Spring is almost here, and that means it’s time to pack away the blacks and greys, and bring out the colour. Colour is undoubtedly trickier for men then it is for women, but if you follow the guidelines in this article you can be sure that your wardrobe will have a nice injection of colour this spring.
Add Pop, One Piece at a Time
That’s right folks, unless you want to look like the court jester stick to just one brightly coloured piece of interest to add pop to your outfit. The rest of your outfit should be relatively neutral so that your brightly coloured item draws all the attention.
Colour to Accessorize
The greatest way to infuse colour into your wardrobe is to focus on the accessories. The next time you go shopping, be on the lookout for coloured belts, as they are the ideal accessory to break up the monochromatic look of your shirt and trousers.
Money Talks
Generally speaking the more costly the garment, the richer the colour will be because of the expensive colour treatment processes that were used to attain the colour. Not just the dying process, but the fabric will also likely be of higher quality in order to absorb the dye.
Layer the Love
Something that people who are new to the world of colour often forget, and we can’t stress enough...layer your clothes to pull off the colour look with style!
Complement Your Skin Tone
If you are fortunate enough to have a darker skin tone you can get away with a bolder colour to add some flash to your outfit. Those with fair or extremely light skin will look ghostly white and pasty if they wear such vivid colours, so keep this information in mind.
Family Matters
You can wear whatever colour you like, but make sure that your pieces are from the same or adjacent colour families unless you want to look the motley fool.
