PRINCE OF PANTS

I am not the most traditional man in my approach towards fashion. I do believe in classic looks. However, the urge to tweak the convention just enough to make it subversive and, dare I say, theatric, is too tempting. That's how the powder blue suit became so famous. It's all in balancing the elements of your look.  

The easiest and most refreshing way to pump up your wardrobe is through color. Before the sphincters of the men reading this contract with the force of a black-hole, permit me to explain.
A man's fear of colors beyond black, white, or blue is unfounded and silly. Color makes your basic pieces  exciting and, most importantly, the wearer more memorable. 
Here is my take on color utilized alongside a man's best piece. Pants, just pants, and this is how it's done....




YELLOW: Bright, fresh, and zesty, yellow is one of those colors that take neutrals into new and exciting places. Like, let's say, a business meeting on the wrong side town where patio furniture and garbage cans are knocked over. Looks rough...

The Look: Striped short sleeve button down/ American Apparel, Yellow skinny jeans/ Cheap Monday,
Suede and leather clutch/ Stylist's own archived vintage, Brown dress shoes/ H&M

GREEN: Lush, deep, and regal, verdant shades are best coupled with colors that are the opposite of their intensity but within a monochromatic scheme. Green is a color that evokes health and brings life to even the greyest of jackets, or days. I'm going to finish my nap now.

The Look: Plaid shirt/Standard Cloth, Grey jersey jacket/H&M, Green trousers & brown boots/Hawkings McGill

RED: Provocative, seductive, and passionate, red is the color most thought of when you want more bang for your buck or fruit in your fruit bunch. Sexy and dangerous, what else would you wear while you wait for someone behind a tool-shed...

The Look: Grey sweatshirt/H&M, Red trousers/ Hawkings McGill, Hi-tops/Converse, Jewelry Giles&Brother
