The Best Colours To Wear With Grey Hair | Over 60 colour analysis | Best Clothes With Grey Hair

Published 2024-06-16
Hello! Welcome back to my channel! So recently, I have been asked a few times if going grey affects the colours in your colour palette, and the answer is usually yes, it does. As a result, I decided to create this video to help you determine which colours will work for you and which ones to avoid.

Like anything related to colour, I do not believe we all fall into the 12 traditional palettes of 'cool summer', 'warm autumn', etc. Many of us fall predominantly into one of those palettes but slightly into another one, too. This can change even more once we decide to embrace the grey.

Let me know in the comments what stage you are at.

  • I'm 60 years young and embraced my natural grey/white hair. I have zero regrets, and I've had strangers coming up to me and complimenting me on my hair. Thank you for all these wonderful tips on matching color with our guy hair. Cheers from 🇨🇦
  • Loved this video! I went gray in my early 50s because I got sick of the monthly expense (& chemicals) to keep my hair colored. My mother grayed early, & eventually to lovely/ striking white. Beautiful silver kept peeking through for me & I wanted to finally feel authentic. One relative told me: “You can’t possibly go gray - you have teenage daughters & you’ll look old!” I said screw that! I’ve never looked back & love my short, spikey cut. I have noticed, however that black sometimes looks a bit harsh now & I gravitate toward charcoal & navy. When I was dark brunette (pale blue eyes, cool skin undertones) I was a winter palette, now I’m wandering into some lighter cool tones. It’s fun to continually evolve in both fashion & life. Aging - & the wisdom it brings - is a gift!
  • I’m a hairdresser, I had a lot of negative feedback when I started growing out my color. Now, I’ve never gotten more compliments. Even from the people that said don’t do it! 😂
  • Thank you for confirming what I have begun to notice on myself. Great tips
  • I ve had grey hair since I was 30. I am 68 now. There has not been a day when women would ask me how I could accept my grey hair or others trying to convince me to colour them. I have always felt confident with my grey hair and I am happy to see that women feel the same now . Yes it is important to wear the right clothes the right coulours and have the right attitude to avoid looking old.
  • @leejacobs3620
    I found this to be a very realistically helpful guide. Thank you so much for sharing.
  • @Annette-ou2bo
    Thank you for the helpful content to keep in mind going forward.
  • Fantastic video!! I'm 60 and have had silver hair for about 6 years. They are so beautiful that even 2 of my dear friends decided to embrace their natural color. A hug 🌸 
  • @kelly3560
    Thank you for the positive information.
  • Thanks for this video! Encouraging and instructive! I went grey in my early 50's and never looked back. I've always been a cool winter but agree it's important to tone down a bit. I have bright blue eyes and platinum hair. Yes to choosing colors you gravitate toward! Thanks again!
  • @bfranklin1052
    Wonderful video! I'm new to you and so glad to find you. Struggling with my new gray hair and this is so helpful. Thanks so much!
  • Hi really enjoyed your video. I was only just thinking about everything you discussed. I’m 61yo l am quite silver now use be dark brown. lm glad your doing these videos as lm basically wearing navy all time but l had noticed it’s a bit dark, so l thought maybe l need to get my winter colours in their softer hues. I quite like the summer palette too now. I’m big believer in solid basics but even my style has altered and lm looking for softer more flowing outfits. Thanks again. Kym😊

    I’m caught between letting go of the foils and embracing salt and pepper hair. Pinterest is my savior. I have a huge board on my newly minted retirement style and I’m loving my wardrobe, which I’ve recently overhauled.

    So true. I went grey (easy to do with short hair) after I retired 6 years ago. My grey is strange. It is predominantly white and pewter with warm here and there from the natural hair still in it (I was always golden blonde as a kid and my hair darkened to dirty blonde and then a dark golden brown before I greyed). I find some autumn colors work on me as well as a few spring. Some winter does as well. I fall into summer with my skin and eyes and lean towards more muted and true colors. Darks don’t really do me any favors except black - which I use with white and tan as my main neutrals. I have a difficult time with browns that look good on me. 😬 But I agree wholeheartedly with this video. As we age our hair and skin really makes a difference in the colors we wear. And I love color. 🥰❤ And no, I’ve never had an analysis. I just go with what makes me feel good and look good. Maybe I should have my colors done? 🤔
  • I colored my dark brown hair for decades and finally decided to embrace going grey at age 60. After a year or so, it's all grown out and looks great but now it seems like my natural hair is getting darker again!
  • I much prefer my grey hair to the previous natural drab brown. Years ago I had a colour analysis done and was typed as an "early autumn," but find that the earth tones don't work for me anymore. Strangely enough, black was given as one of my neutrals, and I still have that as one of my wardrobe staples along with peach (my skin tone) and teal (my "high" shade). My colour analyst also said I could use "all the metals," which is great because -- surprise! -- I am leaning a lot more towards the white metals! A few years ago, I purchased an outfit in burgundy, and whenever I wear it, I always get compliments.

    Can you please do a video on how to tastefully accentuate one’s eyebrows when greying and/or having lost the outer third (hypothyroidism so common at this stage of life). Something on how to choose glasses that best flatter a woman of a certain age would also be great
  • @jog8646
    I am a winter and when I was younger, warm tones made me look 10 years older. Now at 59 I find I can wear cream as well as white, as my hair is now mid-grey.
