Hi, Befuddled,
Chocolate brown is a good slimming color that the stores have now.
Depending on your hair and other coloring, it can be flattering.

I tend to look better if my top and bottom pieces are the same color.

I stay away from vests.

A color that looks good on nearly everybody: aqua.

Guys sometimes like earings with a little bit of movement in them -- dangling for example. Also, if you want to push the limits you could get a top with some texture -- like raised patterns, or small cut outs,


The most important thing is to find something that makes you feel good and that is flattering on you. Get help from people at the store.


Have fun.
Mari
