Neutral on the subject.

There are some misconceptions as to what is a 'neutral' color when putting together one's style. Fellas neutrals are any color that has is universal and can be paired with any brighter and more saturated color or with a more dominant pattern.


The most obvious/most recognized neutrals include:
  • black
  • white
  • gray
  • tan/khaki/beige/taupe
  • navy
Other neutrals that you should try and use to add an extra dose of style are (but are not limited to):
  • burgundy/maroon
  • hunter green
  • less saturated versions of most colors
  • very dark versions of most colors
The thing with neutrals is that they provide a great base for an outfit or if done properly can make up an outfit entirely. This is especially stylish during these hot summer months when light, neutral colors can keep you cool. When putting together an entirely neutral outfit stick to very similar shades an mix up textures and patterns.
