As a rule, men avoid complex colors. The reason is banal: the inability to combine different colors and create the right images. Meanwhile, simple recommendations will help make your image exclusive and add mood to yourself and those around you.
Capsule wardrobe of a stylish man
In the West, it has long been customary for even millionaires to have capsule wardrobes.
Reference. A capsule wardrobe is the easiest way to get dressed and save a lot of time. It is enough to make the right purchases so that all things fit together.
Even with only 35 pieces of clothing, a man will look much better than 90% of people with huge closets. Among them should be classic items in basic colors that will never go out of style. You can complement the collection by choosing clothes and accessories in more unusual colors.
Complex colors
When choosing colors, most men are extremely conservative. After all, with clothes in black, snow-white, blue or gray, you can create many familiar ensembles.
More original and unusual shades will help you stand out from the general background and create unique images. Next, we’ll look at how to correctly wear 6 shades, which in most cases remain unclaimed.
Pink
Many perceive pink as a gender color and consider it the prerogative of girls. However, it has occupied a leading position in the men's wardrobe for several seasons.
It goes well with beige, chocolate, snow-white, pistachio, emerald and blue. There are also rules for wearing this shade depending on the color type.
People with fair skin should beware of nude shades, which will add facelessness. A dark color, on the contrary, will help balance the complexion. A pink shirt is often worn with a dark blue jacket and tie. A shirt in this color goes well with jeans of different shades and with suits. Pink shorts or trousers will be a great addition for the summer. Pink sneakers and socks will also complement the look.
Reference. In the West at the end of the 19th century, pink was an exclusively masculine color. He became a girl at the behest of traders at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Green
Khaki has firmly and permanently settled in the men's wardrobe. However, here we will talk about other, more extravagant shades of green. Regardless of brightness, green will always look great with blue, white and gray.
Military color is combined with brown and mustard. You can buy outerwear and trousers in green shades. It is useful to have a shirt with short sleeves and shorts. When choosing clothes, you should be guided by the following tips:
- for pale skin, it is better to choose deeper shades, such as bottle green;
- people with olive skin should avoid the same colors in clothing;
- For those with darker skin, bold and eye-catching colors, such as jade, are suitable.
Important! Green accessories will make the look more interesting. These can be socks, scarves, nose caps and other things.
Brown
Blue is considered the ideal companion to brown. It is in this combination that blue reveals its depth to the maximum, and brown looks solemn and luxurious.
Paired with brown, things that look good are green, red, mustard and milky. It's worth taking a closer look at corduroy trousers in this color, a jacket, a camel wool jumper and a pair of boots. Only people with olive and dark skin should wear it carefully: they will look pale.
Orange
Many people associate orange with bright Halloween outfits. However, orange also has more earthy shades that will help create a spectacular look. This color can be worn at any time of the year.
Advice. The easiest option is to add a pop of color to a plain gray or blue suit with an orange tie or scarf. There are beautiful knitwear and outerwear in this color.
Among the variety of shades, everyone can choose the right one for themselves. People with fair skin should use rust colors and with darker skin – terracotta or coral. Neutral shades such as gray, black and dark blue balance orange well.
Violet
This color provides great opportunities for expanding the color palette. The easiest way is to use purple as an accent component. You can choose a tie or scarf.
You can combine them with suits of neutral colors and light shirts.
You shouldn't dress in this shade from head to toe. It looks advantageous with beige, gray, all shades of blue and blue-green.
A purple shirt will complement a blue or dark blue suit. To achieve more extravagance, you can buy a purple jacket or trousers. In any case, the color should be contrasting to your skin type.
Reference. Purple has long been considered the color of intellectuals and the choice of royalty.
Yellow
This color is considered one of the most difficult. Therefore yellow often avoided even by seasoned fashionistas. It should be used carefully and in doses when combined with white, nude and gray.
It is especially difficult to choose a shade of yellow for fair skin. For those with dark skin, you can try dark shades such as gold and mustard.
Advice. You should avoid those options that will make the image faceless.
Pay attention to yellow polos, T-shirts, sweaters and shorts. They look perfect with blue and blue clothes. Yellow sneakers look great with blue jeans.
How to combine colors?
The right combination of colors is one of the important components of a spectacular meadow. You can use the color wheel and tips from experienced stylists. However, an important role is played by a person’s inner instinct and his degree of comfort in one or another clothing. A special role should be given to the color type and body composition.
There are colors and combinations that noticeably make you look fatter or, conversely, visually increase your height and make you look slimmer. It is also important to take into account the format of the event for which the costume is selected.
Important! Colors should complement each other, set accents, make the figure more attractive, hiding flaws and emphasizing advantages.
Every man can diversify his image with the help of interesting and unusual colors. You shouldn’t deny yourself the pleasure of looking stylish because you don’t know the basics of color combinations. You can always take the advice of image makers and, of course, don’t be afraid to experiment.
