The clothing and colors of the casual men

If you're reading this, you're probably a tad confused about color matching your clothes. There's a good chance you asked yourself at some point, "Does this colour shirt go with that colour pants?" or "Do these colours match, or do I look ridiculous?"Don't worry, and you're not alone. Usually, guys have a tough time figuring out what colors go together when it comes to clothes. It's one of the most common questions I get! It's not always so intuitive when trying to combine shirts, pants, and shoes in different colours. So I put together this article with easy-to-follow guidelines and tips, plus a colour chart for clothes, if you're more of a visual person, so you're never unsure how to match your clothes again. FIGURING OUT WHAT COLOR CLOTHES GO together, so here's the basic idea. I'm keeping this as simple as possible—four things to keep in mind.#menswearneutrals. Menswear neutrals are the KEY to outfits that ALWAYS "match" and never clash. Learn these, memorize them, and use them. Watch the video above to see what I mean. 

Contrast is key. You want a good amount of comparison among the three. Light top, dark bottom, light shoes. Dark top, light bottom, dark shoes. Avoid tonal outfits (all three pieces are the same colour or close in value). It can be pulled off successfully but also has the possibility of looking terrible. It's a more advanced style concept which we'll cover in a different article. Avoid tops that are too close to your skin tone. It makes you appear pale and washed out. Read this article for a more in-depth explanation. HERE'S THE COLOR-MATCHING CHART FOR MEN (SAVE IT FOR REFERENCE LATER). The whole idea is to show you how easy it is to pair shirts and pants and how to finish off the outfit with shoes. Now you won't have to ask yourself what color clothes go together constantly… use this chart, and you'll have (practically) endless possibilities.

HOW TO READ THE COLOR-MATCHING CHART

Top Section: You have your pants, shirts, and shoes. I labelled shoes A, pants B, and shirts C. (You'll see why in a minute.) This makes up your base outfit, with every color I'm using in this example.

Pants Out! For every outfit example, I started each outfit with the pants as the base. Most of us choose a pair of pants first, then a shirt, then the mid-layer, shoes, a jacket, etc.

Bottom Section: Each column = one pair of pants. Look at each column from top to bottom to see the different options for each pair of pants. I labelled each column B1-B5, with one pair of pants per column.

A small selection of what's possible: The choices that don't make a trying to keep this simple. In reality, there are many more possible combinations! But try these first. 

Interchangeable and versatile: Almost every shirt/pants/shoe combo within each group of three is alike, so don't feel stuck with these exact match-ups.
