The Best Clothing Colors for Men | Why You Should Wear Neutral Colors

[@PRSRod]

Unlike pretty much of style channels nowadays, your channel has not turned itself into a marketing channel and your videos are still pretty rich in content. Thank you for your work Brock, your channel rocks!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thank you sir 🙏

Ahmed Afzal Tmf has good videos, but he’s not such a great person.

[@danlightened]

As a lover of minimalism and understated elegance, this is like a capsule wardrobe but classy but casual minimalists.

[@MicahB68]

This literally is one of the best mens fashion videos I have ever seen. Thanks Brock. The modest, minimal fashion you provide ideology on is lost in todays society. Where hypebeasts and streetwear has really taken over. I must admit I love streetwear but after watching your videos I have really been able to go out buy a few pieces and add them to a wardrobe that goes from day to night very easily. Which is ideal with my work schedule. Keep up the good work...

[@calebling6607]

This wasn't just great content, but the way that you communicated your message was also effective! It was a great use of pictures and image movement to help us visualize your thoughts. I'd recommend continuing these techniques in your videos.

[@pallavkumardev]

One of the most underrated youtuber

[@tartsstealth4186]

His voice is perfect, he’s not yelling or clout advertising. 👌🏾

[@zaamrod50]

The best video you’ve done yet. What separates you from the rest, is that you are humble and, appropriately, modest

[@edgarramos4830]

Your videos are awesome, your advices are very professional but I feel like you're giving casual advice as if we were taking in person. The best fashion blogger in my opinion.

[@garretweaver7875]

I really agree with his point about low contrast, and in my opinion the lighter that your skin complexion is the most important the low contrast "rule" becomes.

[@brandon23471]

Thank you for giving a nice layout of a "starter wardrobe". Gives me something to work toward instead of choosing my own haha.

[@LastTimeLord12]

The quality, advice and information in this video is super helpful, and its just really well done in general. Thanks again for providing quality content, Brock! Especially the wardrobe example at the end. Oh, and much respect for not trying to sell me something for 2/3 of the video P.S. I love the interaction you have with your audience, shows that you care

[@tkirk3660]

I just wanted to buy a hoodie. Now I feel bad because I don't own a field jacket, chinos, Chelsea boots, dress socks etc. I'm just going with the black hoodie lmao

[@element720]

Well-done! I figured this neutral pallet out when I was around 25. Basically, it’s hard to make two strong colors work in the same outfit (ie purple pants and orange shirt), so neutral colors are the true foundation of any men’s wardrobe.

[@laufeysullivan6594]

I do my best to maintain a minimal wardrobe that covers all my bases and this, this video gentleman, is gold. Brock, thank you for your contributions.

[@NeilNatic]

This is one of the best style you tube videos to come put in a long time - even more true from the long time style bloggers. Well done Brock.

[@miporsche]

I've always been a shy person, but, I've always had an affinity for bright, bold colors (common--strange how the mind works). When I look at my friends who dress in more understated neutrals, I think they have such a good look and natural style. Thanks for the video, for spelling it out for me. I'm undergoing a change of style. My wife is already pleased.

[@Gregory-ud6zq]

THANK YOU I have been looking for this type of info for 3 days now and your video just filled all my needs, you’re awesome

[@drlatham22]

Good advice on color choices; vivid colors have their place in some summer clothing, but are difficult to incorporate into an everyday, all-year wardrobe.

[@westfieldartworks8188]

I might be repeating myself. I apologize if I am. But the gray/neutral colors in the world of oil painting are referred to as " the beautiful grays." They are mysterious and they actually change throughout the day as the light changes. Strong color is actually more stationary. If you wear too much strong color, it saturates the retina very quickly forcing the viewer to turn away. Strong color grabs the attention quickly, but then loses it just as quickly.. Guys who try to ' peacock " and draw attention by wearing loads of color can actually create the opposite effect they intended.

[@Chairman7w]

As Frank Lucas said, "The loudest guy in the room, is the weakest guy in the room."

[@westfieldartworks8188]

Good point, Chairman7w!

[@MrStrutxD]

Where can i read about this?

[@westfieldartworks8188]

You can google the science of color and how it affects the retina of the eye. Strong color is great in small doses. If you look at any great painting in Art, you will see that 80-90% of the canvas is composed of grays....with only small bits of strong intense color. The only images you see that are strong in color are advertisements; they are designed to grab your attention quickly, knowing full well that you will turn away after a second or so. The Pepsi sign is a good example. IF you want to hold a viewers attention, you have to be careful with the amount of strong color you cover yourself with. The grays are really where it's at. Grays, good texture, and fit. A small pop of color is generally best But yeah, Kubensis, google strong color and how it affects they eye....and your brain which is attached to the eye of course by way of the optic nerve. It's fascinating. .

