Colors

Harmony is something that is pleasing to the eye. It engages the viewer and itcreates an inner sense of order, a balance in the visual experience. Whensomething is not harmonious, it's either boring or chaotic.

Be sure to carefully match colors. Match your tie with your suit or your shirt, or

even your shoes and your belt. If youre a newbie to the matching scene, try

understated colors like soft blues, chocolate browns, rich creams, and sage

greens.

Tip: Avoid trying to match similar patterns together for your suit, shirt, and tie. It

can end up to be rather overwhelming, pattern-wise, and a little messy.

When matching your tie and shirt, have fun. Its not all about rules, but more

about experimenting to give you a more sophisticated, polished lookand give

you more options for work, dating, and weekends. Enjoy your new wardrobe!

Work with Dominant Colors

Always choose the shirt first! Its a lot easier to work with a plain background to

gain confidence. Get a tie that picks up the main color in your shirt, like this shirt

and tie set from Brooks Brothers.

Follow the Check Rules

If you want to wear one of the checked shirts for spring, choose a smaller check

on your shirt than whats on your body. Using rule #1 as your guide, you can

choose a tie that repeats the main color in your shirt for extra matching power.

This J. Crew shirt in blue works well with a larger checked tie with similar colors.

Vary Patterns for Maximum Impact

If you have mastered the first two parts, then this is where youll get toexperiment. If the colors are right and the patterns dont compete, you can match

lots of unexpected combinations. Make sure that one pattern is larger than the

other, and try matching tiny stripes like those in this Brooks Brothers shirt with an

overstated tie.

Dont be afraid to try combinations that you havent worn before! Dig through

your closet and try to discover new ways to wear what youve got.

Our goal when we put the various elements of our clothes together is to produce

harmony.

Harmony is something that is pleasing to the eye. It engages the viewer and itcreates an inner sense of order, a balance in the visual experience. Whensomething is not harmonious, it's either boring or chaotic.

At one extreme is a visual experience that is so bland that the viewer is notengaged. The human brain will reject under-stimulating information, such as amonochromatic ensemble with all the same texture.

At the other extreme is a visual experience that is so overdone, so chaotic that

the viewer can't stand to look at it. The human brain rejects what it cannotorganize, or understand, like four conflicting patterns and colors in an ensemble.Movie costumers often have characters they want to depict as weird wearing twoincompatible patterns.

In summary, extreme unity leads to under-stimulation, while extreme complexityleads to over-stimulation. Harmony is a dynamic equilibrium

Core Color

is the dominant color in a color scheme. Its the color of the principal item inyour ensemble like your suit or a sweater.

Accent colors

are the second and sometimes third colors used in a color scheme. The accentcolors may be complementary, triad, analogous or neutral.

Triad.

The first or primary triad colors in the color wheel (or spectrum) are red, blueand yellow. (Navy suit, pale yellow shirt, burgundy tie) These are called purecolors because mixing them with each other and/or with white or black can makeall other co colors.

Analogous colors:

(also known as adjacent colors, harmonious colors, and related colors),

are Colors, which lie next to each other on the color wheel (contiguous colors).They harmonize since they each contain some of the same color. An examplewould be blue pants, a blue-green shirt and a purple sweater.

Warm and Cool:

Families of analogous colors include warm colors (red, orange, yellow) and coolcolors (green, blue, violet). Designers often build color schemes around two orthree related colors.

Select two warm colors with one cool or two cool with one warm to createdynamic harmony. Examples: navy suit, light blue shirt and red tie, or a yellowshirt, rust jacket and blue jeans.

Neutral: shades of white, black, gray or tan.

Neutrals work well with all colors or may be worn together. Khaki pants, whiteshirt and a gray sweater worn together create an ensemble made up of allneutral colors. Together, all neutrals may not be a dynamic look, but it is

sophisticated.

Black, White, Gray, Tan, and Brown are not separate colors on the color wheel,but are made up of different percentages of red, yellow and blue. To makeneutral colors mix either all three primary colors, or mix a primary and secondarycolor (secondary colors are made from mixing two primaries).

Putting the Core color and Accent color chart to specific practice:These are Colors that traditionally go well together, but remember this is only aguide.

Seasonal Colors:

Some colors are more appropriate at certain times of year than others. Like thepastels of yellow, are usually associated with summer, while autumn colors arerust, brown, green, and burgundy. Wearing rust in the summer, or light yellow inthe fall looks out of place

THE PERFECT MATCH

As a general rule, men should follow these color combinations when decidingwhat shoes to wear with what pants, regardless of if they're dressy or not. Keepin mind that there are a bunch of other colors that could be thrown into the mix,

but we'll keep it simple because the fashion police is very busy as it is.3
