Now, you may be wondering what exactly I'm talking about when I say the word "unconventional". Now, we typically see a certain array of colors worn by most men whether it's a professional or a casual setting. Now, this would include shades of blue, gray, or brown, also black. Then there are some color options that are much more whimsical, especially in comparison to their more classic counterparts. Now, despite that these colors might be considered unconventional, at the right time or place they can be accepted.
So what exactly are unconventional suit colors? Well, let's look at the word unconventional The definition of unconventional is not based on or conforming to what is generally done or believed. Now, over history, we have seen men time and time again tend to gravitate towards neutral and dark tones for suits but there is an array of color options which some might also like to wear. For example, some might be yellow, green, purple, bright red, even orange. Some trendy brands would like to use some of these loud colors when developing a whimsical pattern or a unique fabric. Now you might be wondering how exactly you can differ between classic and more modern styles when it comes to color palette for your suits.
Landing on the more modern style of color options, instead of a navy suit perhaps somebody is wearing a bright blue colored suit and instead of a black maybe they're choosing for something more punchy like a red or an orange color. These styles probably will not last long during the test of time but because they're popular, they're often quickly adopted by fashion enthusiasts. Now, although we are talking about two different sides of the spectrum in terms of classic and modern style, there are some ways you can marry both of these styles together properly.
First, wearing a dark colored suit and then also trying to infuse that option with brighter colors in your accessories, for example, for a more modern approach. And also, you could try wearing a more bright colored and modern suit but toning it down a little bit with some darker elements, maybe with your shoes or the tie option you choose.
How to find the best unconventional colors for yourself.
One of the first things you want to consider when you're picking your colors is where are you going? Now for an example, let's say you're out dining with friends, this is a great time to have your suit color choice be more moderately colorful. Having a warm touch of color or having a neutral base with some color woven for your overall suit.
Next, let's consider a possible wedding for former classmate of yours. Now, some wedding parties can have a very strict dress code for their attendants. Now, if this is not the rule for the wedding you are attending, consider wearing something more traditional leaning for your outfit choice. Meaning, instead of wearing a traditional navy, you could try a more bright blue or instead of a charcoal, try wearing a light gray.
Next example, let's consider your getting ready for a job interview.
Depending on the type of job you are interviewing for, it might be helpful for you to try to incorporate some of the company colors into your outfit.
You also want to pay attention to seasonality when you're selecting your different colors and the fabric weight. Now, if you're anything like me and you get warm quite easily in the warmer months, you probably are going to prefer a lighter weight fabric and something that breathes a little bit better. There are often a lot of great bold and bright color options available in these warmer months. Now, in the cooler months, it might be more advantageous for you to try to opt for a darker color of suit in contrast to the lack of colors you're going to be seeing outside. Now in addition to black, gray, or navy, try adding in camel or burgundy or an olive and for some fun, the classic black watch pattern is always a great option.
