to dinner and drinks, the theater, that sort of thing. This is going to look excellent – it’s a very deep, deep, rich color. It looks very, very good. And, secondly, earth tones are going to work very, very well with darker-skinned men. And, this very deep tan, this really rich khaki – this is going to be a really, really wonderful color for men who have darker complexions.
