White goes with everything – When all your other fashion choices fail to make a statement, go with white. A nice, clean white shirt can be worn with nearly anything you own, especially those oddly colored items you’re not sure what to match with. Wear a white shirt with a bright patterned tie for new look, or wearing it under a pastel-colored V-neck sweater is another hot new trend. Throughout centuries a well-fitting white shirt is timeless, worth its weight in gold, and sure to keep you on the front line of fashion.

Gray complements bright colors – Are you looking for a few new ways to experiment with color? Try some gray. It works wonders for dulling down vivid colors, actually almost any color out there. So, if you ever get the urge to add some color to your wardrobe without going overboard, wear something gray. It can be pants, sweater, or even a jacket, just as long as it offsets the boldness of stronger, brighter colors. You will earn some kudos for the stylish use of color, plus it makes you smart and sophisticated just from a color that is cool, classic, and chic.

Never wear colored pants – It doesn’t matter how important you may think you are. You should never, ever wear colored pants. Pants are the one part of your clothing attire that should never have any mixture of colors. Loud colored pants are obnoxious. If your pants get more attention than your shirt or tie, then they are too loud. Your pants provide the foundation for all of your outfits and should always look understated, polished, and refined.

Wear complementary colors – Complimenting colors will garner you complements from everyone. Complementary colors are ones directly opposite to another on the color wheel. A few examples would be red and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange. Matching complementary colors shows you are confident stating that you are a knowledgeable dresser.
