Introduction • Neutral pieces have been an open secret in the men’s fashion world for generations. • Billed as the “anchors” of a wardrobe, they are usually used to tone down the more colorful pieces of your wardrobe.
Introduction But neutrals are so much more than that. • We’re going to teach the art of layering your neutrals from street wear to the boardroom.
The Neutral Rules • Dressing tone-on-tone isn’t as easy as it sounds, but it doesn’t have to be scary. You can up your neutral game with just a few little tricks:
The Neutral Rules • Play with Pattern and Texture: If you’re going with a flat-front white pant, add a thicker sweater, or a great camel overcoat to offset the cleanness of the pant. • Different textures will give a different dimension with each piece that maybe wouldn’t be seen individually.
The Neutral Rules • Mix It Up: Adding dressier pieces with more casual makes the look more refined and will work for any mid-casual situation you might be in.
The Neutral Rules • Play With Volume: Pairing wider sweater and jacket with slimmer jeans or pants brings a playfulness to the overall look, while still being 2018 chic. • Just remember, when playing with volume, tailoring is the difference between a put-together look, and a sloppy mess.
The Neutral Rules • Don’t Forget The Shoes: Stay with shoes in the same hue as your outfit, and no more than a couple shades away from your darkest color.
The Weekend Look • Whoever told you grey and brown don’t mix hasn’t been keeping up. • A heather grey pant with a beautiful cognac leather jacket make getting ready for Saturday drinks a breeze. Add a rich, white crew neck to the mix and it’s a hit.
The Weekend Look • Match with shoes of a similar cognac color, or for an even more casual look, grab a pair of white trainers, or white canvas loafers.
Office Casual Chic • Just because it’s casual, doesn’t mean it has to be drab. You can never go wrong with a beautiful pair of tailored tan dress pants, a pressed button down, and a sport jacket. • If you’re sticking with a easy light color, think about adding pattern and texture in your sport jacket.
Office Casual Chic • When it comes down to it, the greatest thing you can do for your office look is wrinkle-free attire that you feel comfortable and confident in.
Suit It Up • Just about anyone can pull off a suit, but it takes a confident man to pull of shades of taupe in a suit. • A tailored, slim-fit light tan or taupe suit is more versatile than you might think.
Suit It Up • Keep it simple and elegant by pairing with a lightly-starched white button down and brown belt and shoes. • We suggest using a brown with golden undertones.
Suit It Up • For a little flair, add a herringbone or plaid vest in neutral tones, or a beautiful mustard or sage-toned tie. • We’re almost certain no one will be wearing the same thing, and we also know you’ll be the best dressed in the room.
Suit It Up • Going out of your black and navy comfort zone can be a little daunting, but the people at Karako are here to help guide you. • Call us, email us, or stop by today!
