Example of a wardrobe - The Uniform ManYou have a specific uniform you wear that is required by the nature of your work. The only time you need personal clothing is when you have time off in the evenings and your weekends. You wear a suit rarely, but when you do you like to look sharp as being a man of detail you pay attention to the small things.

How to choose the accessories• Define the setting
For Professionals1- Casual: In a formal business setting, this should not extend beyond a shirt
without a tie or a polo shirt and khakis. In such an environment, denim, shorts, T-shirts, and open-toe sandals are not acceptable. However, in more informal, often younger business settings, such attire may indeed be permissible.
2- Semi-formal: A nice dress shirt with an optional tie, good quality chinos or trousers, and a sports coat is highly recommended.
3- Formal: A tailor-made suit, impeccably pressed shirt and conservative tie is the norm. Pinstripe is a great choice, and a vest is a nice addition as well. For formal wear, it's not recommended to mix and match blazers with trousers. Keep it uniform.
• Choose what is necessary and try not to go overboard• Co-ordinate with the color theme and apparels chosen• Matching socks to trousers; shoes, belt, watch, wallet

Colour Coordination for Men
• Introduction – The Colour Wheel and Colour Basics
• By looking at the basics of colour and how to incorporate these basics into an outfit we will be able to confidently develop the knowledge necessary to match our clothes properly, allowing us to look our best
![Page 12: Wardrobing, Accessorizing and Colour Co Ordination for men](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5442f23bafaf9ff7098b4772/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Color Basics – The Color Wheel
![Page 13: Wardrobing, Accessorizing and Colour Co Ordination for men](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5442f23bafaf9ff7098b4772/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
5 key colour wheel concepts1. Core Colour – the dominant colour in a colour
scheme. For example in terms of an ensemble, it would usually be the colour of a jacket or sweater.
2. Accent Colours – Secondary colours used in a colour scheme. Accent colours may be complementary, triad, analogous or neutral.
a. Complementary colours – colours that are directly across from one another on the colour wheel.
![Page 14: Wardrobing, Accessorizing and Colour Co Ordination for men](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5442f23bafaf9ff7098b4772/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
b) Triad Colours – Three colours that are equidistant on the colour wheel.
c) Analogous Colours – Colours that border each other on the colour wheel.
![Page 15: Wardrobing, Accessorizing and Colour Co Ordination for men](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5442f23bafaf9ff7098b4772/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Wardrobing, Accessorizing and Colour Co Ordination for men](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5442f23bafaf9ff7098b4772/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Using this as a reference is key when coordinating colours.
• Conclusion – Just touching the surface of the Colour Wheel
• The Wheel will provide guidelines and suggestions as to how to properly match clothing, but when it comes down to it, it’s about how you think you look in your clothes, and how they make you feel. Don’t become a slave to the science of colour coordination, but rather use the knowledge it provides to better assist your personal style.
![Page 17: Wardrobing, Accessorizing and Colour Co Ordination for men](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5442f23bafaf9ff7098b4772/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• The closer the colours are to each other, the easier they are to coordinate. For example, wearing a blue dress shirt with a tie that has blue-green strips is a good, simple coordination. On the other hand, trying to mix yellow-green and red-violet can get messy, so knowing how to mix these colours is important.
• The first things to look at when learning about contrast if understanding the colours and contrasts of your body. Your hair colour, eye colour, and skin colour play an important role in developing the proper contrast within your outfit. These three factors, which every man has, determine whether a man is of high, low, or medium contrast.
![Page 18: Wardrobing, Accessorizing and Colour Co Ordination for men](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5442f23bafaf9ff7098b4772/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• High Contrast Men• Men whose hair colour contrasts their skin colour greatly fall under this category. For example, men with black hair and white skin. The most important thing for men in this category is to try to mimic this same contrast with their clothes. A dark suit (navy blue or black) and a white dress shirt or a charcoal gray suit with a blue dress shirt will both provide this desired contrast. As for ties, any tie that distinctly stands out from the shirt will compliment a high contrast man.

• Low Contrast Men
• Low contrast men have a much more subtle, if any, contrast. Men with light hair and light skin fall into this category, and (usually) so do men with red hair, bald men, and men with little hair. The ability for a low contrast man to look good is the complete opposite from that of a high contrast man.• A colour combination for low contrast men• Low contrast men should strive for a monochromatic (single colour) look. A dark blue or earth-toned dress shirt with a dark suit will work best most of the time. As for ties, something that contrasts too much will take attention away from the face, so having a tie similar to the colour of your suit and shirt will work best.

• Medium Contrast Men
• Men who don’t fall under either extreme usually fall into this category. Dark skinned men with dark hair or light skinned men with white or gray hair usually fit into this group. Since there is such a wide variety of facial tones and hair colours, it is difficult to pinpoint specific guidance to this group.
• The mentioned dark skinned man with dark hair would lean more towards the high contrast side, while the light skinned man with white or gray hair leans more towards the low contrast side. With that being said, it should be mentioned that medium contrast men could easily explore and enjoy what both sides have to offer, but should do so without wandering too far off into one of the extremes.
