"The darker your skin tone, the brighter the color you
can get away with." I actually just read this quote out of nowhere and
think of many things; thoughts coming out randomly. So instead of letting it
why not blog it. Just bear with me 'cause I might take off my self on this just
because a random thought appears.
Mix and match is actually a typical fashion style for men
but what lacking them is the spice on getting there wardrobe more exciting. Now
let's talk more on getting your typical color combination on clothes extra
cool. Let us know AskMen has to say on these with a little touch of my
thoughts.
Gentlemen, to truly master the art of dressing, we must
become learned individuals on the basics of color coordination. And learning to
combine colors isn’t as difficult as you might think. A complete understanding
of color and the color wheel is a time-consuming lesson, but thankfully an
easier, more basic way for coordinating colors exists. While numerous, more
complex rules are out there, here are five easy-to-use rules for color
coordination.
White shirts go with everything
When all else fails, raise a white flag. A white shirt works
with absolutely anything you have, especially those uniquely colored items
you’re not sure how to match. Couple it with a bright, patterned tie or wear it
under a pastel-colored V-neck sweater; either way you're looking sharp and perfectly coordinated. A classic,
well-fitting white shirt is timeless, worth its weight in gold, and sure to
keep you on the front line of fashion.
Gray complements bright colors
Use gray to control any experiment with color. Great for
dulling down vivid colors, gray works well with almost any color out there. So,
if you want to test the waters or add a punch of color without going overboard,
use something gray (pants, sweater, jacket) to manage the boldness of stronger,
brighter colors. Not only will you earn kudos for your strategic stylish use of
color, but gray itself is a smart, sophisticated color that’s cool, classic and
chic.
Don’t wear colored pants
No matter who you are, resist the urge to wear colored
pants. Pants (slacks, chinos, jeans, etc.) are the one area of your wardrobe
where you should always resist a color infusion. Loudly colored pants are
clownish and obnoxious; never should your pants be more attention-grabbing than
a shirt or tie. Since pants provide the foundation for every outfit, they
should always appear understated, polished and refined: blue jeans and
neutral-colored slacks only.
Wear different colors of the same value
For best results, all the colors in any one outfit should
match in terms of their value. As a basic color concept, “value” represents the
degree of lightness or darkness expressed in every color. One helpful trick is
to imagine how the colors you’re using would appear in a black-and-white photo;
colors that would have a similar gray scale are the ones to combine. Or, most
obvious of all, you can simply pair bright colors with bright colors, pastels
with pastels, etc.
Use complementary colors
Pull in countless compliments by pairing complementary
colors. Colors directly opposite one another on the color wheel are considered
complementary: red and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange. Matching
complementary colors together is a sign of a confident, knowledgeable dresser,
and doing so creates an impressive, color-rich palette. Go for gusto and wear an
elegant orange tie with a tasteful blue checked shirt for a modern,
sophisticated look.
Crash course on color
Coordinating colors can be a tricky business. But the fact
remains that this is something we all must learn to do, even if on a very basic
scale. That’s why the five simple tips above can serve as general rules of
thumb to get you started. Go ahead and give it a try; prove to yourself and the
world around you that you’re a snappy dresser with the color-coordination
skills necessary to mix and match your way to a more dapper, color-savvy style.
