When you’re in the business of colours, there’s nothing more satisfying than hearing about a success story! One of our clients came in for a consultation and through our colour analysis he discovered that his perfect palette was that of a ‘cool winter’. 

This means he was suited to very cool colours – so warm tones are out! With his new knowledge he went all out and found a new wardrobe while on holiday, check out his shopping haul!

“Friday I celebrated my 35th birthday and I followed my partner to Osaka for the weekend where I shopped till I dropped. We hit the outlet mall near Kansai airport (I think I mentioned I was going during my consultation). Although I had the colour palette with me, I just kept your advice in my head and went forth and shopped for seven hours straight. 

I walked away with a new wardrobe---at least for summer. Still need to build up my work wardrobe but will do that in August.”

He made perfect choices, lots of cool colours, some lighter pastels, some bold crip hues, and even some fantastic clear patterend shirts. Not to mention some fabulous looking shoes for summer – love it!

Do you know how having a colour analysis works? Using colour theory you can learn all about how your personal colours fits into the system. Once you understand if you look best in something deep or light, soft or clear, or warm or cool you can take our your palette and go shopping for your own colour corrected wardrobe!

With Father’s Day quickly approaching (June 15th if you've forgotten), many ladies are left wondering what to get for the special men in their lives. Men are notoriously difficult to buy gifts for! It always seems that the guys in your life have everything and don’t often express what they really want.

Throughout your life how many ties have you bought your dad? Imagine how many your husband will receive! It is one of the most classic gifts to give, and quite funny as many dads end up with tons and tons of ties. 

If you’re looking for a tie, then this year choose something that is going to look great. A tie can really bring a man’s outfit together, so choose a tie made from a lush well made fabric and in a colour that really suits him.

When something is worn so close to his face it is critical that the colour you choose really complements his colouring. It should also be in a colour and pattern that works with his existing wardrobe, if he likes wearing very sharp suits and colouring, then choose a tie that will work with that contrast. Alternatively if he prefers to wear more muted tones of suit/shirts, then it is best to avoid very loud ties. Consider his personality too! Ties feature a lot of different types of textures, fabrics, and prints. Do you think he wears clothes that suit him?

If he isn’t confident in choosing clothes that suit his body type or is clueless about colour, then the first step is helping him learn! Savvy Style offers consultations just for men, it covers all the essentials for men and makes it so much easier for him. It’s a great gift for guys, give him something he wouldn’t have thought to ask for!

Ladies’ clothing has so many options and variety; it can seem a little daunting how to choose something for men… We’ve done a roundup of some of our favourite ties that you can buy in Hong Kong to make it easy for you!

Tired of buying ties? Lately we have seen some really funky socks in the shops - this trend is hot on the shelves from Korea and Japan! Buy hubby or dad something function and cool with a pair of these socks, they are uber cool but can be hidden under pants for just the right amount of feeling zaney. You can find these socks at Lane Crawford or Harvey Nichols, but specialty Korean shop Åland (Causeway Bay) has an incredible selection of all kinds of cool socks.

Unlike us ladies, men may not talk about their appearance – but it’s a completely normal thing to wonder if you are looking as good as you could. Give him the gift of style this year!
