Let’s face it - when it comes to choosing colors for our outfits, most men stick to the usual suspects: black, gray, white, and maybe a bit of blue.
While these classic choices always work, summer is the perfect time to inject a little more color into your wardrobe. Don't worry, we're not talking anything too wild - just bold shades that are both attractive and easy to wear.
Here are three colors you should consider rocking this summer:
Pink
You’ve probably heard the saying, “Real men wear pink,” and it’s true. Pink was actually seen as a strong color for men up until the late 19th century.
From soft pastels to brighter pinks, these shades work surprisingly well with many staples in your wardrobe like brown, beige, blue, white, or dark green.
Pink is incredibly versatile, whether you're reaching for a pink shirt, a pair of pink shorts, or even pink socks - if you're feeling bold.
One thing to keep in mind: make sure the pink doesn’t blend too closely with your skin tone. If you’ve got fair skin, go for a brighter pink. For those with darker complexions, lighter shades of pink will pop nicely.
Easy combinations: Reds (including brown), beige, white, blue, dark green.
Green
We tend to think of khaki green as the go-to shade, but there are plenty of other greens that look sharp on men.
Whether you choose a dark military green or a lighter shade like mint, green pairs effortlessly with blues, whites, and grays. For a more rugged look, darker greens work well with earthy tones like brown or mustard yellow.
This summer, opt for mint green shorts or short-sleeve shirts. If you want to turn heads, go for bright green accessories - sneakers, in particular, are a great way to add a splash of green without going overboard.
For those with yellow-toned skin (like many in Vietnam), it’s best to choose greens that lean more toward blue to avoid looking washed out.
Easy combinations: Blue, white, gray.
Yellow
Yellow isn’t a color you see a lot in men’s fashion, but if you pull it off right, it’s a game changer- especially in the summer.
Since yellow is so bright, it’s best used in moderation and paired with neutral tones. Stick to colors like white, blue, gray, beige, and charcoal to balance out the vibrancy.
And as always, consider your skin tone - if your skin has a similar tone, avoid shades of yellow that match too closely. Instead, go for bright, vivid yellows.
Try yellow t-shirts, polo shirts, or even chinos. Yellow sneakers are also a stylish yet easy-to-wear choice for summer.
Easy combinations: Neutral tones, navy blue.