[@MrStrutxD]

That was really nice to read, great job finding that information, and adopting it, it's impressive. It reminds me of the watch i want to get to add a small pop of color to my wardrobe, i have mostly all greyscale and navy, but i wanted this - i.pinimg.com/474x/e9/cd/25/e9cd2578e6b58e3120be6a8eaf760ba2--lizards-seiko.jpg it's the sheiko serb 033 with a green lizard skin strap. too bad the serb 033 is discontinued.

[@SurferKroky]

This is great advice ! Love your channel

[@norymaldonado517]

I keep sending these videos to my husband, who started a new position that is more "client facing" than before. Love your style!!

The visuals at 5:56 was really helpful for me to picture it all at one time. Nothing wrong with the slide show of course.

Great video. I love the way you tied it in at the end with the visual of different pieces of clothing. Thank you for uploading.

[@jedi304]

Your content is always spot on, and I've been applying it to my everyday life. I've been following you for awhile now and you truly deserve more viewers and subscribers.

[@naibgulam2336]

One of your best videos yet Brock! Keep up the great work!!

[@WyvernX_]

One of your best videos to date, I find myself coming back to it quite often and it has definitely helped me out the most in my "style" journey with color blocking. I remember owning nothing but bright colored shirts and like you said very individual pieces when I first started that I'd have so much trouble putting together with my other clothes. It's always good to remind myself of the basics, you're the man Brock!

[@samuelboonkhenglee8374]

One of the best videos I have seen in recent years on colour matching. Nothing too technical like some vids which are so hard to understanding matching this and that and ...

[@Phanatik82]

You sir are a genius!! Best advice on styling clothes that I've heard so far so I'm definitely subscribing!

[@gordongraham7]

I just took copious notes because I desperately need new clothes and want an interchangeable wardrobe. I'm CLUELESS about how to mix and match colors so this was VERY helpful. Thank you!

[@TheBlackranger63]

This works well for taller guys too - 6’2” and love your channel! Wearing grey and blue today!

[@pebre79]

Very insightful and great videography and graphics. I admire the work you put into making such high quality videos. You the man, Brock!

[@drewski5150]

Really solid advice, Brock. My fashion sense is a little more on the rock or casual side, but the colour palette advice is equally applicable. It also makes buying new clothes less risky. If I see a pair of navy/grey sneakers I like, I don't have to worry about whether it will fit in with other clothes if I already have jeans, shirts and t-shirts in shades of grey and blue. Same goes for having black, burgundy, olive in your wardrobe.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Exactly! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@saloksingh7]

This is like just the 3rd or 4th video that I've watched of TMM, and let me tell you this, Brock is legit the best guy to follow for style and fashion on KZbin. Period. So chill and with good Sense of Humour. Love you already bro. P. S. He doesn't go ranting about the sponsors for 2 minutes. Like whattt??

[@nicoleroymiranda8818]

It's an eye opener for me, that makes me more interested to pick neutral colors!! Keep posting helpful videos!!! Bravo!!!

[@khediraze3943]

Very nice video man. I just noted a few mistakes I've making with my wardrobe (like the high contrast making me shorter) that I've never even noticed. Great stuff!

[@victorydiaz11]

Binge watching right now, motivates me to try to make videos and show people the things turn a man into a gentleman

[@markwalter4881]

Using Neutrals is the best course. It makes shopping a breeze. It makes layering a breeze. It is almost impossible to mess up. When you use them consider the 60:30:10 outfit rule: 60% of your outfit is one color. 30% of your outfit is a supporting color. 10% of your outfit is the highlight color. An example of this rule would could be a Navy Suit supported by a white shirt with a true red color tie.

[@silaakkidumma]

Wow...just wow man for your presentation, pretty neat and clean, great content.

[@leiyoh3311]

@2:55 "So if you have a neutral outfit and you want to stand out; you want to add a splash of color. You can do that by adding an accessory." First thing that comes to mind is the dog in the photo.... curse my fashion sense!

[@HardBodyHanksubject0]

I loled

[@JRSnyderJrAZ]

Right at the beginning! "neutral colors...any man regardless of age, body type, skin tone or style preferences." In Seventies parlance: right on.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Right on!

