Wear same bright colours off-bike in biz wear, streetwear?

I am always in bright tee shirts. I love color.

I have 4-5 darker solid colour tops. But when I get older I just don't think it looks well on me to wear colours that wash me out abit. For certain, I feel less lively. And wearing grey near my face, I have to be careful on the shade of grey. I tend to choose a lighter, whiter grey.

I'd rather wear happy colours. Dark stuff can be suave if worn with splash of colour near the face. (And I don't wear make-up. I just can't be bothered now.)

I wear almost all black, gray, white, with a few deep blue, green, purple tops thrown in. I hardly wear prints. It's easier and feels more sophisticated to me. I used to wear "jewel" tones, after I had my "colors" done in the 80s, but I am done with that. I could wear all black every day.

I could wear all black every day.

Me too.

Used to love wearing enough black in my 20's- mid 30's. But I've pulled away from that. My skin after all that cycling does not take alot black around my face too well unless I wear some jewellery metal shine near my face and I get my hair cut short enough. ...which I'm not consistent on frequent cuts. (well it costs money!)

Honest it reminds me of elderly Asian women wearing lots of grey and more drab colours that it sucks the life out of them.

But I agree I wear primarily solids 80% of the time --it does feel and in my opinion, over the years on any woman, just looks more elegant. There's less distraction to looking at the person. You see the "essence" of the woman shine through her face, the "experience" of life and how she carries herself. Same for a guy.

I used to think the black drained me of color, but, it doesn't. I wear make up, though. Also, got my hair color pretty close to my original color (golden blonde, many shades).
I can't wear silver jewelry near my face, though.

I've never thought about any of this. I grab whatever is closest in the closet and most of the time I don't look in the mirror after I am dressed and before heading out the door. I have no idea what colors look good on me and what don't ....and I guess I don't care. I wear what I like, not what other people like. I think it's important to wear what makes me happy....and if that's "hello kitty" socks then so be it.
