Color coordination and the learning curve

Two weeks back, I shared a picture (the second one in the attachment) and received constructive feedback. If you see although the t-shirt has a dual color (black and canary yellow), the beige chinos kind of created a distraction by breaking the color scheme.

@Chad Smith

has been a great contributor to all my posts, and I have taken the message to change some pieces in the outfit for my weekend hustle today.

The outfit has:

THE TOP: Canary yellow-black textured Tee with a white horizontal stripe along the torso.

THE LAYERING PIECE: Mid-wash denim jacket (Levi's Type III).

THE BOTTOM: Navy MTM chinos with high waist.

THE BELT: Black

THE WATCH: Blue strap, blue dial, gold frame.

THE FOOTWEAR: Blue suede penny loafers.

If you see, the navy chinos elongate the look and reduce the distraction from a color break that beige chinos would do.

Also note how folding the denim jacket sleeves adds that extra spice to the look due to (a) a lighter blue hue on the inside of the jacket which complements the jacket's washed nature itself and (b) a kinda matching sheen with the brass buttons on the jacket!

Finally (here comes the rebellion in me), the fun part, have you heard "blue and black never together"? See for yourself, my black belt and the predominantly blue ensemble are well coordinated! 😎

Your feedback is welcome. Happy weekend brothers! 🙏
