Which colors are best for Seniors?
As we grow older, our coloring changes. Here are a few rules of thumb:
Grey vs white: If your hair and facial hair (including eyebrows) are grey, then choose deeper greys, blues and greens. If your skin is ruddy, avoid anything with red. If your skin is pale, then pink and peach will look very handsome.
If your hair and facial hair (including eyebrows) are white, avoid very pale colors in sports shirts and look for richer muted tones such as light blue with a darker stripe or a rich grey. Blue-grey and avacado or olive will be wonderful colors for you.
If your eyebrows and facial hair are significantly darker than your head then you can wear brown, deep green, burgundy and gold colors.

Gretchen Says...
Casual Shirts are sometimes called Sports Shirts. In either case, they button up just like a Dress Shirt. Casual (or Sports) shirts are rarely worn with suits though I have seen some very attractive exceptions to this idea and I've also seen casual shirts worn with Blazers or Sport Coats.
For more about these differences and the social changes that are influencing the wearing of casual shirts, check out this link to Andy's Forum where some fashion followers and experts discuss the issue.
