HOW TO MIX AND MATCH CLOTHING COLORS FOR MEN [Everything You Need to Know]

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is about colors & clothes. This in-depth style guide has everything you need to know about how to mix and match clothing colors, and maybe even master it.

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.

It's rare to find youtubers that handles fashion talk about color combo. You, Modest Man, & Tim Dessaint are the only people that talk about this topic. Thank you it helps a lot! 😁

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. You included great pictures to highlight the points that you were making. I love seeing color added to men's wardrobes.

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.

Absolutely eye opening! Thank you very much for this comprehensive guide! I am good to go now!!! 🛍️

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.

I really enjoyed this deep detailed and integral tutorial ... Thanks a lot

[mikhailmarinov]

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.

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

[James-idxq]

So would you be a medium/high contrast?

[seyiakinbade]

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

[Manuel]

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.
