Find your colours
Creating your own perfect styling is not just about matching edgy clothes together. Everyone who is at least a bit familiar with fashion knows that details are the things what really matter. Colours are another thing you can't neglect. It provides the styling with energy, visually slenders the silhouette and improves a man's attractiveness.
Colours are one of the most fundamental elements of a styling - both in formal and casual wear. So, if you want to experiment with style and fashion, you need to learn a few fashion rules. They will save you from making mistakes and provide an exquisite look.
Regardless of styling, the safest clothes are always those in neutral colours. The apparels that present best are jeans, chino trousers, shirts, hoodies, printed or plain T-shirts in grey, black or white. Another versatile offer is elegant navy blue, which can be used both in casual and formal stylings. Moreover, beige and brown are great among less formal casual or even smart-casual sets.
Toned and faded colours are the safest starters for those who just began their fashion adventure. But, it is not only a choice of the newbies. Minimalists and fans of classic stylings use neutral colours because they appreciate style and have fashion taste. However, even such people should try more expressive and stronger shades. But, it's not so easy – there are plenty of methods of matching colours.
The reliable and safe solution is to stick to the three-colour-rule. Match expressive tints like red, blue or yellow with toned ones like grey or navy blue. Another interesting idea is to blend contrasting colours with each other. Navy blue with red and grey. White with yellow and navy blue. Green with navy blue and white. These are one of the most popular colour settings this season. Earthy colours, red, brown, yellow and orange – they look great matched together. If you want to be sure about having a nice colour blend, place a bet on using different shades of blue.
It's worth to remember about all of it while choosing T-shirts, shirts, chino trousers, a casual suit jacket or a lightweight jacket.
Although the three-colours-rule gives you a broad range of matching possibilities, it's worth to learn how to break it effectively. A stylish look may even consist of five colours or more. The key to success is to learn how to complement a look with accessories. Usually, it's enough to keep an eye on ready sets and then trying experimenting alone. The payback will be doubled. How? With time passing, you will create better and better outfits and at the same time forge your own unique style. So, it's welcome to try more frequently clothing and accessories like handkerchiefs, trainers, colourful caps, printed hoodies or patterned shirts.
Many stylists claim that various factors should be taken into consideration in the process of creating an outfit, not only its colour. Not less important is matching clothes to the person. You need to pay attention to face contrast – it stands for the colour of the skin, hair, eyebrows, facial hairs and eyes. Men who have light complexion and dark hair have high contrast, while low contrast is characteristic for men with light complexion and hair or dark complexion and hair.
To boost up your look, you need to ensure that appropriate colours are close to your face. Actually, black is a colour that fits almost everyone, but it still needs to be checked if it doesn't create the effect of a tired and ashy face. Usually, it's enough to add a colourful detail to a styling, e.g. a checked shirt or a trendy colourful vest, and it's ready.
Surely, you need to avoid using colours which are similar to the skin. Gentlemen with light complexion should give up on wearing beige colours, and those with dark complexion should wear brown shades and olive clothes carefully.
However, it's worth to experiment with pastel and more expressive colours. If you have a low face contrast, grey, blue, navy blue or khaki toned stylings will look stunning. On the other hand, a high face contrast likes to be matched with red and black. Another decent proposition is a styling that consists of contrasting clothes. A navy blue lightweight jacket and jeans fitted with a white hoodie and white sneakers. It's looking nice, isn't it?
It's always worth to remember one old but a reliable trick. If you want to put more interest to your face, place a bet on sunglasses, a cap or a scarf. Such items are eye-catching and nicely complement the entire look.
