A man’s wardrobe is generally filled with clothes that are above all practical. Everyone has a few shirts, jeans, pants, and T-shirts in their wardrobe. But how varied are the colors of your outfits? Do you find yourself always buying the same safe colors, or does your wardrobe need refreshing? This article briefly discusses 4 ways to wear more colors:
1. What suits you best?
You can take a critical look at the colors that suit you best. It’s not about knowing what your favorite color is, but about what colors suit your hair, eyes, and skin. This is generally based on color types named after the seasons:
- Cool, vivid, and dark colors suit winter types. These are people with a rosy to dark brown complexion.
- Spring types are people with fair skin with yellow or ivory undertones. They benefit from warm, light, and bright colors.
- Despite their name, summer types (porcelain skin with a reddish undertone) are best suited to cool and muted colors, not too dark.
- Men with fair to beige skin are autumn types. Warm, dark, and muted colors suit them best.
2. Start with the essentials
Sometimes it’s best to start from the beginning. By keeping in mind the colors that work well together, you can quickly put together stylish outfits. For example, the neutral colors white, gray, and black pair well with the primary colors red, blue, and yellow. If these colors are too bold for your taste, choose a shade. For example, burgundy or olive green. Pastel colors suit all skin tones and can give your outfit the right touch of sophistication. Ultimately, it’s about combining in moderation, so try to limit the number of color combinations. By the way, a tone-on-tone outfit can also be elegant!
3. What do you project?
We don’t always think about it, but the colors we wear tell their own story. When you know this, you can use colors to your advantage. For example, red is originally a powerful color that exudes dominance, while pink represents an open attitude. Blue is a traditional color in the business world and therefore synonymous with responsibility. Yellow, on the other hand, is a color that draws attention and is thus suitable for projecting optimism. Moreover, black is the color synonymous with elegance. By playing with this, you will always be able to make a good impression.
4. Keep experimenting
Tastes differ, so it’s always a matter of trying what suits you best. Don’t be frustrated if it doesn’t work right away. Above all, listen to your own feelings and what suits you. If you’re still unsure, you can always ask for help from your family, friends, and colleagues to find out which colors suit you best. Also, there is nothing wrong with buying specific colors for different occasions. For example, Hugo Boss polos are available in various colors, from anthracite to bright yellow, making them ideal for business and informal outfits.
