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.

Land's End

Cotton Cashmere Blend

Best thing about this sweater? Its cashmere-like softness. Next best thing? Its year round wearability. Next to bare skin on cool summer nights, as a warm layering piece come fall, winter and spring. Fiberwise, it's breathable combed cotton blended with luxurious cashmere, one of the world's finest natural fibers. This sweater is machine washable too. Often those with cashmere require dry cleaning. Not this one. Just toss it in the wash, lay flat to dry. With rib-knit cuffs and bottom. 85% cotton/15% cashmere.
