Have you ever been drawn to a stunning pattern Garfield Cat Philadelphia Phillies Forever Not When Win 2024 T-shirt, only to find that it somehow overwhelms your look, rather than enhancing it? What I’ve learned over the past 20 years working with clients doing personal colour analysis and finding the best ways of putting each individual client’s colours together, I’ve discovered that understanding the power of value contrast and ideal value can be the key to unlocking your true style potential. Join me as we explore the art of mastering prints, and learn how to make them work for you, no matter your unique features or colouring. Value contrast, as I always emphasize, isn’t a rigid rule. Instead, it’s a guideline that can be bent to suit your individual style. Take it from my own experience. In the past, when I had stark black hair and fair skin, high value contrast black and white prints were my go-to, effortlessly complementing my high-contrast features. Then I changed to a platinum blonde and a very light ideal value (reminder, ideal value is the same lightness or darkness of your hair, find out more about it here if it’s a new concept for you), which has remained light as I’ve embraced my silver foxette locks. Now, finding the right balance has become key to nailing the look. See above the first picture of me (left) in a bold, stark black and white zebra pattern. The starkness of the contrast overpowers my appearance, making the pattern the focal point, not me. Not the ideal look, right?. Now, the second floral print is slightly better and this is because it’s a more blended print that has light, medium, and dark in it making it more wearable for me with my medium value contrast. Now the third image is a pattern with some gray tones incorporated. This slight shift reduces the harshness of the contrast, creating a more balanced and manageable look. But you can see that it’s still not ideal and wears me, rather than me wearing the print. Here’s where the magic happens. In the fourth image, even though we’re back to a straight black-and-white pattern with a predominantly light background this works much better because the background value is the same as my ideal value (light) but it’s still not as good as the final (fifth) print which again, even though it’s a black and white print works wonders for someone like me with lighter hair. as the volume of the dark is further reduced as the size of the black elements are smaller, almost making the print appear to be grey rather than black and white. By minimizing the dark elements and emphasizing the light, the pattern starts to complement my features, rather than overshadowing them. So even though I wouldn’t normally wear a black and white print as the value contrast is too high, I could wear this one fairly easily (it’s all about knowing how to bend the guidelines to fit you).

The best thermals will be made from natural fabrics – either 100% cotton or, even better, merino wool. Garfield Cat Philadelphia Phillies Forever Not When Win 2024 T-shirt The latter is a natural performance fabric that will keep you both dry and warm. Hiking boots are the only sensible choice for a ski trip. Featuring a high ankle, robust rubber sole and waterproof upper, hiking boots are perfect for walking in the snow and traversing the landscape after a day on the slopes. Go for a pair made from waxy leather with waterproof Gore-Tex lining and you can wear them in the ski lodge, on a walk to the shops and slot them straight into your wardrobe when you get back home. The beanie is a bonafide winter must-own for any man. They keep out the cold, keep your head and ears warm and can be used to bring a pop of colour or personality to any look. Go as wild or restrained as you like with your colour of beanie, but for practical reasons we would suggest skipping the smaller fisherman styles as they aren’t going to offer enough protection in freezing conditions. As for material, you may be wearing this item a lot, so prioritise soft, natural materials that aren’t too irritating or scratchy. This may mean swerving 100% lambswool styles in favour of cotton blends, cashmere and merino wool versions. We don’t need to tell you the virtues of a good pair of gloves. When your hands are cold it’s difficult to get the heat back into them again, but quality gloves will instantly negate this issue altogether. You could go for a classic leather pair, either in black or brown, or for something more technical either in glove or mitten form. The latter is the more practical option, as a nylon or polyester pair will be waterproof and will dry out quickly on the radiator at the end of the night. No matter what style you go for, however, we would encourage you to go for a pair lined with a warm, comfortable material like wool or fleece, or one filled with down feathers. Touchscreen compatibility will also be a godsend when you’re trying to operate your phone at the top of a run.
