Have you noticed the brightness of your clothes?

I have noticed this a bit. I used to wear black shirts most days, but wearing a nice colorful shirt that matches well with your pants seems to make people look at you a bit more, at least enough to be noticeable. I'm not sure where it comes from but subconsciously I think of people who wear colorful clothes (not neon or tie die) as more friendly

Dude it’s actually a huge deal. I’ve noticed when I wear a lighter blue, my skin and everything looks more vibrant. I get a fuck ton of iois wearing light blue fitted tops. Just my observation and experience.

The advantages of dark/black clothing: if you soil it, rub some dirt on it, etc., it is not very noticeable. Also, practical for burglaries and other night crimes.

I've started to wear more white, red, pink. Girls love pink I've noticed, lol and it goes well with a full beard and BB-physique. Gotta watch out though, thin line between being interpreted as a homo. I rock black sometimes but never full on, gotta mix it up. Black jeans, white shirt. Pink shirt, dark blue jeans and so fourth. Single color is boring , always mix it up. From what I've read is that red stands out from the rest so if you want to get noticed wear some red and be confident and loud.

Totally agree man. Difference is night and day. As long as your clothes are fitted well and the colours suit you, you’ll look aesthetic af. Also if you lift and are at a low body fat, you’ll look good in almost any clothes

What kinda colors are we talking? like neons? bright blues, greens, reds, yellows? I usually wear all black this might be a problem.

talexanderc · 2018-05-26T21:21:37+00:00

I peacock the heck out of some bright colors. I have extremely high smv donuts just fuel too the fire.

aaaGreg · 2018-05-26T21:12:07+00:00

I keep it trad/preppy but also tastefully tailored. No black and plenty of pastels.

ashleyshafer27 · 2018-05-26T22:09:03+00:00

Don’t know what skin color you are but I have to massively disagree. Olive, Brown, tan, off white, and neutral colors are very in right now. Salmon, bright pastels, etc are so 2016

This is one of the most basic things to know for fashion/style.

Who knew that more vibrant hues portray a more vibrant persona than something like all black/darker hues.

Royal blue button down is my go to during the fall/winter and then during the summer I switch it over to a sky blue short sleeve button down so I can show off my arms and tan lol.

I find myself never wearing black when I go out anymore. The closest I get is a navy blue bomber jacket.

I think being more standoutish is even better. I'm 6'3 183 muscular physique wearing skinny jeans and fitted t-shirts, got told I dress like a rapper a lot. Got more attention in college when I switched my style up and still continues.

Martysteiner · 2018-05-26T23:55:48+00:00

For me it's red T-shirts. It matches my red beard and make a good combo.

Republic_of_Ash · 2018-05-27T01:11:42+00:00

Think 'peacock'. This is how it works.

Eslime · 2018-05-27T02:12:09+00:00

A simple clean white shirt goes a long way.

hazaraMoghul · 2018-05-27T04:02:30+00:00

I look Brazilian, out of 50 shades of grey, any of them looks awesome on me. White a big no no. My dark skin and glowing white. The contrast is huge.

Also black, just makes me look flat as in overall.

cenie · 2018-05-27T06:16:55+00:00

Nope, I wear black 95% of the time.

lol_throwaway303 · 2018-05-27T08:05:33+00:00

Of course it makes big difference. Nothing wrong with dark clothes but save that for music venues for shows, not bars. Rocking a bright colored or printed button down shows confidence and makes you stand out among the rest.

Thunderfin · 2018-05-27T09:26:30+00:00

Tight wight shirt, jean or leather jacket, and jeans. That's all you need.

Wrath_of_Trump · 2018-05-26T22:33:53+00:00

One guy used to tell me that I rocked the black T-shirt with jeans pretty well. I like to wear a more colorful button-down or jacket over whatever black, grey, white, or blue shirt I'm wearing.

Edit: Spelling

Peter_B_Long · 2018-05-26T21:38:16+00:00

I mean, not really. I was a metalhead in high school and I kept the dark colors through my adulthood. I pretty much only wear black, grays, & blues.

I have however began to add "touches of pop" for example: I started wearing a pinky ring, I grew my facial hair out, and I'm planning on buying some all white sneakers.

That's just my style. I'm brown skinned so I personally don't think I look good on bright colors.

dongpal · 2018-05-27T08:53:15+00:00

after first long LTR, if she is any kind of fashionable, will drag you down to colors in a positive way.

people tend to go for safe clothes, "you cant go wrong with black or dark clothes", just like most women wear it. but if you have any kind of style you use colors mostly.
