Am I a man? No. Do I even wear Western clothing or men's clothing? Absolutely not. Yet, yet this channel manages to share tips that are so helpful for even me who comes from South Asia and wears South Asian clothes only. And Preston is my favorite. 😍😍 We have a rule here, that those with dark skin tones like mine shouldn't wear purple, because it makes our skin tone look even more dull and highlight the purplish hyperpigmented tones of the skin. But for me personally purple is a top favorite. I always get compliments when I wear purple, and my most favorite sari is my mom's purple and gold sari that I wear at every special event!

Wearing purple can also be entertaining for others if you are colour blind. I am, and often conflate deep purple (not the band) with navy blue, or light purple with grey. I used to wear a sweater with *what I thought* was patterns of navy blue and grey. A colleague commented on my being a brave man for wearing two tones of purple. After a brief census around the workplace I confirmed that I was indeed waring two tones of purple. That night I solemnly burned the sweater while listening to 'smoke on the water' because I knew that for a fact to be Deep Purple.

My favourite colour combination is green and purple, since they're complementary colours, green is my favourite colour so accenting with purple or shades of lavender I find tastefully contrasts with natural greens, and I can pair it with brown leathers while picking up the warm tones. Growing up visiting my parents home country of Wales every year, I always saw purple heather, so the colour combination is also nostalgic for one of my favourite places.

The other is a dark purple solid which works really well with my tan linen vest and charcoal tweed highland jacket, which, while not a staple of Gentlemen's Gazette, is also worn with my black kilt; it's one of my favourite combinations. It's not a common colour here in Atlantic Canada.

I’m a woman and I think that purple is a color that any man can pull off. It gives off a very refined, yet playful look. If I see a man wearing purple, it makes me think that he’s confident, put-together, but still approachable. With that being said, men should feel free to wear any color! I personally don’t subscribe to the belief that colors are “gendered,” as colors are a natural phenomena that different human cultures throughout history have given varying superficial meanings and connotations. If a man looks good in a color, he should wear it. Period.

@keenandarnell65995 жыл бұрын
Purple is one of those awesome colors that can make other garments LOOK like they have purple and/or green in them, when in fact they might not (at least not directly, but rather as an undertone). For example, the purple vest Preston is wearing makes his jacket look like it is green and purple, whereas a brown or orange would not give it that look. I usually wear purple as neck wear and often get compliments when I do!

I truly think so much of this depends on your level of confidence and how natural the color looks on you. I am definitely of a somewhat darker skin tone, so I'm sure this helps, but I wear purple frequently and people rarely are surprised by it or make any comment on it at all. I've owned several purple sport coats, I own several purple ties, multiple purple shirts, sweaters, etc. The only comments I've ever gotten on the sport coats have been that they are surprising, not in their garishness, but in how casual and natural they look on me. If this is a color that you look good in, if this is a color that you can wear with confidence, then I don't think it's necessarily a bold choice. One can be dressed head-to-toe in purple and still remain rather unassuming.
