How Much Color Is Too Much? A Guide to Perfecting Your Wardrobe {{ currentPage ? currentPage.title : "" }}

Black, white, gray. All these colors are useful in your wardrobe, but they don’t deliver the pop you’re looking for.

It’s time to bring a little more color into your favorite outfits to help them stand out.

Navy Blue Blazer

With green golf polos, blue button ups, and purple shorts, you can create the perfect look to match your personality. Here’s everything you need to know about incorporating more color into your daily style.

Why Are Colors So Important?

The three parts of a perfect outfit triangle are style, cut, and color. So, what makes color so important?

Color directly affects the vibe of your entire fit. Vibrant hues like red and yellow make a statement and build a memorable aesthetic, while more earthy tones can help you feel grounded and remind you of the calming aspects of nature.

The next time you open up your closet and start putting an outfit together, keep color in the forefront of your mind. It can make or break your look, even if you choose the perfect cut and style.

Start with Neutrals

Neutral colors are the base of every great wardrobe. You can’t start wearing bright green jackets or blue shorts without a good selection of blacks, whites, and grays to balance it out.

You should have all your wardrobe essentials in a good range of neutral hues. Find a collared shirt you love wearing, and get it in white, black, light blue, and navy. Keep some black, gray, and khaki five-pocket pants ready to go. Exceptional outfits start with a solid foundation.

The best part? If that’s all the color you want, you’re set. But if you want to jazz up your style, it’s time for more color.

3 Is Your Magic Number

Now it’s time to add some color to your look. But there’s a general rule you can make a habit of following. It’s the rule of three.

Don’t build an outfit with more than three colors.

That means if you’re already wearing gray and white, one standout color will be more than enough to complete your look. Wearing gray pants and a white button up? Add a navy blue blazer for a touch of sophisticated style. Wearing olive chinos and a sandy long sleeve dress shirt? A blue puffer vest can really bring your outfit together.

Pick One Signature Color for Each Fit

Signature colors are the vibrant hues that serve as the cornerstone of your look. It could be a floral print green polo, a pink no tuck dress shirt, or a bright blue quarter zip. No matter what color you choose, remember to stick with one signature color per outfit.

If you start mixing and matching too many vibrant colors, your outfit can quickly lose its focus or become unbalanced. It’s best to choose one hue to stand out and fill out the rest of your look with tried-and-true neutrals. That way, your color choices don’t steal attention from each other. Instead, every piece comes together for a unified look.

Bring It All Together

Now it’s time to put the finishing touches on your style. Color has helped pull your entire outfit together, and if you follow the same rules for accessories like your belt, watch, hat, and socks, you can build a cohesive look that looks professional, draws compliments, and builds confidence. Choose neutrals that complement each other, and steer clear of any colorful accessories that clash with the outfit’s signature color.

All that’s left is to get out there and find the colors that help amplify your personal style.
