Shades of Grey

Most men don't do color (I know we've talked about this before, right?). C'mon ~ just try something new and more colorful...and I'm not advocating or even pushing for a full-on lime and cherry striped suit with a lemonade tie but, try it out in doses. Here are the levels and you can pick what's comfortable for you:

• toe-dip: bright shoes {people notice your shoes especially if they're juxtaposed against a neutral navy suit or camel slacks
• waist-high wading: bright shirts {it's the closest thing to your face so, undoubtedly it will be a little more dapper}
• jumping in the deep end: bright pants { it's the main piece of your outfit and depending on your top, it can definitely say bold!}
