The Basics You Need to Know About Color Coordination for Men's Clothing
It may seem like a simple topic – yet so many people are still making basic mistakes, and some never even THINK about “color coordination” when they get dressed in the morning.
This is a big topic, and just mastering the basics can make you a better dressed man in 4 days or 1 week of experience.
Start practicing with the very basics.
Start by noting down the basic rules and experimenting with them. Patience will give you great experiences and reflexes without having to force yourself or cram too many rules.
Learn and use the color wheel
You must know what the nature of color associations are and how they enhance or neutralize each other.
Once you understand these relationships, you will begin to see how certain colors work together.
It's not as simple as MATCHING similar colors together. It gets complicated because some combinations automatically look good and some clash.
Some tips for you:
1. Print out this color wheel
2. Analogous colors can work together, but make sure they have similar values - "value" represents how much lightness or darkness is present in each color.
3. Pairing complementary colors together is the sign of a confident, knowledgeable dresser and doing so will create a rich, dramatic color palette.
4. As a general rule, you don’t want more than THREE colors in your outfit. So stick to three colors to incorporate throughout your outfit. Any more than that and it starts to get risky.
5. Use colors that match your skin tone. Try different colors that match your skin tone and create a color palette that works best for you. Also, get opinions from people around you.
6. Monochromatic look is always safe.
7. Lighter and darker shades of the same color can often look good together, creating a monochromatic effect.
Keep these things in mind as you prepare your outfit for tomorrow and start experimenting with color matching TODAY.
