New Age Color For The Modern Man

New Age Color For The Modern ManTraditionally colors, may it be in clothes, furnishings or more recently the web (frankly anything) was the domain of women. Well not any more the modern man is stepping up, choosing his style and color.
Previously colors were thought to be either feminine or masculine; in fact you wouldn’t catch a guy dead in pink or purple as they stood for feminine colors. But men nowadays are ready to experiment with colors in clothes as well as their surroundings; anything goes from pink shirts to purple cars.
A well dressed man in any shade of color can make a woman weak in the knees (I mean just imagine Brad Pitt in a Tux with a pink shirt). When a man knows how to use colors he can create a strong impact that will not only reflect his style but his personality as well.

Business colors
There is a sad fact that the modern man may be ready to explore color but the not so modern Boss is not. So you need to dress accordingly for work, but that does not mean you have to dress boringly in colors that do not suit your personality. Suits in Colors like charcoal gray, black, khaki, navy blue or French blue and shades of brown can be teemed with maroons, jade green or forest green, wine tones, grape tones, peach tones and very light pink in ties and shirts for a contemporary look. (you can even add splashes of orange, red or yellow)

Leisure Colors
When it comes to leisure you can be your own Boss, try any color with any combo (but please be tasteful).  Try Khaki pants with an orange jacket and white shirt or go for a purple silk shirt with casual grey trousers, or you can simply wear your staple blue jeans with a variety of new shades in T-shirts say pink, soft greens, or even tie and die styles. You can be funky, sensual, sober or dashing with just a twist of color and a multitude of shades. So go for it.

Color Decoded

Color DecodedIf you never look quite right in your clothes, there’s a strong chance you’re simply not wearing the right colors. Colors can do anything, black or dark colors hide flaws, and colors can also accentuate your looks and body. And much more. If you want to know more, shell out some time and read the article:
1. Look Taller
Wear light colored tops with darker colored lowers. When wearing jeans, ensure that it is low waist as this gives you an illusion of having a proportionate build. Style tip: white T-shirt looks awesome in summers
2. Look Fuller
Wear light colors like beige, white and pastel tones of pink, blue, grey and green. Dress in layers-shirts with jackets and trousers for the office and T-shirts, under shirts and a pair of jeans when you are at home.

3. For Wheatish Complexions
Colors like blue, army green, beige and chocolate brown compliment Wheatish skin tones. When wearing prints, ensure that the color of the print doesn’t contrast with the base color of the garment. Instead, look out for prints with different tones in the same color family.

4. Look Leaner:
Wear dark-colored high-waist straight-cut trousers and team them with light-colored shirts. Avoid loose fit trousers and shirts that droop at the shoulder and always opt for a fitted and structured fit for your clothes.

5. If you have pale skin tone…
Wear strong colors like orange, turquoise, red and purple. You can mix and contrast two strong colors together but never mix cold colors with warm colors. Lounge pajamas and comfort-fit trousers are for you!

6. If you have a dark skin…
Wear lots of whites, blacks, olive green, light grey or metallic tones of copper and silver. Remember; less is always more when it comes to embellishments.

Color Me Bad!

ColorThough it is great to pay attention to which shades suit you and which shade pairs best with another one, it is also great fun to try and understand the associations that each color you choose to wear has. Maybe you can then express your personality in shades that are associated with your particular traits.
 
Red

Red, like I said before, is synonymous to passion, attention and dominance. If you add a dash of red in your wardrobe, you will feel energetic, happy but make sure it’s a cooler day otherwise it can trigger anger as well!
 
Black
 
A man who sports black implies confidence, authority, sophistication and class. If you combine black with the right shades and wear it properly, it can also look austere and simple. 
 
White
 
Spotless white, when worn, implies that the person wearing it has a high social status. White clothing is a sign of virtue and can give you an extremely clean appearance.

Pink Or Peach

It has both energetic and calming qualities and also projects a man who is secure in his sense of self and is not afraid to experiment with what is perceived as a feminine color. 
 
Blue

Blue, again a very popular color in men’s fashion, implies that the person wearing it is a warm and honest person. It can also convey that the guy is someone who is serious and intelligent.
 
Yellow

A dash of yellow to your outfit can cheer up your look.

Burgundy

Colors like burgundy also convey a sense of status and high class.
 
Earthy Colors

Earthy colors like green and brown look terrific on men, especially in the winters.
