Men’s Fashion and Colors

Colors have their own significance in fashion. Every color represents something different; a different mood, a different feeling! For instance, the simplest example would be of the colors of yin and yang- ‘black’ and ‘white’. When we look at the color black, we get an instant sense of darkness and mystery while the color white reminds us of light, peace and purity.

Have you ever noticed that parents tend to choose clothes in pink tones for girls and in blue shades for boys; why is that so? Simply because colors speak for themselves! Different colors give rise to different feelings and thus we have associated them accordingly.

                 

In fact, just try a simple practice next time you are getting ready to go out. Just notice what kind of clothes and what color you choose for the day. Let me give you a hint; you are likely to pick a color depending on your mood. However, what I want you to do is pick a different color and notice how it influences your day.

                 

Now, let’s take a quick look on what different colors represent in fashion-wear:
1.    Blue: If colors were people, blue would undoubtedly be the king. It is associated with feelings like trust, commitment and dependency.
2.    Green: Green is one of the most favorable colors in menswear. One look at green arises the feelings of peace, balance, nature and refreshment. Those who prefer green are supposed to be in love with harmony and self control.
3.    Yellow: Yellow as it is, is associated with brightness and positivity. It also instills a sense of happiness, enlightenment and creativity to the surroundings.
4.    Orange: So, here’s a color that is known to bring out mixed responses. Some love it and some are disgusted with its immense brightness. Some tones of orange, however, are loved by all, including peach, rust and terra cotta, and are associated with warmth, trust and reservoir of energy.
5.    Red: Red is one of the most vibrant and energetic colors known to human eye. If you need to highlight something and require everyone to instantly focus on a specific element, go for red. Other than that, red is associated with the feelings of love, passion, dominance and fury.
6.    Purple: Purple is most liked by those on a creative pursuit and represents royalty and mysticism.
7.    Brown: Brown represents nature, stability, determination and attainability.
