Why Color Matters
As a rule, most men are firmly convinced that the ability to dress well refers only to the "fragile" half of humanity-women, and men shouldn't bother to dress the part. However, learning to correctly combine colors is far from just a superfluous skill.
A modern man should strive to create a holistic, harmonious image that's going to delight the eye and match the mood, situation, and tell others who you are or who you want to be.
One of the main components of developing your personal style and dressing well is by choosing the correct colors. Some men are convinced that only expensive jackets, shirts, and ties from the most fashionable, high-end designers will look great (and they could) BUT they're not going to create your outfit's desired effect if you fail to choose the right and the appropriate colors.
Moreover, an unsuccessful combination of colors, as well as an excessive amount of them, can create a faceless image-worse yet-repulsive one. You can call the correct variety of colors an art that anyone-yes, even you-can master.

[@Aritul]

[@andreleverettejr3747]

I was a natural with color matching, for me it was acquiring the pieces that I like for combos, once I had those it was easy my hard issue is I have a few holes or not a complete set of accessories in my wardrobe but ill get there.

[@gentwithin]

good stuff!

[@mac_vegas7026]

Great content

[@gentwithin]

thanks!

[@seyiakinbade7784]

@gentwithin I have a purple strip shirt with white, what colour or pant or jean should i match with this.?

[@James-id5xq]

So would you be a medium/high contrast?

[@JNB0723]

All great, but what about the difference between layers. For example, if I have a grey chamois, then you would want to wear a white, light green, and black second layer.

[@robo2606]

I'm a photographer and teacher. You have a great knowledge of colours. What's your occupation if I may ask? Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@gentwithin]

I have a design background

[@Manuel421]

Do you prefer a Harrington or Bomber jacket? I think you can't go wrong with either but not really sure which one would be considered more elegant. I imagine probably the Harrington though but anyway excellent content.

[@CCLovejoy96]

I may not be Khoi, But I’d say the Harrington. Bombers are a good choice but to me say “I’m younger” I prefer Harrington’s for the Caller. Same with shirt jackets. I prefer those with a non cropped hem. They look a bit more classy than a bomber. Hope this helps! 😊

[@Manuel421]

@@CCLovejoy96 I appreciate the insight. Without saying my exact age I'm in my 30's so lately have been maturing my wardrobe to more classic style and trying to drift away from some of the garments I wore in school with the exception of certain pieces though. My brother is more the flannel shirt and shirt jacket wearer these days so I prefer to do my own thing with dress shirts and other casual button downs. Any decent brands for a Harrington? I saw a nice one that Orviss makes.

[@gentwithin]

Harrington is more 'elegant' and is the smarter option. Bomber is slightly more casual. Both are excellent options.

[@Manuel421]

@@gentwithin Yeah I figured. I appreciate the feedback Koi thank you! I actually ordered myself a Harrington but sadly I found it big on me so next time I will size down. Hopefully I can still layer underneath a size small jacket though. However for now I continue using a bomber jacket that my brother let me keep.

[@fmfdocbotl4358]

​@@Manuel421 I'm in my 50s and wear both depending on what I'm doing.

Are you Filipino?

[@ShanesAlot]

Convinced you guys don’t sweat or have heat reception

[@mikhailmarinov8]

Crazy.. I have noticed throughout years that most of clothes i buy are 4 main colors. Navy blue, grey, black, brown.. And once in a blue moon some form of green.. More like greyish green. Its super easy then to mix match them amongst themselves.
