It is a known fact that men don’t think of Colors, shades, and hues when they are shopping online as much as women do. This is one of the primary reasons for why women are better shoppers and shop with more confidence. If you are a man who tries different pieces of clothing before picking one rather than just selecting the perfect piece of clothing in the first time, then you need to read this men’s guide to wearing colors. We are sure it will help you become a better shopper and a stylish person.

A Fondness for White and Blue

Men often prefer white and blue shirts or navy blue and charcoal gray suits because these base colors match well with most pieces of shoes, ties, hats, jewelry, etc. If you are tired of wearing those colors day in a day out, then we suggest you read on.

Seek Help from the Color Wheel

If you want to understand colors better, you should memorize this Color Wheel. You should know that the colors which are directly adjacent to each other on this color wheel are associated colors. They allow you to create a monochrome or a nearly-monochrome ensemble such as light blue shirt, dark blue suit and pale purple boutonniere.

Similarly, complementary colors are opposite each other in this color wheel. Men who would like to make a bold statement by wearing bright and noticeable contrast should prefer them. The next thing you ought to know about is triad colors. These three colors are equidistant from one another on this color wheel. Men who are seeking a balanced appearance with less contrast rather than which is present in a complementary arrangement should opt for triad colors.

Men who have lower contrast complexions should also consider triads as they offer multiple colors in an outfit. Make sure you keep the hues fairly muted if you don’t want to end up making a grave style mistake.

Back to Basics

Now that you have learned a bit more about colors, it’s time to understand some basics about colors. You should know that if you are attending a formal or business event, you will do well to avoid bright colors. If you are about to attend an important formal event, you would be smart to stick to the basics like a white shirt with a navy blue or charcoal gray suit.

Similarly, when you pick casual day-to-day business attire, you are allowed to include color in moderation. It can be anything from a pattern on a necktie or a pattern on a shirt.

When you are attending a social event, you should wear whatever looks good on you. Just make sure that you don’t forget the color wheel. Also, you need to understand that brighter colors and the ability to wear more colors should be restricted to informal occasions only.

It is hoped that this simple guide will help you to dress better and smarter from today and would reduce your need to consult with a woman regarding how you look!
