Color palette plays an important role in choosing any part of an outfit. When a haberdasher, designer, or retail representative speaks of your “color palette,” they are speaking of the combination of your complexion, eye, and hair color.

For example, a reputable clothier would never sell a fair skinned, blonde haired, blue eyed gentleman a white linen suit, as it would wash the person out, and make them resemble a Q-Tip! It’s very important to find good complimenting and contrasting tones to your color palette, as it will make the outfit look better, as well as make you feel better.
