Know Your Season: Why the Right Colors and Styles Matter for Your Look

Guys working out at Coastal Strength & Fitness in Newport News, VA.


I recently discovered that I’m a "winter" when it comes to fashion—which, as it turns out, means certain colors suit me better than others. It was eye-opening to realize that the right color palette can make a big difference in how you look and feel. And this got me thinking… it’s not just about clothes. Your hairstyle and beard need to complement your look, too.

Let’s dive into why knowing your "season" can elevate your appearance and why it’s worth paying attention to.


1. Colors That Complement Your Skin Tone

When you know your season, you can choose colors that highlight your natural features. For example, as a winter, darker, cooler tones like navy, gray, and black look better on me than earthy shades like brown or orange. Wearing the wrong colors can make your complexion look washed out, while the right ones can give you a fresh, energized appearance.


2. Flattering Your Face Shape

Just like certain colors suit different skin tones, hairstyles and beard styles should be tailored to your face shape. I have a round face, so shorter beard styles work better for me. A long, full beard would only make my face look even rounder. Similarly, if you’ve got a longer face, adding some volume on the sides can help create a balanced look. Knowing your season is all about understanding the full picture—what cuts and styles best complement your unique features.


3. Boosting Your Confidence

When you look good, you feel good—it’s that simple. Knowing your season and picking styles that suit your look can seriously boost your confidence. If you’re wearing colors and sporting a haircut that makes you feel like the best version of yourself, it shows in how you carry yourself. A good haircut, a flattering beard, and the right wardrobe are a winning combo for making you feel on top of your game.


4. Streamlining Your Style Choices

Once you know what works for you, getting dressed becomes a whole lot easier. Knowing your season gives you a go-to palette, so you can stop guessing and start confidently putting together outfits. The same applies to your hair—finding a cut that suits your face shape and lifestyle means less stress about what looks good. With the right look dialed in, every day can be a great hair day!