[@dok9415]

Truely,a modest and fashionable man , keep up the great work.

[@mimaesthetic2517]

I'm a woman, all the colourful stuff is in my tops and dresses/one pieces, all bottoms, outerwear and shoes and bags are neutral/black/white which means everything will always match and nothing will clash. If you want to bring colour in and still have a versatile wardrobe, add colour to ONE category of clothing 99% of the time.

[@TheDapperManUS]

Fantastic video. One of the hardest things for me to learn are color combos. As a larger guy it can be difficult to look good. Plus my wardrobe is all over the place from graphic tees to suits. So I’m trying to consolidate my style away from the tee shirt side of things.

[@LuisManuelSandoval]

Great video, learning a lot watching your channel. Keep the hard work, very appreciated

[@bamaloo6791]

That burgundy suit is amazing!

[@Myrslokstok]

Perfectly corect, thanks! Burgundy or the dark colors works great with all the neutrals. Versatility is key, great differenses in neutral colors and materials gets you a lot of chioces.

[@iki3234]

You nailed it with this video, you answered all the questions it takes 5 to 10 similar videos to address. Very rich content. 👍

[@ProgressivePatriot28]

Hey Brock, I've been here for a little while and came over from RMRS. Even though I'm kind of your polar opposite size: 6'6", 315 with a huge chest and legs, I find that your style advice fits me well, no pun intended. It's really helped me build my wardrobe in between beach casual (I grew up in a beach city so this is all I used to wear) and business formal. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the good work!

Your videos are cool Brock, very innovative, incredibly helpful and you've not succumbed to product marketing gimmicks in every video as of yet, which most other youtubers do and its really annoying sometimes. Keep up the good work mate. All the best.

[@rickmancini9859]

This is a terrific video especially for an older gentleman like myself. We fall into the habit of always pairing the same colors. Great advice on how to switch things up and still remain conservative.

[@JohnnyTrulove]

Thanks for the video and tips. I went over by wardrobe pretty comprehensively in the last couple of years. I found that many of the logo or brandings on t shirts, polo's and sweatshirts were not as versatile for me. It was a time where I wanted to show a polo placket's distinct check patter, or a my "going out" and "clubbing" button front shirts where so exagerated in details like printing inside the cuffs and detailed stitches on the collar that I would wear them once and that's it. Now I stick with charcoal, black, white for basics. Chocolate brown, navy, charcoal, olive and burgundy for some color, and I gotta say that most of my clothing goes very well with the other pieces. From casual to smarter fit I do: pocket t, henley, work shirt button front, ocbd, dress shirt. I have each piece in both M and L depending on the fit I want to have will be more relaxed or smarter fit.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

The more you think about your clothing choices in the beginning, the less you have to think about them when you get dressed (and the better you will look)

[@startwiththeheart]

Great content some sound advice . the only thing i think that needs to be added is skin undertone. you have to choose your neutral colors in a warm tone or cool tone depending on the undertone of your skin. for example I have a warm skin undertone and its optimal for my skin to wear a warm toned cream white than pure bright white and a rust brown or chocolate brown instead of a classic cool toned beige. even down to Navy blue is more complementary to my warmer tone skin than black because warm tones have yellow undertone which can make the skin tone more peachy in fair skin tones which orange and blue are opposites on the color wheel so they are complementary where as cool tones have a blue undertone which will complement black better do to its stark lack of warmth which will be complementary to cool tones in the way a stark black and white look good together. and no matter what your skin from very pale to very deep everyone has either cool or warm undertones so deff something to keep in mind if you wan't to wear the optimal complementary neutrals

Awesome teaching of the fundamentals of developing a wardrobe. I've stuck to dark neutrals colours for most of my life (ie: Black and Dark blue). And I've recently branch out, buying yellow chukkas and tan Chinos, and I've been looking for a nice way to complete the upper half. This video helps a lot to help understand the lighter half of the neutral colour palette. Thanks.

[@JT-rx1eo]

I choose color pallets based on matching to my fragrances. I'm a FragHead so its scent driving sartorial. For example, Terre d'Hermes with its "dirty" orange, brown spices and orangey-brown spices match well with autumnal colors like burnt orange, rust and brown. A Fougere like Tom Ford Beau de Jour or fig leaf scent like Dior Dune, greens. Guerlain Homme? mint green.

[@cesarguerilla]

Great video! The Clothing list is very well put together, I might get rid of a few items in my wardrobe and replace them with more neutral stuff like light grey and olive.
