Rules

15. You’re a Similar; if: Your hair is the same colour as your face. Start fucking around with high contrast colours and, you’ll be washed out; your clothes will be the main show, not your face. People will stare at your chest like you’ve got a cum on your chin.

1. Look at my face. The most expressive part of you is your face. Your clothes should make people want to look at, enhance and frame your face. Not like a lump of meat dolloped on the top.

17. You’ve got Olive skin. You need to work towards cooler colours; this will make you look more tanned. Shift towards the warm colours and you’ll look hotter than a blind puff in a hot dog factory.

Do you know why carrots don’t make good actors?  Because they don’t have a face.  They can’t articulate the wide range of emotions a human face can with their orange, vegetable skin.  This point also works with Cher.  Your face is the most important part of your appearance, your clothes should make people want to look at it, and make it appear coherent with your clothes.  

This dude’s hair is the same colour as his face, so he has used similar colours in his outfit so his face doesn’t look out of place.  He’s also got a big structured collar which frames his face, and his hat is tilled back to balance the strong collar.  The cooler blue in his jacket balances with the warmer hues of his face, again reinforcing the link between his clothes and his face. 

The white buttons give the coat something, elevating it from a fairly plain jacket to something subtly different, and well fitted, rich in colour jeans give the whole look style
