Let’s be real - most of us stick to the classic colors in our wardrobes: black, gray, white, maybe some navy. But summer is the perfect season to venture into bolder, fresher territory. These three colors are stylish, versatile, and surprisingly easy to wear.
Pink
In the West, they say, "Real men wear pink." Historically, pink was actually considered a power color for men up until the late 19th century. From pastel to hot pink, this color pairs effortlessly with staples like brown, beige, blue, white, and dark green.
The key to pulling off pink is to select shades that don’t clash with your skin tone. Fair-skinned? Go for brighter pinks. Darker complexion? Softer pinks can work wonders.
A pink shirt is the most versatile option, but pink shorts and even socks can be a refreshing choice in warmer weather.
Easy to pair with: Reds (including brown), beige, white, blue, and dark green.
Green
We tend to stick to khaki, but there’s a world of green shades to explore. Almost any green pairs well with blue, white, and gray, making it both stylish and bold. For those military-inspired dark greens, earthy colors like brown or mustard are ideal pairings.
This summer, try mint green shirts or shorts. Or, if you’re feeling bold, go for accessories in a lively lime green - sneakers in this shade can make a statement too. Green’s close relationship with yellow makes it a flattering choice for many skin tones, especially if you lean towards blue-tinged greens.
Easy to pair with: Blue, white, and gray.
Yellow
Yellow isn’t typically a go-to for men’s fashion, but summer is the best time to make it work. This bright, eye-catching color can look amazing, especially when balanced with neutrals like white, blue, gray, beige, and charcoal.
For those with yellow undertones, go for brighter shades rather than those that match your skin tone. Yellow T-shirts, polos, shorts, or chinos can bring a fresh look to your wardrobe, and yellow sneakers are a fun, unexpected touch.
Easy to pair with: Neutrals and navy blue.
Give these colors a try to shake up your summer wardrobe!
